Sustainability

The harmony of nature is the most powerful of all, and we believe in celebrating her.

It is our promise to consciously and continuously weave the notion of sustainability throughout our core DNA. In practicing a holistic perspective, every decision we make is guided by our high standards of doing good while creating magic—from our approach to packaging, ingredients and people.

It is our promise to offer high-performance clean products that are good for you and for the environment. As sustainability continues to evolve, we will continue to do so as well and would love for you to play apart in our journey. 

Here’s to building a sustainable future together!

Sustainability

Our Packaging

We say no to virgin plastic and are on a mission to remove plastic waste from landfills and oceans. We are a Plastic Negative brand and look to the full carbon footprint when choosing the right packaging for our products.

We work with 100% PCR bottles for our formulas–and for every Ceremonia product we sell, we also remove twice as much nature-bound plastic waste from the environment to be recycled and repurposed through our partnership with rePurpose Global.

In addition to contributing to actively removing plastic from the landfills by using PCR, the manufacturing of PCR bottles also has a much lower carbon footprint–especially when compared to the production of glass bottles. While glass can be recycled more times, a key problem with glass recycling is the remelting process, which is the most energy intensive part of glass production, accounting for 75% of the energy consumption of its production. This is why we’ve made the intentional choice of working primarily with PCR bottles, keeping a low carbon footprint while also helping to remove plastic from oceans and landfills. Other materials used across our products include sugarcane for our tubes and cornstarch for the pouches that most of our accessories come in.

Our Ingredients

Our original formulations are born at the intersection of farms and labs, featuring clean and ~95%+ natural ingredients, without silicones, parabens, sulftates, phthalates, artificial colorants and a long list of other not-so-great ingredients often found in conventional beauty products.

Our People

Babba Rivera founded Ceremonia with the mission to share and uplift the richness of her Latin culture, while driving representation and diversity within the beauty space. Growing up as a Latin American immigrant in a homogenous country like Sweden, Babba found herself underrepresented in mainstream media and the products she consumed. Despite the fact that Hispanics account for 20% of the U.S. population, Babba found herself equally underrepresented upon moving to the States, which led her on a journey to manifest a company that cultivates inclusivity in culture, whether first-gen, second-gen or mixed. Since launch, Babba has made history as the first Latina founded hair brand to launch with Sephora nationwide, and being one of less than 60 Latinas to ever raise over a million dollars in venture funding. Ceremonia is a conscious and community-driven brand, female-led from leadership and down, with multiple ethnicities represented within its diverse team of employees and community members.

OUR ANIMALS & WILDLIFE

Caring for the planet also means caring for the animals. Animals suffer physical harm, psychological distress, and oftentimes death when used for testing in beauty. We’re proud to be Vegan and Cruelty Free certified by The Leaping Bunny Organization, the only internationally recognized certificate guaranteeing consumers that no new animal tests were used in the development of any product development or ingredient suppliers. All of our product formulas go through extensive safety testing without the need of harming animals, leveraging PET, RIPT, stability testing and clinical studies to ensure safety before releasing a formula to the public.
