ADA Cosmetics is a pioneer of sustainable and eco-friendly Cradle to Cradle hotel amenities. We are proud to present our clients with the first and only entirely Cradle to Cradle certified Silver product portfolio.
Driven by a strong desire to be socially and environmentally responsible, the Cradle to Cradle certification reflects our efforts through an unbiased evaluation. This official recognition not only benefits our team and company image, but can also bring significant benefits to the hotels we service. By choosing ADA’s Cradle to Cradle cosmetics, our clients can also display their efforts toward social and environmental responsibility.
Material health
To maintain Material Health in our Cradle to Cradle supply chain, ADA Cosmetics responsibly sources the ingredients used in the manufacturing of cosmetic products. Environmentally harmful ingredients such as mineral oil, microplastics in the form of microbeads and ingredients such as parabens, silicone, formaldehyde donors, and isothiazolinones are conscientiously replaced by suitable alternatives, such as responsibly sourced palm oil.
A large majority of our ingredients are naturally sourced. We never use GMOs in our products or perform animal testing. Furthermore, most formulas are vegan and pH-skin-neutral.
Product Circularity
ADA Cosmetics features an eco-design for both the product and the packaging. The Cradle to Cradle recycling principle is applied to every aspect of the lifecycle of a product, from manufacturing to disposal. To reduce waste and enhance recyclability, RecyClass guidelines are implemented, along with mono-materials, PCR plastic, dispenser solutions, and lightweight packaging.
Clean Air and Climate Protection
At ADA Cosmetics, we care about our environmental impact in every aspect of business, from production, to transport, and finally to the disposal of our products. In an effort to reduce our CO₂ emissions, we use renewable energy, a cooling process in production, and invest in energy-efficient production technology. As a result of our commitment toward Cradle to Cradle sustainability, our sustainability management received a silver medal from EcoVadis. We are striving to consistently improve our climate protection protocols with the goal of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions down to 35% by the end of 2026.
Soil Stewardship
Soil Stewardship is upheld primarily through our environmentally conscious wastewater management system. Measures have been integrated to limit water consumption or standardize the cleaning processes for tools used in production.
Social Fairness
Human rights and fair working conditions are just as important to us as environmental protection. At ADA Cosmetics, we have implemented the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, standards of the International Labor Organization, and OECD Guidelines to improve employee working conditions. Additionally, we are collaborating with 750 companies around the world to protect forest ecosystems, and supporting other environmental protection organizations, such as the Ocean Cleanup Foundation and Clean the World, as well as engaging in local communities. Furthermore, in our operations, we use natural, plant-based raw materials and have switched from using plastic water bottles to water dispensers and steel bottles in our operations.
