Plaine Products

Plaine Products excels in sustainability, with a refillable system using recyclable aluminum bottles to eliminate single-use plastics​. The brand is committed to carbon-neutral shipping through its partnership with We Are Neutral, which offsets carbon emissions via native tree planting and methane reduction initiatives​.

Their packaging is durable, designed for multiple reuses, and even their shipping materials are made from recycled content and sealed with paper tape to avoid plastic​. The brand could further enhance its already stellar sustainability practices slightly by continuing to explore alternatives to the plastic pumps, which are currently reusable but still made of plastic.

Plaine Products offers clean, non-toxic formulations free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. The brand uses natural ingredients like aloe vera, jojoba oil, and vitamin E, which are both safe for the skin and environmentally friendly. While they don't carry the USDA Organic certification, they use a significant number of organic ingredients and ensure that their products are biodegradable​.

Plaine Products has a strong commitment to social responsibility. They are a certified B Corporation, meeting high standards for social and environmental performance​. Additionally, the brand is Women-Owned and actively supports environmental initiatives through its 1% for the Planet membership, donating 1% of sales to environmental non-profits​.

While they are engaged in several meaningful partnerships and are transparent about their business practices, there is less focus on labor practices or fair-trade initiatives, areas where more transparency would improve their social responsibility score.
