A LIFESTYLE CONCEPT ABOUT HOW TO MAKE THINGS LAST

Act of Caring started with an idea and a project that would contribute to reduced consumption while creating joy around taking care of what we already have.

We decided to create a lifestyle concept around care and cleaning that makes it easy to take care of our beloved belongings at home. Similar to how we care for our skin, we have created simple routines to extend the life of various materials such as marble, wood, leather, and metal.

BOTTLES & PACKAGING

Our bottles are made from 100% recycled PET bottles and are recyclable. The color may vary slightly from bottle to bottle. We think this is beautiful and gives the product a unique character. The material used for the bottles is collected plastic from beaches around the world that is ground down and turned into new plastic.

The collection project is called Prevented Ocean Plastics – "POP" and is run by a company called Bantam. – https://bantamltd.com/

SKIN CARE IS THE BODY

All our products are based on natural ingredients, vegan and biodegradable.

We have found the kindest non-toxic preservatives, which is often the biggest challenge when producing sustainable and commercial natural products.

We use our background and know-how in organic skin care and provide the same high standard of skin care when we produce care products from Act of Caring.

Our ingredients are purchased locally whenever possible to limit the CO2 impact due to long-distance transport.

Act of Caring's products are manufactured in a small factory on Sweden's west coast.

SCENTS

Act of Caring's formulas are scented with only the highest quality pure essential oils.

The reason is twofold; each essential oil has an additional function for the product's effectiveness, and the delightful scents will inspire care and provide a more pleasant experience.

• LEMON, YLANG-YLANG, EUCALYPTUS – our signature scent.
• SANDALWOOD, PINE TREE, PATCHOULI, TEA TREE
