We align with local printers that pride themselves in using ECO prints and materials. All of our orders to you are posted out using recycled and reused packaging. We say NO to plastic and yes to reducing waste full stop.

• Why regeneration matters

As we evolve, so does our understanding of how we treat the world and how we live within it. We are called not only to sustainability, but to a broader vision of regeneration: of land, practices, cultures, and our own lives.

When we open to this way of thinking, we see how much is possible. Every small step counts and helps shape the path for others and for future generations.

Caring for our planet, our farming approaches, holistic health, food, water, and supply chains is vital. The more we source locally and close the loop, the more we help repair the Earth’s natural order and flow. With more natural, deeply ecological approaches, Mother Earth can heal.

• How everything is connected

Everything is connected. Our bodies are inseparable from the health of the planet. We live in a subtle, often unseen web where every thought, intention, and action affects the whole. We move in cycle with the seasons, moon, sun, and climate.

When soils, air, food, water, and the energetic resonance of the planet are compromised, our vitality is compromised too. We are, essentially, one.

 

• How Alkeme lives this in practice

To raise our frequency, we heal the Earth. To raise the frequency of the Earth, we heal ourselves. This begins right in front of us: noticing what we can change, what serves us moving forward, and what we can release or transform.

There is a deep well of knowledge available to all of us, and so much to share, experience, and reimagine. The ecological principles and energetic frequency that guide our business are present in everything we do. They are infused into our creams, oils, and potions, felt in a tangible way. Like calls to like, within each of us.

Our mission is simple and vast: to help regenerate the Earth and her peoples. It lives in everything we do, and you will always feel it in Alkeme.

We are against ALL animal testing. We didn’t even test our dog wash on our pets until we used it on ourselves first… or as Grant likes to share, we test on our own humans.

The sole animal-derived ingredient in our products is locally sourced beeswax. We utilise it in its raw form, harnessing its incredible healing properties for our skin.

This year, we’ve established our very own bee colony, contributing to the well-being and importance of these incredible bees.

We use recycled post-consumer plastic in our plastic bottles. This means they are made from our excess waste that would otherwise be landfill YAY! ​We use glass as much as possible because glass is beautiful and can be used over and over and over again. Turn our jars into pots, or food storage, or for keeping trinkets safe.

Hey, you can even build them into an earthen wall.

Dedicated to a sustainable future, we’ve embraced a holistic approach that extends from our daily operations to the heart of our products. Our commitment to closing the loop on sustainability is evident in our practices of harvesting and growing key ingredients. From cultivating our own plants to responsibly harvesting charcoal, pizio quartz, earth ochres clays, and various eucalypts from our local land, we prioritize eco-friendly processes.

Our fresh batch methodology ensures that the extracts in our products are crafted with care, utilizing plants such as Lemon myrtle, Aniseed myrtle, Strawberry gum, and more, all organically grown and harvested.  As we grow, so does our impact, forging collaborations and partnerships that further enrich our sustainable journey. Together, we’re weaving a tapestry of conscious choices that contribute to a greener, healthier planet.

This commitment to sustainability is not just a philosophy; it’s a living, evolving practice that reflects our dedication to preserving the Earth.

At the heart of our ethos is a steadfast commitment to living and breathing sustainable practices, both in our daily lives and within the fabric of our business. Operating with a deep sense of responsibility, we leverage modern technology and cloud hosting to minimize our environmental impact, steering clear of excessive paper usage and unnecessary waste. Collaboration is key to our sustainability journey. We actively align with local businesses, engaging in diverse initiatives such as supporting the #savetheturtles campaign at the Fitzroy Island turtle rehab center and contributing through donations. As our business grows, so does our network of collaborations, reinforcing our shared commitment to a greener future.

Moreover, we believe in closing the loop and nurturing local ecosystems. Our supply chains prioritize local sourcing, neutralizing carbon emissions and fostering microclimates with locally grown ingredients. Embracing innovation, we’ve implemented a greywater recycling system at our production facility, channeling water back to our herbal apothecary garden where we cultivate many of our plants. Taking advantage of the abundant sunshine, we sun-dry numerous plants and leaves on racks, exemplifying our dedication to sustainable business practices that leave a positive imprint on the world.

As we grow so will our collaborations.

Return your alkeme packaging for discounts, see below for our recycling program. We also reuse all of our boxes, and bubble wrap in our deliveries. We rarely buy our own, because we collect your waste cardboard and all things squishy like egg cartons, food packaging, etc to reuse and recycle in each order. We utilise recycled materials to wrap and are introducing a new refill program for spa partners and online customers.

So, when your next order comes in an egg carton or pre loved box, you know why.
