routine x mother nature

the ripple effect

Routine believes in supporting both local and sustainable packaging to deliver all our customers the products they deserve with zero compromise on quality, design, or sustainability. Here are some of the ways our sister-owned business is working towards positive impact on the community and earth.

refill & collection programs

At routine, we encourage the re-use of our beautiful packaging to reduce waste, which is why we wanted a way for people to refill their vessels for eva and eva. Since its inception in 2018, over 100,000 cream deodorant jars have been refilled at 180+ locations. Customers can bring in their empty, clean packaging (Deodorant jars, Shampoo/Conditioner flasks and Body Cream bottles) to be refilled at a reduced price.

PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FOR REFILL

only clean in your routine

We set out on a journey over 11 years ago to create effective formulas safe enough to use on our children. Routine is made with carefully selected, natural ingredients because we actually, genuinely care. Because of daughters, sons, friends and neighbours. You.

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE LAUGH LOVE.

supporting local

Being a local business, we know the importance of putting support back into the local economy, which is why we use local artisans and manufacturers wherever possible. Because who wouldn't want to have a beer with their bottle printer or manufacturer post-production? We certainly do. As a bonus, this also reduces our eco footprint by eliminating the need to ship packaging long distances.
