FAQs
General
Do you test on animals?
No, here at Bloom & Halo we ensure all our suppliers and products are completely cruelty free, we love our furry friends so we 100% do NOT test on animals.
Are your products vegan?
Yes! Our Supercharged Mix Mask, Skinshot Serum and Eye Need Dew products are all 100% vegan! Our Microexfolistick is not vegan as it contains collagen (which is derived from fish and not plants in this product).
Is your packaging recyclable?
Yes!! 87% of our packaging is fully recycable! We’re committed to helping reduce landfill waste using a mix of recyclable material, alternative packaging made from 96% less material than traditional designs.
We use FSC-certified paper for our boxed items and eco-friendly water inks to ensure responsible sourcing and as well as recycable plastics. We only have 2 components out of the entire range which are not recycable (the swab part of the Microefolistick and the sachets in our Supercharged mix mask is currently non-recyclable) but we are working on making these recycable.
We also have a FREE recycling programme for these components, please visit our sustainability page here. “

Are your products all-natural/organic?
Are your products safe to use around the eyes?
Yes, our products are safe to use around the eyes. However, we advise avoiding getting product directly into the eyes. If you do, rinse well with water.
How do I store your products?
Why are they one-use products?
We’ve decided to store the Micro Exfolistick formula and Skinshot Serum as one-time use products for many reasons – the main is to ensure they are safe and effective. Acids (AHAs / Ascorbic acid) can crystallize quickly and customers have to throw away bottles because of this! Our Skinshot Serum is also packaged in the syringe vessel because Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) oxidises when exposed to air. The syringe helps to keep the formula fresh and active at the point of use so nothing is wasted.
Sustainability
What should I do with the empty containers?
All of our containers are 100% recyclable so please make sure you rinse them carefully before you recycle them. We have 2 components which are not recycable (the swab part of the Micro Exfolistick and the sachets in our Supercharged Mix Mask are currently non-recyclable) but we are working on making these recycable. To help ensure as much of our packaging as possible stays out of landfills, you can find instructions on how to recycle each item on each product page.
Are the disintegrated patches a hazard for the sea/ocean life?
No, they disintegrate completely without causing any harm to sea/ocean life.
Why are you using 4 plastic containers instead of one container for the Micro Exfolistick. How is this eco-friendly?
This product contains active ingredients that produce best results when stored separately Vitamin C is notoriously prone to oxidizing and can break down when exposed to light or air. Our unique syringe vessel separates the ingredients (Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid) to keep both ingredients fresh and prevent oxidization.
Are your products recyclable or eco friendly/sustainable?
Our items are not made from recycled materials, however 87% of all packaging we use is fully recyclable and we are fully transparent about this (see our sustainability page for a full break down!)
All of our shipping boxes and materials are 100% recyclable, and printed using water based eco-friendly inks. Where possible we group freight and shipments together, to reduce our carbon footprint. We’re also super proud to use zero-waste shipper cartons for all of our orders. The shipping box you get your order in and shredded paper is 100% recyclable and the tape to close your box is biodegradable.
Per product –
Our Eye Need Dew eye patches are dissolvable in water and are 100% reef safe. All the packaging is 100% recyclable and we even encourage users to re-use the jar for coins, safety pins, hair grips after use etc.
Skinshot Serum – everything is 100% recyclable!
Our Supercharged Mix Mask and Micro Exfolistick boxes are FSC approved and 100% recyclable. However the swab in the Micro Exfolistick and sachets in the Supercharged mix mask are the only 2 components out of our entire range which are not able to be recycled at home. However, we are offering a FREE recycling program to compensate for this, whereby customers can return the inner swab and sachets back to us for free and we recycle them.
