At MAISON 21G, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s at the core of everything we do. As one of the first perfumers to champion refillable bottles five years ago, we’ve been setting the top standard for eco-friendly perfumes. From our 30ml and 100ml refillable bottles to plastic-free packaging and cruelty-free, vegan formulas, we’re committed to leading the way in sustainable fragrance. Partnering with LMR IFF to ethically source natural ingredients, every MAISON 21G creation is a testament to sustainability, with a minimum of 30% natural ingredients and no parabens or phthalates or CRM or OGM. We take a clear positioning against harmful chemicals in perfumery.
Why Choose Sustainable And Eco-Friendly Perfumes?
The fragrance industry is undergoing a revolution, driven by consumers who demand ethical and environmentally conscious choices. Here’s why sustainable perfumes are becoming the future:
Rising Demand for Sustainability With growing awareness of environmental issues, consumers are prioritizing brands that align with their values. Sustainable perfumes reflect a commitment to the planet and responsible practices for sourcing natural ingredients.
Ethical Awareness The traditional perfume industry often involves unsustainable practices and harsh chemicals. Eco-friendly perfumes address these concerns, offering safer, cleaner alternatives.
Health and Environmental Concerns Many conventional perfumes contain synthetic ingredients that can harm both the wearer and the environment. By switching to sustainable perfumes, consumers contribute to a healthier planet and lifestyle.
What Makes Perfumes Sustainable And Eco-Friendly?
Not all perfumes are created equal. Here’s what sets sustainable perfumes apart:
Natural, Biodegradable and Renewable Ingredients Sustainable perfumes prioritize organic and natural ingredients sourced ethically. MAISON 21G works exclusively with eco-conscious supplier like LMR IFF (Laboratoire Monique Remy) to ensure our raw materials are ethically harvested. Laboratoire Monique Rémy (LMR), founded in 1983 by Monique Rémy in Grasse, France, operates under the guiding principle of delivering premium, 100% pure and natural extracts with a strict ethos of complete transparency and a commitment to environmental management and sustainable development. LMR Naturals by IFF has developed the Upcycling Collection, enabling the expansion of their scent by giving a second life to byproducts or unused materials, such as discarded harvest byproducts, spent extraction material, or side streams from processing facilities.
Avoidance of Harmful Chemicals We’ve banned parabens, phthalates, CMR and synthetic additives to ensure our formulas are safe for both the skin and the environment. CMR stands for Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reproductive Toxicant. These are chemical substances classified based on their potential to cause cancer, genetic mutations, or harm to reproductive health. Avoiding CMR ingredients is critical for sustainable and eco-friendly perfume formulations, including perfumes, to ensure they are safe for both consumers and the environment.
Avoidance of GMO GMO which translates to Genetically Modified Organism refers to organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, whose genetic material has been altered through genetic engineering. In the context of sustainability and eco-friendly practices in perfumery, avoiding OGMs is often a priority for brands focused on natural and ethical production. For example, naturals from LMR IFF used in MAISON 21G formulas, ensure their ingredients are sourced from non-GMO crops to maintain the purity and natural integrity of their extracts, aligning with environmentally conscious and health-focused consumers.
Sustainable Packaging From eco-friendly glass perfume bottles to refillable reed diffusers, MAISON 21G eliminates single-use plastics and embraces durable, reusable designs.
Vegan and Cruelty-Free Our commitment extends to being 100% cruelty-free, offering perfumes that are as kind to animals as they are to the earth.
In perfumery, vegan perfume refers to fragrances that are entirely free from animal-derived ingredients. This includes avoiding traditional components like animal musk civet. Instead, vegan perfumes rely on plant-based or synthetic alternatives to achieve similar aromatic qualities. At MAISON 21, for instance Natural Muskarereplaced by synthetic musk or plant-based accords.
