Our mission at Origins is to care for skin holistically using the power of plants and science. Fusing over 30 years of Origins’ expertise in plant science and skin physiology, our scientists at the Origins Biotech Discovery Labs strive to identify the high-performing, bioactive elements of ingredients derived from nature, then use these innovative findings to create transformative skincare formulas to help support and boost skin’s natural activities and noticeably improve how skin looks and feels.

Sourcing Responsibility
We work diligently to source high-quality ingredients and materials in collaboration with a wide and diverse network of suppliers around the world, with special attention and sensitivity to the local communities. We’re committed to continuously improving how we source our ingredients, including the responsibly-sourced Reishi Mushroom featured in our Mega-Mushroom Treatment Lotion, in addition to other formulas.

Material Sustainability
We’re working hard to consciously design our packaging. For us, that means recyclable, refillable, reusable, recycled or recoverable. We’re also committed to prioritizing the use of local, low-emitting, recyclable or recycled materials in new store fixtures and visual merchandising.

Environmental Efforts
As part of our commitment to the well-being of the planet, we’ve planted and cared for over 2.3 million trees since 2009, including expanding our greening program efforts, which positively impacts local communities, to plant trees in 24 US cities and other areas around the world like Malaysia, Thailand, Israel and Germany.
