How to use a sunscreen. Advice from Dermatest Australia (leading authority and testing agency)
It is essential to use sunscreen correctly to achieve protection.
• Apply sunscreen liberally to all sun-exposed areas so that it forms a film when initially applied. Most people do not use enough. It takes at least six teaspoons of lotion to cover the sun-exposed areas of the body of one average adult person.
• It takes 20–30 minutes for sunscreen to be absorbed by the skin and it can easily be rubbed off, so apply it at least half an hour before going out in the sun.
• Reapply after half an hour so that the ‘mountains’, as well as the ‘valleys’, are protected (imagine you are painting a wall – two coats of paint provide a more even coverage than one).
• Re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours if staying out in the sun for more than an hour during the day.
• Re-apply immediately after swimming, excessive sweating, or if rubbed off by clothing or towelling, even if the product claims to be “water resistant”.
• Insect repellents reduce the sunscreen's SPF so when using together, use a sunscreen with a higher SPF and re-apply more often.

Keep in mind that while crucial, sunscreen alone is not enough. Seek the shade whenever possible, wear sun-safe clothing, a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses, for a complete sun protection strategy.

Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle

Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle - Recycling

As of 2021, the global cosmetics industry produces 120 billion units of packaging every year and few types are accepted by kerbside recycling programmes. Many of the design elements that enable beauty products to be so useable, such as push pumps, make them difficult to recycle. Subsequently, only 9% of plastics produced are recycled and 12% are burned into our atmosphere. All remaining plastic waste ends up in landfill or scattered through the environment.

Our goal is to refill and recycle hundreds of thousands of pieces of product waste through the Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle. The recycled plastic material will be reused for beauty material or to make outdoor products such as picnic tables, and park benches. We will keep our customers and partners update with the progress we make.

The Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle is all part of our relentless pursuit to set a new standard in the beauty industry. We’re proving that luxurious, high performing skincare doesn’t have to come at a compromise to the planet.

We’ve proudly partnered with TerraCycle® to launch the Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle Recycling Programme.

The Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle Recycling Programme is a free, incentivised rewards initiative to ensure beauty products are kept in circularity. We’re rethinking the entire process of a beauty product’s lifespan. We offer free returns, rewards and recycling for not only our own facial products but for all brands’ facial products. 

For every 4 items shipped to TerraCycle through the Beauty Circle, senders receive a $15 Emma Lewisham voucher which is redeemable on our website only. 

This recycling programme is currently available to our New Zealand and Australian customers. 

How to participate?

Within New Zealand:

The voucher cannot be redeemed in conjunction with other Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle vouchers. It is valid until 30 June 2021. The voucher cannot be redeemed for cash. Each voucher can only be used once. Emma Lewisham beauty products are not a requirement to participate in this initiative.

1. Collect a minimum of 4 empty facial skincare vessels.
These can be from any skincare brand (it doesn't have to be an Emma Lewisham product). 

2. Sign up with our recycling partner Terracycle at https://www.terracycle.com/emmalewisham-nz

3. Download and print your free shipping label from your Terracycle profile.

4. Place your empty vessels in any re-useable packaging for shipping (such as an old cardboard box)
and affix the shipping label. Then drop your package off to your local New Zealand Post

Within Australia:

The voucher cannot be redeemed in conjunction with other Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle vouchers. It is valid until 30 June 2021. The voucher cannot be redeemed for cash. Each voucher can only be used once. At least 3 Emma Lewisham empty skincare vessels are required to participate in this initiative.

1. Collect a minimum of 4 empty facial skincare vessels. 3 need to be from Emma Lewisham, one can be from any other skincare brand. 

2. Visit https://return.auspost.com.au/new_zealand_post and enter your information to get your pre-paid return shipping label, which you can use to send your empty bottle back to us. You’ll need to provide an order code, which is “EBC” + a dash + 000000 + your 4 digit Emma Lewisham order number.  An example order code would look like: EBC-0000006184.  Remember, you can get your Emma Lewisham 4 digit order number from your Emma Lewisham shipment confirmation email for the last order you made with us.

3. Print your pre-paid return shipping label (or go into a Post Office and they will do it for you).

4. Place your empty vessels in any re-useable packaging for shipping (such as an old cardboard box) and affix the pre-paid return shipping label.

You can purchase a refilled bottle that has been cleaned, sterilised, refilled and kept in circulation.  When you purchase a refillable product over a new bottle there is a quantifiable impact: 70% less CO2 emissions, 60% less energy, 45% less water (Source: LCA Centre).
