Is Passionary plant-based/vegan?

What is the shelf life of the products?
Generally, the shelf life is one year from the date of opening the products, sometimes, six months. However, even though we use antioxidants in our essential oils to preserve them, they can still lose their effectiveness or scent over time. That is why we maintain a “Use By” date that is three to six months from the date of opening the products. We want your first bathing or shower rituals to be just as enjoyable as the last.
How should I store my products?
Products should be store in a cool dark place to preserve the essential oils. Take care to make sure the storage location is dry and not humid, which causes clumping. DO NOT get water inside bathing products.

No. None of our testing is done on animals. We are Cruelty Free! In addition, we make sure that suppliers do not test on animals.

Yes, about 90% is. Our glass containers are made of recycled glass and they are recyclable. Our Eco-Luxe packaging is made to be composted. Boxes, bags, tissue paper, paper filling, tape, tags, and labels are made from post-recycled materials and is recyclable. Popcorn/peanut cushioning fillers are biodegradable. We are working on finding a suitable substitute for our caps that are plastic or metal.
For a luxury line why don’t you put products in fancy boxes?
While luxurious by quality of ingredients, we are also minimalists for ecological reasons. We do not want to add to the carbon footprint of waste any more than we have to. We would rather put costs into making quality, luxurious products rather than waste it on boxes that you’ll throw away shortly after purchasing.
