Redefining Responsible Luxury With Butterfly Mark Recertification

Our transformative skincare brand has once again earned the coveted Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark, a rigorous sustainability accreditation.

By Susie Willis

At Romilly Wilde we are not just creating transformative skincare – we're rewriting the rules of responsible luxury. Our journey with Positive Luxury, the leading sustainability and ethics mark for luxury brands, is a testament to that. In 2020, we earned the coveted Butterfly Mark, and today, we proudly announce our recertification, pushing the boundaries of impact-driven beauty even further.

"We started our ESG Agenda in January 2020 and it has been a valuable and insightful process to be re-certified by Positive Luxury. It is the level of rigour that should be expected of brands, and it demonstrates our commitment to pursuing and supporting our responsibilities to a sustainable agenda that goes beyond packaging. This level of certification is not for the faint hearted and is hard to score well for a skincare brand with so many component parts. However it shines a light on all aspects of having an impact business, that considers its partners and suppliers as well as consumers."

- Susie Willis, Romilly Wilde Founder.

Susie Willis With Quote

“We are proud to announce Romilly Wilde has been awarded the Butterfly Mark for a second time for its continued efforts to meet higher and higher standards for people and nature. Romilly Wilde uses the latest innovations in biotechnology to create ingredients identical to those found in nature, but without the negative environmental impact. From conducting a biodiversity analysis on its ingredients, maintaining a robust supplier code of conduct focusing on diversity, equality and inclusion, human rights and labour practices and ensuring sustainability is a core pillar – Romilly Wilde is leading the way to a better future through nature positive, actionable change, a blueprint we’d encourage other beauty brands to follow."
