MORE ABOUT THE BUTTERFLY MARK
Biodiversity
INGREDIENTS
We source the very best natural ingredients in respect for people and biodiversity. We have traceability on provenance and CSR actions and improvement plans.
Agricultural Practice
Our fragrance partner works closely with local cooperatives and farmers, providing advice and training in Good Agricultural Practices, collection methods, and are taking steps to reduce the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides.
REPLANTING
In Madagascar, they plant between 10,000 and 20,000 Ylang-Ylang seedlings every year to ensure its sustainability. The Group has also left 52 hectares of protected biodiversity. Half of this area (of which 17 hectares have been designated as protected areas) will never be exploited.
Eco-cert compliance
Our preservatives are Eco-cert compliant, and our soaps contain Shea Butter from organic farming.
PALM OIL
Our Bath and Body products incorporate responsibly sourced (RSPO) Palm Oil derivatives.
Upon investigation we understand that, currently, this is a better option for the environment than some the alternative vegetable oils which can require up to nine times the land to produce the same amount of oil. We are however, committed to continually reviewing the landscape, engaging with the industry and with our suppliers to find even better sustainable alternatives.
Water Management
water re-use
Our fragrance partner already re-uses water for the watering of local crops (Rose, Tuberose, Ylang Ylang) in Grasse, France but water is still needed in the final product of perfumery (the Eau de Parfum).
Monitoring
Our Contract Manufacturers monitor their total consumption of water per month and the consumption of water in the production processes (% water used on equipment cleaning and % water used on the production), and we are engaging with them on supplying water data relating specifically to the production of Miller Harris products.
REDUCING WASTAGE
In 2022 our primary contract manufacturing partner switched from an internal water filtration unit to purchased water from a third-party supplier. The previous internal unit had a continual flow that flushed out regularly (resulting in uncontrolled waste). This change improved efficiencies, wastage, and traceability and resulted in a 45% reduction in usage.*
*First year of purchased water vs. the previous year with internal unit.

Product Recycling
-
Home
Our home fragrance vessels are made from glass, a material that can be placed in glass recycling streams in regions where local facilities permit. Because recycling systems vary by area, we encourage customers to consult their local recycling guidelines to ensure the correct disposal route.
Extending the life of your vessel through reuse is also a meaningful way to reduce waste.' -
Fragrance
Our EDP collection bottles are not currently recyclable due to the crimped neck and pump.
Historically the main reason for the use of crimped pumps within the industry was to better protect against leakage.
We are working with our suppliers on the development of a screw neck bottle for our core range, which will enable our bottles to be refilled. This will take time and thorough testing, but we are fully committed to the changeover. -
Bath & Body
Our Hand & Body Wash and Hand & Body Lotion bottles* are made from 100% rPET (post-consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate). PET is widely collected through household recycling systems.
*Bottle excluding pump.
Our Hand Creams come in aluminium tubes. Aluminium is a durable material that can be reprocessed repeatedly. The cap is made from PP (polypropylene)
INGREDIENTS
M.H Upcycled
20% of our Eau de Parfums now contain at least one upcycled material.
The production and control of natural materials for use in perfumery is at a crucial juncture in its history. We have a responsibility to look at the waste and biproducts within the manufacturing process.
