Gift Card
About this
This is the way to say thank you, or I love you, or take some time for yourself. This is how you can give the gift of nature and natural self-care to someone you appreciate. This takes the confusion out of choosing what's good for them and letting them do the choosing.
About you
You love to give and you want to give something extra special. You know someone who needs a little extra self-love or who loves plants as much as you do. You couldn't think of a better way to let them know.
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.
