Sourcing
All ingredients are 100% traceable and unadulterated. Medera aims to manufacture products with ingredients and supplies from Australia. However, some herbs are not grown locally or are not grown to organic standards. Therefore, Medera sometimes uses herbs of non-Australian origin. Medera is 100% transparent about the sourcing of each and every ingredient in each and every product.
Matricaria recutita (chamomile) is grown in VIC and NSW, Australia and is Australian certified organic.
Salvia officinalis (sage) is grown in VIC and NSW, Australia and is Australian certified organic.
Viola odorata (violet leaves) are wildcrafted in Serbia.
Rosa x hybrida (red rose petals) is grown in VIC and NSW, Australia and is Australian certified organic.
Medera's biophotonic glass jars are made in Switzerland and are sourced from Australian suppliers.
One of the beautiful things about shopping for botanical products at Medera is that you can do a beautiful thing for the world and the environment.
Medera's product comes to you with absolutely zero plastic. Every last detail of Medera's packaging is plastic-free:
- Biophotonic glass jars
- Compostable bubble mailers
- Cardboard shipping boxes
- Greenwrap or biodegradable bubble wrap
- Compostable sticky tape
Medera makes a huge effort to purchase from suppliers that also boycott plastic so that Medera doesn't produce a lot of waste making products for its customers.
Medera chose biophotonic glass jars for its packaging because of its unique ability to block UV light. UV light degrades compounds in botanical materials, especially aromatic ones. Oils are also prone to rancidity after exposure to UV light. Biophotonic glass jars mean that your jar of tea or body oil can sit right on the bench without being compromised by light (such as what happens with amber bottles). They should be reused when you've finished indulging in their insides because they're high quality glassware.
All compostable packaging products can be composted at home. Simply use them the exact same way you would compost your green waste, and they will break down into organic biomass. The Greenwrap can be recycled like any other cardboard.
We think about every step in the manufacture process and try to innovate a new way of doing things at every step of the way. We know that every part of the manufacture process has a footprint including transport, packaging and delivery. We aim to reduce that footprint in every way possible — and we're always excited to tell you how we did it.
