Packaging
Zayti’s packaging appears to be mostly conventional and single-use, with an emphasis on plastic containers. Its liquid products (shampoos, conditioners, serums) are sold in plastic bottles or jars, and while the flagship hair growth oil comes in a glass dropper bottle, the dropper components are plastic/rubber.
There is no evidence of recycled content, compostable materials, or refill systems in use.
Ingredient Sustainability
Zayti’s formulations center on renewable ingredients. Their Argon Oil Shampoo is marketed as sulfate-free and paraben-free, with organic argan oil as a key ingredient.
For their hair wax, it’s described as an organic hair styling wax made with beeswax, coconut oil, and essential oils. Beeswax and coconut oil are biodegradable materials. Beeswax is a renewable resource (assuming ethical beekeeping) and a classic sustainable alternative to synthetic hair wax polymers. Coconut oil is widely available and not linked to major deforestation (unlike palm); it’s often a byproduct of coconut farming.
Across these products, Zayti demonstrates a strong preference for natural, plant-based, and ethically traditional ingredients. The brand explicitly avoids petrochemicals, harsh synthetics or environmentally persistent compounds.
Energy & Carbon Footprint
As a small company, Zayti operates on a modest scale, but even relative to its size it shows low transparency in this area. By contrast, higher-rated brands disclose factory energy mixes or have carbon-neutral commitments. Zayti has not announced any such initiatives.
Waste Management
There is no evidence that Zayti has implemented significant waste reduction or pollution mitigation efforts in production. The brand has not published information on manufacturing waste management, wastewater treatment, or recycling of production scrap.
On consumer/post-consumer waste, Zayti’s approach is conventional. Packaging waste is the primary post-use issue, and as discussed under Packaging, there are no take-back programs or refill options to reduce that waste stream. Consumers are left to dispose of plastic bottles and caps on their own, and it’s unclear if those components are recyclable in practice. There’s also no mention of efforts to minimize packaging or use recycled materials to divert waste from landfills. The brand’s product lineup includes a microfiber towel, which while reusable, can shed microplastic fibers when washed.
Business Model
Zayti’s business model lies somewhere between slow, sustainable beauty and typical fast-moving consumer goods. On one hand, the brand focuses on evergreen haircare products (oils, shampoo, conditioner) that are meant to be used regularly and repurchased as needed, not on ultra-trendy or seasonal items.
There are also aspects leaning toward higher consumption: Zayti offers a wide variety of items for a niche brand, including multiple oils/serums (regular, for dyed hair, lash serum), a hair mist, masks, tools, etc. The brand also runs frequent sales and promotions, with many products listed at discount (e.g. ~$49 cut to ~$34 for the hair oil, and bundle deals). Such promotions are common in retail but can incentivize over-purchasing or stockpiling, a trait of faster consumption models.
