FORMULATING A BETTER FUTURE

Future Made Better is our journey toward reducing our environmental impact and improving the
communities we serve. Working toward a healthier planet means Kiehl’s is creating more responsible formulas with
renewable ingredients and sustainable packaging, while improving the materials we use in our stores.

DOING OUR PART

More than a mission, Kiehl’s Does is responsibility in action. It’s what we’re doing now to generate less waste and reduce carbon emissions through the formula ingredients we use and the packaging materials we choose.

  • We watch our water usage in manufacturing and have reduced water waste by 78% to date.
  • The raw ingredients we source support responsible farming practices in over 600 communities worldwide
