As far as packaging, Donna wanted to create packaging that was reusable. She’s always disliked buying beautiful products to then end up throwing away the packaging. She felt it was disrespectful not only to the designer of the packaging but also to the environment, especially when most packaging is non-biodegradable. This is why DOMA created the cork box for the first Longevyouth Cream purchase, which can be kept for other uses. For repeat purchases, the Longevyouth Cream can be purchased either with the cork box or on its own with a discount for customers.
Cork is harvested from the Cork Oak Tree. DOMA’s cork boxes come from Portugal where the Cork Tree is the national tree and is protected by law. Producing and harvesting cork requires no tree to be cut down - once the layer of cork is stripped, the tree will be left to grow its bark back, untouched for another 9 years. Each tree lives up to 200 years.
Products designed with our planet in mind.
DOMA’s goal was to achieve a high-performance product, which provides real results but does not cause harm to the environment; founder Donna Maneva consciously picked each natural and organic ingredient with that in mind.
DOMA can proudly say the ingredients are completely natural and organic and pose no threat to the water supply or aquatic life. DOMA also respects the intergenerational equity of the ingredients sourced.
SUSTAINABILITY
Cork trees are grown in their natural environment. They need to live 25-30 years before being harvested for first time. Cork landscapes are some of the most important eco systems in the world because of the impact on other plants and animals and sustain a rich mix of biodiversity. Cork oak forests are a big carbon dioxide store. Cork harvesting is the most sustainable and environmentally friendly type of forestry. It is carried out entirely by the skilled hands of local workers rather than machines.
Donna says:
“As this critical moment in the Earth's changing balance, environmental awareness is not so much a choice as a reality. Choosing cork material for my packaging is a vote to live a sustainable life, in harmony with nature.”
DOMA is proud to work with DIRT – Foundation for the Regeneration of Earth, an environmental charity founded by model, environmentalist and sustainability consultant Arizona Muse by donating 1% of the profits of each purchase towards DIRT’s work with regenerating soil through supporting the Biodynamic Farming Movement.
