What does this brand sell?
Jean&Len started in 2013 to make shampoo for kids without “fuss” -i.e. free from silicones, parabens, or animal ingredients. Since then, their range has continuously expanded to include make-up, drinks, vegan leather handbags, as well as jewellery. They offer refillables for some of their cosmetics and care products..
To close the gap between traditional, dogmatic natural cosmetics, which have natural ingredients but often look boring and “eco”, and stylish and pleasurable products.

Large soap dispensers and other products are packaged in glass bottles that can be 100% recycled. Other bottles are made from (dark) PET, white high-density polyethylene, aluminium laminate and their pumps of polypropylene. They use plastic because in some cases the production and recycling of glass consumes more energy than plastic does. Almost all packaging can be recycled.
They donate to various projects e.g. 1000 EUR to the Turtle Foundation, 3000 EUR to the Ocean Cleanup, koala’s that were injured due to the Australian wildfires in 2020, and planted 1000 trees in 2019 with OroVerde.
Suppliers are certified responsible palm oil sources but they deliberately don't have their own certifications (they explain why in their FAQ)

Packaging is made from plastic (recyclable dark PET, PP, HDPE), recycled plastic, aluminium, and for some products, glass. They will continue to use glass in more of their product packaging for products where it makes sense, meaning the costs and energy usage of melting the used glass dispensers and transporting the heavier weight of the products actually weighs up.
They try to increase their sustainability at the office and separate their office waste. They minimise their paper-use through using digital administration and correspondence. At the office, they bring their home-made meals and if ordering something, they do this using reusable packaging. Their water dispensers for employees are served in reusable glass bottles.
No toxic materials are used in their products.
