SUSTAINABILITY

VIOLETTE_FR is made with love for our products, for our planet, and, above all, for you.

NOTE FROM VIOLETTE

"I always want VIOLETTE_FR to represent progress and we are part of a global movement to reduce waste and emissions created by the beauty industry. This comes from a personal passion driven by my upbringing, motherhood, and years of experience with countless beauty products, and it’s work I’m incredibly proud of. We are committed to sourcing and using environmentally-responsible materials, from the sustainable harvest of natural ingredients to packaging made with post-consumer recycled material. We pledge to continuously make improvements and advance the VIOLETTE_FR sustainability profile. We also ask that you join us and share your ideas on how we can improve."

CERTIFICATIONS & PARTNERSHIPS

  • LEAPING BUNNY CERTIFIED

    Being Leaping Bunny certified means committing to cruelty-free and vegan practices in making cosmetics and household products. This certification ensures that we do not test on animals or through our suppliers. This promise extends even to foreign markets, where they make sure no animal testing is done for regulatory purposes.

  • With every purchase of a product from VIOLETTE_FR, we automatically give one percent of revenue to leading sustainability organizations through our partnership with 1% for the Planet. As a company, we feel strongly that consistent giving to highly skilled organizations is critical to countering global climate change.

  • PACT COLLECTIVE

    VIOLETTE_FR is an official member of the Pact Collective - a nonprofit collective that strives to reduce packaging waste in the beauty industry.
