REVATION | Is Carbon-Neutral Beauty Truly Achievable?
Sustainable Premium Salon Packaging with KAO Kerasilk
1st Newsletter of May 2025
Hello ,
As spring blooms in full across the East Coast, brands are entering a season of reflection—on design, on impact, and most importantly, on sustainability.
In this month’s newsletter, we focus on the beauty industry's transition to carbon neutrality, share a signature eco-packaging project with hinok, and highlight our ongoing clean-tech collaboration with LG.
If your brand is seeking ways to combine aesthetic excellence with environmental responsibility, this issue is for you.
The Carbon-Neutral Beauty Movement: Can the industry walk the talk?
Hinok x REVATION: A tactile paper package with brand soul
LG Collaboration: Scaling clean-tech innovation with REVATION
Carbon-Neutral Beauty: A Buzzword or a Real Shift?
From Estée Lauder to indie brands like Ethique, the world’s top beauty companies are setting aggressive goals for net-zero emissions. As consumers demand more sustainable products, the carbon-neutral movement is reshaping how beauty products are made, packaged, and delivered.
🌿 The beauty sector produces 120 billion units of plastic packaging annually 🌿 Switching to refillable formats could cut carbon emissions by up to 70% 🌿 Leading by example:
Estée Lauder: Achieved net-zero by transitioning to 100% renewable energy
Ethique: Carbon-negative through plastic-free bar formats
Tropic Skincare: Double offsetting via Amazon reforestation
Highr Collective: Launched the world’s first carbon-neutral lipstick
Carbon-neutral beauty is no longer a niche—it’s fast becoming an expectation.
Hinok x REVATION: A Fragrant, Clean Lifestyle—Now in Paper
REVATION partnered with nature-inspired wellness brand hinok to create a signature paper-mold package for their “The Spray Set”. The design features a top-cover and bottom-tray structure that provides intuitive assembly and secure protection.
Made from recycled box pulp via semi-dry paper-mold technology, the packaging reflects hinok’s philosophy through natural textures and sculptural form. It's a true combination of sustainability and brand storytelling.
✔️ Custom form reflecting brand identity ✔️ Intuitive, protective structure ✔️ Fully recyclable and renewable materials
This project demonstrates how eco-packaging can deliver both tactile elegance and environmental value.
