Eco-Friendly Components

MARA uses recycled and recyclable glass bottles. Our unit cartons are FSC-Certified and use low VOC UV vegetable-based inks, recyclable water-based coatings and have optimum packing design to minimize paperboard waste and reduce forestry burning.

Recycle With Us

We are currently re-vamping our recycling program. All glass bottles, pipettes and aluminum collars should be recycled with your home recycling. Silicone bulbs and PET plastic lip balms can be discarded in the trash.

Wild Collected Algae

Our proprietary blend is sustainably harvested via wild collecting in Ireland and France, a method similar to wild crafting that ensures algae colonies are not over harvested and stay healthy year over year.

Bioaccumulation & Eco-toxicity

Bioaccumulation occurs when certain chemicals build up in ocean ecosystems faster than they can break down, harming marine life over time. MARA chooses only clean, biodegradable, ocean-safe actives that align with our mission of responsible, algae-powered skincare.

Green Manufacturing Practices

We have green manufacturing practice in place to reduce energy consumption, pollution, and help conserve natural resources.
