A Better Choice for Your Skin and the Planet

A Better Choice for Your Skin and the Planet

Because our work is inspired and directed by Mother Earth, we feel a responsibility to leave a profoundly positive impact not only on your skin, but also on our environment. These goals are not at odds with each other—in fact, they are deeply connected.

The products you use on your skin are inseparable from the way the ingredients have been grown, the formula crafted and the final product brought into the world. This heavy responsibility guides every step of our skincare formulation process, from our whole plant sourcing to our time-intensive infusion process, a meticulously slow method that many in the skincare industry would consider exhaustive and impractical. For us, we know this kind of care and attention is essential.

Why Choose a Sustainable Skincare Brand?

Often, you are pressured to make a choice between a sustainable skincare product and one that promises high performance. But at Vintner’s Daughter, we believe you should not have to choose. Truly sustainable and thoughtfully made skincare products will not ask you to compromise performance. Instead, they honor your skin, your values and the planet at once.

For us, this begins with our whole plant ingredients. Rather than isolating a single “hero” ingredient and filling the rest of our formulas with fillers and synthetic ingredients that do little to benefit your skin, we use only the world’s most nutrient-dense botanicals and honor their full spectrum of nutrition through our proprietary, weeks-long Phyto Radiance Infusion Process. By taking our time, we ensure these botanical ingredients share their complete array of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fatty acids and antioxidants with our formulas. 

By taking our time with this thoughtful, whole plant approach, we are able to create skincare that is not only sustainably made, vegan and cruelty free, but also powerfully beneficial for your skin. After application, skin appears more radiant because it is receiving a symphony of nutrients rather than a single note. Our formulas respect and protect your skin’s barrier rather than stripping it. They provide ongoing support rather than a fleeting illusion of benefits, helping your skin function as it was meant to—balanced, resilient and deeply nourished. These results are not created in spite of sustainability. They are created because of it.

Fewer, More Powerful Products

Our sustainable values also motivate us to create products that do more good for your skin in fewer steps. While the modern beauty landscape often equates more steps with more care, we know the opposite is true. With each formula we design, our goal is to help you edit your skincare routine into something more efficient, rather than simply accumulating more products.

Every Vintner’s Daughter product has the power to replace multiple steps in your routine. Active Botanical Serum may replace heavier creams, lotions and even eye creams in one simple step, while Active Treatment Essence is designed with the benefits of eight different products at once and Active Renewal Cleanser can serve as a makeup remover, oil-based cleanser, water-based cleanser and flash mask. These innovations are not a matter of convenience alone. When one product is capable of doing more, fewer resources are used overall. 

But again, you do not have to choose between these sustainably made skincare products and products that will deliver powerful results—in fact, making our formulas mutli-beneficial means your entire routine can perform better on your skin. Instead of layering many products with competing actives and synthetic fillers, you are giving your skin a concise, highly nutritive ritual made of truly complementary formulas, allowing your skin to find balance.

Sustainable Choices Along the Way

As a certified B Corp, we hold ourselves to the highest environmental and social standards. We audit, measure and repeatedly question our impact so that each year we can continue to raise the bar for ourselves again and again. 

Our ingredients are sourced from the world’s most conscious growers, many of which have used the same sustainable, organic farming practices for generations. Our commitment to sustainability also extends to our packaging. We have partnered with Pact Collective to help ensure that your empties receive the best second life possible, a small but meaningful step in reducing the burden of beauty waste on our environment. 

We are equally intentional about our climate impact. Each year, we offset our carbon emissions through carefully chosen projects, such as the Kootznoowoo Improved Forest Management Project in Alaska. Protecting forests helps safeguard biodiversity, water and air quality, and supports the long-term health of communities and ecosystems.

A Relationship Built on Respect

For us, sustainability will never be simply a seasonal event or a marketing theme. It is the framework through which we honor your skin, your lives and the world we share with every decision we make. From ingredient sourcing to formulation, from packaging to partnerships, we seek the path that reflects our belief that quality can never be rushed and values can never be compromised. Today and every day, we are honored to walk this path with you.
