By sourcing from responsible suppliers and manufacturers overseen and controlled by UEBT, our goal is to consistently and effectively ensure the traceability of plant-based active ingredients and materials: from cultivation or harvesting to processing and integration into our products.
To this end, we work closely with all participants and stakeholders (farmers, local authorities, agronomists, etc.) to achieve our goals.

Since the brand's inception, we have been committed to selecting the finest materials from nature, prioritizing organic ingredients, and ensuring the safety of our products through strict formulation guidelines.

Some avocados used in the formulation process are not used, but we do not waste any of them. Instead, we combine technology and processes to extract active ingredients for use in different products. The entire avocado, including the pit, is used to extract natural avocado oil and avocado powder, and precious avocado extract® is extracted, becoming an important ingredient in the Mustela product line.

We employ unique technologies that respect human and Earth's resources: molecular distillation (a green process for separating and concentrating precious ingredients) and biotechnologies, such as enzymatic engineering, to replace the use of chemicals in the production process.

Since 2020, based on production volume per 100 units, our electricity consumption has decreased by 19.4%, natural gas consumption by 24.6%, and water consumption by 13.2%.

Since 2018, our production facilities in France have purchased 100% green electricity from renewable energy sources (wind, hydro, etc.).
At our Expanscience production facility, all electricity used is purchased 100% from France’s renewable electricity supply.

Our products are eco-designed throughout their entire lifecycle. Our bottles and cartons are 100% recyclable, significantly reducing packaging weight and shortening instructions. Whenever we use cartons, they are made from paper produced in sustainably managed forests and printed with plant-based inks.

We are currently experimenting with eco-friendly packaging sales: that is, the sale of non-prepackaged products. The idea behind this is to take the eco-design of our products a step further, especially with the reduction of packaging.
Reusable packaging is a green distribution method, belonging to the circular economy approach, and can replace plastic bottles.

GEODIS's storage warehouse is less than 800 meters from our factory (which has passed ISO14001 environmental management standard certification).

Did you know? Cardboard boxes from Mustela's production facilities have a second life! We reuse these boxes to ship some orders instead of using brand new, large boxes. This initiative aims to make better use of existing resources and reduce environmental impact.
