Mystic Ginger is proud to have been selected as the 2019 Gloucester Township Sustainability Award winner. “It is an honor to be nominated and acknowledged for our sustainability efforts,” says owner Kellie D'Ascenzo. “Mystic Ginger is conscious of the brutal impact the beauty industry has had on our Earth and we are making every effort to create an awareness of how we can all strive to make beauty beautiful.”

As a Green Circle Salon member, honorable, eco-friendly practices are the very core of Mystic Ginger. The hair care brand Mystic Ginger uses, Davines, creates all of its products with a zero carbon footprint and only with renewable energy sources. Through Green Circle, Mystic Ginger utilizes a salon-wide effort of recycling and repurposing: Hair is sent to make hair mats that soak up oil spills in the ocean; excess color is recycled to extract clean water and is properly disposed of rather than ending up in our water supply; and foils, color tubes and other metals are shipped to Green Circle to be recycled rather than ending up in landfills. 

In addition, all of Mystic Ginger’s apothecary products are handcrafted utilizing wild-harvested, homegrown and organic ingredients and its product packaging is all recyclable and eco-friendly.
