Hark & Zander embraces numerous ethical practices and is dedicated to continuous improvement in this area. The brand is working towards B-Corp certification, which includes policies against child and forced labor. Their formulas are made in a local laboratory in Auckland, New Zealand and they source some recyclable packaging from China while also supporting New Zealand businesses for other packaging needs. Additionally, their products are vegan and cruelty-free.
Hark & Zander is transitioning from individual use cardboard boxes to reusable packaging, such as linen drawstring bags, to reduce waste. They prioritise using glass, aluminum and cardboard over plastic whenever possible, ensuring that any plastic used is recyclable. Additionally, they source natural fiber labels, pack products in brown, recyclable shipping boxes and use 100% recyclable or home compostable bags. Hark & Zander also utilises organically grown Hempseed oil, which benefits both people and the planet by promoting soil regeneration and requiring minimal water compared to other crops. They also incorporate upcycled ingredients to minimise waste.

I love the way my skin feels after applying this serum: smoother, calmer and happier! It’s also great that they’re working towards B-Corp status and are working towards more sustainable practices. I love that it’s locally made!

I really loved the scent – I can’t even specifically say what it smells of, but it’s fresh and feminine and earthy all at once. Your ‘social responsibility’ partnerships are extensive and you seem to be very proud of the work you’re doing in this space – so awesome!

Hark Zander’s bright white MiracleFirm Smoothing Serum carries a creamy, light feel. It is quick to absorb with a lemony- eucalyptus scent. It glides on easily and is easy to layer with other products. Packaging is minimal but still looks expensive. Hark Zander is obviously putting a lot of thought and care into their social and environmental responsibility – by pursuing B Corp certification and especially by stepping up to challenge the narrative around single-use cardboard packaging, by offering ‘naked’ glass bottles with a drawstring bag.
