Sustainable Packaging
Through Conscious Beauty at Ulta Beauty®, we're recognizing brands that are making efforts to improve packaging sustainability. To qualify, at least 50% of a brand’s total packaging, by weight, sold at Ulta Beauty must be recyclable, refillable or made from recycled or bio-sourced materials.*
The Beauty Dropoff
We’re partnering with Pact Collective, a nonprofit working to help end packaging waste by collecting hard-to-recycle beauty empties to help less end up in landfills. The Beauty Dropoff™ is available at all Ulta Beauty locations.
