Caudalie’s commitment is also reflected in an eco-design approach to its packaging. Every day, a team of packaging engineers develop increasingly innovative solutions that follow the rule of the 3R's: reduce, recycle, reuse.
Our objective? To minimise the environmental impact of our packaging by rethinking every material and every format, so that all our packaging is recycled and/or recyclable and/or refillable.
Reduce
To reduce material usage, Caudalie aims to lighten the weight and volume of its packaging, while promoting the use of recycled materials over the production of new ones.
100%
of our tubes are recyclable and/or made of recycled plastic(1)
By incorporating recycled plastic in our tubes, mainly from agri-food sectors (such as recycling milk bottles, water or carbonated drinks).
-21%
of virgin plastic used in our products(2)
Why does Caudalie still use plastic?
Plastic remains a lightweight, solid material that is compatible with Caudalie skincare formulas. However, every effort is made to reduce its use: - By removing virgin plastic as soon as possible, and incorporating more recycled plastic - By making packaging lighter
Recycle
Caudalie’s products packaging is designed to be recyclable through selective waste collection, but some components remain difficult to recycle… we are working on it!
53%
53% of our packaging is recyclable(2)
100%

100%

The majority of Caudalie skincare packaging is designed to be recycled directly at home, such as:
• All our cardboard boxes
• The bottles and caps of the aerosols (Grape Water) • The plastic tubes of the eye contour • All our glass bottles and jars • Glass bottles with a pump that can't be unscrewed (Beauty Elixir, Fresh Fragrances, Oil Elixirs, Self-tan Sundrops)Gouttes Autobronzantes) • The cardboard/paper packaging used for your online orders • 200ml Shower Gels
Recycling in-store
Packaging that is not covered by conventional channels can be collected and recycled directly in Caudalie Boutique-Spas.
700kg
of packaging was collected in 2024 in 13 committed Boutique SPAs.
Multi-material pumps, jar lids, and wooden caps of face masks. The eye contour applicators. Multi-material tubes for the hand and foot creams, Vinocrush powder and facial scrubs.
Reuse
Caudalie is innovating to reduce its environmental impact through refillable products.
As of 2025, there are now 7 refillable products, and Caudalie continues to develop these solutions as a core part of its eco-design strategy.

(3) Recyclability rate assessed using CITEO’s TREE framework. Recyclable products = Score between A and C. (4) These figures are calculated on the basis of the estimated amount of packaging saved for manufacturing the refill versus the full retail jar.
