Ethical Practices

Sustainable Practices
Synthesis Organics uses post-consumer recycled glass, biophotonic glass and 100% post-consumer recycled plastic for packaging, with outer canisters made from upcycled seaweed and biodegradable, recycled outer packaging. Labels are made from 100% sugarcane and printed with vegetable inks. A closed-loop recycling programme is available across the full range. Carbon emissions from every shipment are fully offset. The brand also operates from a regenerative eco-factory that supports local biodiversity and incorporates biodynamically grown ingredients.
Social Impact
Synthesis Organics partners with i=Change, enabling customers to direct a portion of each purchase to high-integrity charitable initiatives, supporting projects that empower communities and protect the planet. The brand supports the Jane Goodall Foundation, Rainforest Rescue, Bush Heritage Australia and the Women’s Entrepreneurship Foundation. Customers who forgo outer packaging have a tree planted in their name and the brand champions Indigenous and local ingredient sourcing to invest in communities and biodiversity protection.
Product Reviews by Experts
This cleanser is so refreshing and I love the silky gel texture that gives a nice lather, but no foam so it doesn’t strip skin. I felt really clean but it didn’t leave my skin tight, just feeling fresh and clean. I love the addition of enzymes as they are a little more gentle than acids and this cleanser didn’t irritate my sometimes sensitive skin and can be used every day without any issue. I also love that the first ingredient is aloe and not water – it really does feel so lovely and nourishing. I love how considered Synthesis is from ingredient sourcing, organic certification and the detail of the packaging. The glass bottles, canisters and labels have all been thought out so considerably and you can see the brand really cares. You can also feel the quality of the ingredients when you use the product. The use of natural ingredients over synthetic ones, but without compromising on results is really evident in the formula.
This exceptional cleanser is beautifully packaged in a sleek white glass pump bottle. The green-tinted, lime-scented gel glides effortlessly over the skin, removing makeup and sunscreen with ease while leaving my complexion feeling refreshed! The uplifting citrus aroma makes every cleanse an absolute pleasure. Made with 95% organic ingredients, including papaya enzymes, native finger lime and spirulina, it’s a gentle yet effective cleanser that I plan to keep in my morning routine! What stands out most is the brand’s willingness to invest time, resources, and effort into doing what they believe is right. The move to fully palm-free surfactants following extensive research demonstrates a thoughtful and uncompromising approach to environmental responsibility.
This is so much more than a cleanser! I not only love how the Renew Enzyme Cleanser thoroughly cleans my skin, but how the papaya enzymes exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and reveal a smooth, fresh and glowing complexion. I have previously found some natural AHAs to be too aggressive on the skin so I was a little sceptical, but have been proven wrong by how gentle and nourishing the Synthesis Organics formula is. I am really impressed by their commitment to giving back, in particular that if a customer forgoes outer packaging, they get a tree planted in their name, which is genius! The other organisations they support are ones close to my heart so I deeply appreciate their contributions and commitment to protecting Mother Earth and this beautiful planet we call home.
