Sustainability with Rhodes Skincare

Rhodes Skincare is a UK brand that produces sustainable skincare products from plant cells in packaging that is 100% recyclable and totally vegan-friendly. Cultivated in pure environments, with no pollution, no soil, and using minimal water – a process that increases plant’s beneficial potency and sustainability. This is Active Plant Cell Technology.

Plants have been the basis for medical and healing treatments throughout much of human history. The bark of the Pacific Yew tree for example is now used in the anti-cancer drug Paclitaxel, even though many plants have been classified as endangered species, due to over-harvesting. Paclitaxel for instance, requires 38,000 trees to produce the 25 kg – year demand. Plant Cell Technology is the 21st century solution to solve this issue. The new biotechnology respects the environment and our planet’s delicate ecosystem, because it doesn’t require any culture in fields and only takes a few millimetres of an original plant species to develop thousands of new active cells.

Recent advances, has allowed Rhodes Skincare to extract the key pillars from ancient plant life, binding the most potent elements of their natural genetic make-up to deliver the maximum benefits to skin.

The formulations use ingredients such as Himalyan Edelweiss – that limit the creation of free radicals, decrease melanin production and increase skin’s tolerance, which protects skin cells.

The Edelweiss Face Rescue also tightens sagging neck skin, lifts cheeks, smoothes laughter lines and wrinkles, as well as protecting against ageing pollution and UV radiation. “Sustainability is at the very heart of what we are trying to achieve”: says co-founder Annabel Rhodes.

Not only are the products fully recyclable, both of the tubes and bottles are made from sugar cane, drastically reducing their carbon footprint compared to oil-based plastic packaging. Consumers are becoming acutely aware of nature and its place within the eco-system and it is important to note the customer is at the heart of the Rhodes Skincare offering.
