Composting at home
Our products are all home compostable.
When you are finished with your Slo beauty tube or tub, you can chop it up and pop it into your compost bin or dig it into your garden. It will biodegrade and become food for earthworms and microbes.
Because we know waste is an issue, we have made it easy.
If composting is not an option you can safely pop these tubes and tubs into your rubbish bin or recycling bin. Happy days! Happy planet!
We love animals too
Slo decided from the onset that all our products would be vegan & cruelty-free. It is one of our core beliefs and we are certified with two organizations.
Animal cruelty free means that a product was manufactured without testing, harming, or killing animals. Not only does Slo not test on animals, but we only use ingredients that haven’t been tested on animals.
Slo is certified with PETA and NZVAS
