ABOUT HERBIVORE

At Herbivore, our mission is simple: to share the healing power of plants.

We scoured the earth to find the best plant-active ingredients that are clean, ethically-sourced, and proven to rival traditional ingredients  used in the industry. If you’ve ever struggled with traditional retinol, now's the time to make a clean swap.

WHO IS PACT COLLECTIVE?

This year, Herbivore entered the Pact Collective, a non-profit organization created to unite the beauty industry to take responsibility for the impacts of our packaging. As one of 170 members across beauty and wellness, we’re working with industry experts and other brands to push beauty packaging into a more circular system.

In our first partnership together, Herbivore is working with Pact to ensure that all Clean Swap trade-in products are diverted from the landfill and enter the circularity of the beauty supply chain.
