They donate a portion of their proceeds to the World Wide Fund for Nature, they're apparently the first carbon-neutral skincare brand in Australia and around 70 per cent of everything that goes into their products is certified organic.
They even wrap their samples in biodegradable plastics. Which is why you need never feel guilty about slathering on too much of Stem Organics' products.
The eco-friendly brand has been launched to much fanfare in Australia, and in Europe and the United States and it's now available at local Caci Medispas and other selected retailers. Call (09) 5242631 for more information.
