TODAY'S CONSUMER TRADE-OFF AND SUGAR SQUARED'S ROLE

We all want to be the best global citizens that we can be. However, today we are faced with a decision surrounding our consumer preferences. When faced with two products, do you choose the cheaper one, or do you spend an extra $5 on a locally-made, zero-waste product? Many of us would like to believe that we make the more socially-conscious choice and choose that more expensive but handcrafted item. However, reality and economic necessity often push us to choose the more inexpensive, less sustainable option.

We are all becoming more aware of the impact that our consumer decisions have on ourselves and on the environment. More and more people are re-thinking their buying habits and sourcing out clean alternatives. As the natural cosmetic industry continues to grow, individual consumers have more alternatives to choose from.

The at-home hair removal industry is continuing to develop as COVID-19 makes it less attractive to go into seeing an esthetician. However, many of the current at-home hair removal products are made with harsh chemicals and produce a lot of waste.

Sugar Squared is made to help you remove hair in the safest, least-painful, most-effective, and environmentally sustainable way! Each jar of Sugar Squared is handcrafted in Vancouver, BC. We use a glass container with a metal lid to ensure that our environmental footprint is limited. The product itself is 100% biodegradable and made with natural, un-processed, and clean ingredients. The label is fully compostable and made with as little water as possible. Sugar Squared is a natural and environmentally sustainable alternative to your at-home hair removal products.

Launching in January 2021, look for Sugar Squared in your community and online! You can sign up for our monthly newsletter and information about us through this link (Sugar Squared is coming soon).

Sincerely,

The Sugar Squared Team
