You may know that Etta + Billie makes all their skincare products with natural ingredients. (No weird stuff like artificial colors and scents.) But did you know that we also use sustainable practices and recyclable packaging?

The scrubs sit for at least 20 hours so they will harden up.
Unmold, wrap in beautiful gold foil (also happens to be recyclable!).
Handwrite our batch numbers on our boxes, pop the scrubs in and voila!
