Our Environmental Sustainabilty

Thoughtful craftsmanship. Responsible choices. A lasting commitment to our planet.

At Aurelia Oterra, we believe that creating beautiful everyday essentials should never come at the expense of the environment.

As a small, woman-owned and veteran-owned bath and body company founded in Maine, we are committed to building a business where quality, sustainability, and responsible manufacturing exist in harmony.

Our approach is simple: make thoughtful choices today while building toward a more sustainable tomorrow.

Packaging With Purpose

We believe packaging should protect the product without creating unnecessary waste.

Our goal is to prioritize biodegradable, recyclable, and plastic-free packaging wherever practical, selecting materials that complement our products while reducing our environmental footprint.

We believe true luxury is found in thoughtful details, not excessive packaging.

Reducing Waste Through Creativity

Responsible manufacturing means finding value in materials that might otherwise be discarded.

As part of our developing community soap initiative, we plan to repurpose usable soap scraps from our production process into confetti soap bars.

Rather than selling these reclaimed bars, our intention is to donate them to shelters and community organizations serving individuals and families experiencing hardship.

This initiative brings together two values at the heart of Aurelia Oterra: environmental responsibility and community care.

Thoughtful Ingredients and Production

We approach product development with an emphasis on quality, simplicity, and intentional ingredient selection.

We favor thoughtful formulations and strive to avoid unnecessary decorative additives, including glitter and other materials that do not contribute to the purpose of our products.

As our product collections expand, we will continue evaluating our ingredients, packaging, and manufacturing practices to identify opportunities for improvement.

Our Vision for Sustainable Manufacturing

Our long-term vision is to develop a network of smaller, environmentally responsible manufacturing campuses across the United States.

We envision facilities designed to work in greater harmony with their surroundings, incorporating:

• Renewable energy generation and energy-efficient operations.

• Rainwater harvesting and responsible water management.

• Preservation of existing woodlands and natural habitats.

• Walking trails, gardens, and welcoming outdoor spaces.

• Thoughtfully designed production facilities that emphasize natural light and efficient resource use.

These are future goals that will guide our growth and investment decisions as Aurelia Oterra develops.

A Commitment That Grows With Us

We recognize that sustainability is an ongoing responsibility, not a destination.

As a young company, we are still developing our processes and exploring ways to improve. We believe in being transparent about our progress, honest about our limitations, and intentional about the decisions we make.

Our ambition is to demonstrate that beautiful products, responsible manufacturing, ethical employment, and environmental stewardship can coexist.

Because what we leave behind matters just as much as what we create.
