Let’s talk rubbish. Specifically, the staggering 95% of cosmetic packaging that ends up thrown away! Recycling sounds like the hero of the story, but with only 14% of beauty packaging actually making it to recycling plants, it’s clear we need a bigger, better, greener plan.
Enter Alchemy Ingredients. Sustainability is basically in our DNA—did you know over 90% of our ingredients are COSMOS-approved or certified? But we decided why stop there?! This year we set ourselves the challenge of tackling the beauty industry's packaging dilemma.
And the result? Something we’re pretty proud of.
Introducing: The BioBloom Petal Pod
The BioBloom Petal Pod is a 100% natural, algae-based bioplastic packaging innovation.
Not only does it hold our botanical-packed balm cleanser, but it’s also designed to be as gorgeous as it is practical—hence the petal design.
Here’s how it works:
- Tear Off a Petal – No mess, no fuss, just pure cleansing magic in your hands.
- Squeeze Out the Balm – Packed with botanicals, the balm gives your skin the ultimate spa moment.
- Use the Petal as an Applicator – Yup, no waste here. Even the petal is part of your skincare routine.
The Green Creds
Both the balm and the pod boast some serious eco-warrior credentials:
- 🌱 100% Natural Origin: No nasties, no compromises.
- ♻️ Zero Waste Concept: Bye-bye single-use, hello earth-friendly beauty.
- ❄️ Completely Cold Process: Low energy production means a lower carbon footprint.
- 🌍 Fully Biodegradable: Nothing to clog up the planet.
- 🎨 Multifunctional: Cleanse, apply, adore.
- 🌴 Palm Oil Free: Because we love orangutans (and biodiversity).
This little pod is proof that beauty (even the packaging) can be as kind to the earth as it is to your skin.

Behind the Scenes in the Lab
Crafting the BioBloom wasn’t just about science—it was about originality, passion, and a dash of eco-magic. We knew this cleansing pod packaging needed to work seamlessly, feel indulgent, and look stunning. After countless prototypes we think we landed on the perfect petal design.
It’s proof that sustainability doesn’t have to compromise style or function.
