It is our mission to lead a movement towards circular, carbon positive and transparent beauty. A circular beauty model is core to drastically lowering our carbon emissions.
Refill my product
As part of our circularity programme - the Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle - we offer refills for all your Emma Lewisham products. Refilling your Emma Lewisham significantly reduces carbon emissions - so you can feel good about your skin and your planet.
When you purchase a refillable pod instead of a completely new product, you are reducing carbon emissions by up to 70%, energy use by 60% and water use by 45% (Source: LCA Centre). As well as helping to reduce the billions of units of beauty waste that end up in landfill each year.

We have designed our packaging so that the inner component can be removed when it is empty and replaced with a full one that has been cleaned, sterilised, refilled and kept in circulation. We ask you to please return your empty inner pod back to us for sterilisation and reuse, or if it’s had too much wear and tear, we will ensure it is recycled through Terracycle. We ask that you collect 4 empty vessels before returning them to help reduce carbon emissions.

Recycle my product
We believe refills should always come before recycling. Refilling requires significantly less energy and resources, and therefore emits significantly less greenhouse gases, so where possible this should always be the first point of call.
However, when packaging we receive back has had too much wear and tear, we then ensure it is recycled. Contrary to common belief, most beauty containers are not kerbside recyclable due to its complexity. This is why we use specialised recyclers to ensure that packaging is recycled and that we’re moving towards circularity.
We ask that you collect 4 empty vessels/items of packaging before returning them to help reduce carbon emissions. Please remove any excess product before sending it to us for recycling. You can send the below packaging material back to us for recycling:
Accepted material:
• Emma Lewisham plastic bottles, tubes and pots
• Emma Lewisham lids, droppers, pumps and pots
• Emma Lewisham glass bottles and jars (see conditions) – please DO NOT send back broken glass.
Not accepted:
• Emma Lewisham cardboard external packaging (please place this in kerbside recycling)
• Emma Lewisham product cartons (please place this in kerbside recycling)
• Products from other brands
