Formulations

What is biocompatible skincare?

Biocompatibility is the science of working in synergy with the skin to deliver high performance results.

Biocompatible products are scientifically formulated to include ingredients that the skin recognises and accepts, which allows them to penetrate deeply without interrupting the skin's natural biological processes or causing irritation.

All WØRKS formulations are engineered for biocompatibility.

Do WØRKS products contain synthetic fragrance?

No. Our skin health formulations and pure soy wax candles are fragranced with 100% natural essential oils, botanicals and extracts for optimum health and wellbeing.

Synthetic fragrance is one of the leading causes of skin irritation and can cause widespread health problems when inhaled into the respiratory system and applied to the skin.

Ethics & Impact

What is the environmental impact of WØRKS?

We are committed to keeping our environmental impact as minimal as possible. This is reflected in the certified organic, fair trade and sustainably grown and harvested raw materials we use; our reusable glass vessels; our vegan and biodegradable formulations; our plastic-free presentation and shipping boxes; and our sustainable product refills.

We support certified organic growers to protect the environment from intensive farming, chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and guarantee the longterm sustainability of the crops. 

Are WØRKS products vegan and cruelty free?

Yes. Every WØRKS product is 100% vegan and cruelty free. We don’t use beeswax, palm oil, lanolin, honey, goat milk, animal fats or any other animal products or derivatives in our formulations. We don’t test on animals or use ingredients that have been tested on animals. 

Are WØRKS products natural?

Yes. WØRKS products are made with 100% naturally derived raw materials. Our formulations are free from synthetic ingredients that can impact human health and upset the delicate balance of the ecosystem when they enter the wastewater system.

Our formulations are free from parabens, sulphates (SLS, SLES, SDS, ALS), dyes, fillers, phthalates, PEGS (petroleum-based compounds), detergents, silicones, mineral oils and palm oil.

We formulate with certified organics, botanicals and natural extracts chosen for their biocompatability and efficacy.

Packaging

Why are WØRKS products packaged in glass?

From manufacture through to post-consumer, glass is the most sustainable option for personal care packaging. We encourage the reuse or repurpose of our glass vessels, however should they enter the recycling system they have a far lower environmental impact than plastic.

Glass can be recycled in perpetuity without a loss of integrity, while plastic has a limited recycling lifespana nd can only be 'downcycled' into products of lesser quality.

Globally, only 10% of plastics are recycled, with the remaining 90% ending up in landfill or discarded into our natural ecosystems.

Compostable and biodegradable plastics pose multiple problems of their own, being their inability to be commercially recycled; their inability to be suitably home composted; and manufacturing processes that rely on synthetic additives and plastic resins.

These factors means that biodegradable plastic is often just as harmful as regular plastic.

There is no such thing as sustainable plastic.

WØRKS is proudly single-use plastic free. 

Is glass safe for use in the bathroom?

We've taken a number of precautions to ensure that our glass vessels are as safe as possible. Each vessel is fitted with a non-slip silicon mat on the underside to prevent it from sliding on bathroom vanities or benches.

In the event of a breakage, our wrap-around labels are designed to hold the glass together to prevent shattering.

Should our clients want further assurance, we recommend the use of our discrete wall mount brackets. While currently reserved for our hospitality partners, our custom wall brackets are available for purchase upon request.
