IMPACT
We are committed to being progressive and adopting a 360 approach, which means continuously workshoping our practices so you can access skincare in a way that makes you feel good. Change starts with us, that’s why our products are refillable, clean and cruelty-free. We are conscious of our environmental and social impact and are committed to moving towards a circular beauty model. Continuously researching, learning and exploring ways in which we can reduce our impact, regenerate our ecosystem and support our social missions.

Our signature bottles are designed with longevity in mind for a permanent place in the beauty cabinet. High quality production adds intrinsic value, allowing the bottle to be refilled time and time again. Intentionally designed for a tactile connection to fit ergonomically in the palm of your hand.
Where possible, we have opted for ingredients grown on Australian soil, minimising our freight footprint and supporting our domestic agricultural market. This currently includes our Hemp Face Oil and Jojoba Face Oil.
The current market sees 70% of waste end up in landfill. If we shift to refillable we can reduce as much as 70% of carbon emissions associated with the beauty industry. We decided making something once was better than making it 100 times. Based on the knowledge we have access to, this is currently the lowest-impact solution for Foile. Every time you refill is another bottle saved.
Foile is committed to responsible purchasing practices throughout our supply chain. Responsible purchasing enables positive change at the supplier level so that every part of the supply chain benefits. It requires a trusting, direct and honest relationship where both parties are able to negotiate and share risks equally. It also indicates a purchaser who is committed to supporting human rights within the supply chain.
Foile is a small, local, independently-run business. We love working with and supporting other small, local or conscious businesses. Our team is based in Australia. The lab that helps us develop and then manufacture our products is based in Melbourne.
Our packaging & beauty tools are produced off-shore in China, where we work closely with all manufacturers. The factory that produces our bottles are striving for zero pollution; they recycle their water, use Natural Gas instead of coal and filter their smoke emissions through a water system using micro-filtration. Our skincare is made in Melbourne from local and imported ingredients.
We are conscious of the end life cycle of our products and are committed to ensuring our packaging does not end up in landfill. Where possible we utilise compostable materials and recyclable papers for third party packaging. We offer a returns program where you can return your empty pouches and bottles so they can be re-integrated back into our supply chain.
Foile requires all manufacturers and suppliers to adhere to our Code of Conduct. Should any supplier breach this conduct the partnership will be terminated.
