Caudalie’s commitment is also reflected in an eco-design approach to its packaging. Every day, a team of packaging engineers develop increasingly innovative solutions that follow the rule of the 3R's: reduce, recycle, reuse.
Our objective? To minimise the environmental impact of our packaging by rethinking every material and every format, so that all our packaging is recycled and/or recyclable and/or refillable.
Reduce
To reduce material usage, Caudalie aims to lighten the weight and volume of its packaging, while promoting the use of recycled materials over the production of new ones.
100%
of our tubes are recyclable and/or made of recycled plastic(1)
By incorporating recycled plastic in our tubes, mainly from agri-food sectors (such as recycling milk bottles, water or carbonated drinks).
-21%
of virgin plastic used in our products(2)
Why does Caudalie still use plastic?
Plastic remains a lightweight, solid material that is compatible with Caudalie skincare formulas. However, every effort is made to reduce its use: - By removing virgin plastic as soon as possible, and incorporating more recycled plastic - By making packaging lighter
Recycle
Caudalie’s products packaging is designed to be recyclable through selective waste collection, but some components remain difficult to recycle… we are working on it!

53% of our packaging is recyclable(2)
100%

The majority of Caudalie skincare packaging is designed to be recycled directly at home, such as:
• All our cardboard boxes
• The bottles and caps of the aerosols (Grape Water) • The plastic tubes of the eye contour • All our glass bottles and jars • Glass bottles with a pump that can't be unscrewed (Beauty Elixir, Fresh Fragrances, Oil Elixirs, Self-tan Sundrops)Gouttes Autobronzantes) • The cardboard/paper packaging used for your online orders • 200ml Shower Gels
Recycling in-store
Packaging that is not covered by conventional channels can be collected and recycled directly in Caudalie Boutique-Spas.
700kg
of packaging was collected in 2024 in 13 committed Boutique SPAs.
Multi-material pumps, jar lids, and wooden caps of face masks. The eye contour applicators. Multi-material tubes for the hand and foot creams, Vinocrush powder and facial scrubs.
Caudalie is innovating to reduce its environmental impact through refillable products.
As of 2025, there are now 7 refillable products, and Caudalie continues to develop these solutions as a core part of its eco-design strategy.

(3) Recyclability rate assessed using CITEO’s TREE framework. Recyclable products = Score between A and C.(4) These figures are calculated on the basis of the estimated amount of packaging saved for manufacturing the refill versus the full retail jar.
