Melixir, a vegan and microbiome-friendly skincare brand in South Korea, has attained B-Corporation (B-Corp) certification, joining the ranks of leading companies recognized for their exceptional social and environmental impact.
 
The certification recognizes positive social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. Melixir’s dedication to sustainability, primarily their recycling campaign called “me:cycle,” were pivotal in attaining the certification. With the me:cycle initiative, Melixir has effectively reduced over 200 kg of CO2 emissions each year by collecting and recycling their customers’ used and emptied product bottles, solidifying their strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
 
Facilitated by B Lab, Melixir underwent a rigorous and extensive review of its total environmental and social impact and was assessed across five pillars:
 

• Governance
• Workers
• Community
• Environment
• Customers

 
Hana Lee, the CEO of Melixir, expressed the company’s motivation for pursuing B-Corp certification, stating, “We sought B-Corp certification to officially communicate our company’s social values, achieve our corporate social responsibility (CSR) objectives. Our success in the evaluation process highlights our positive impact on the local community and our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”
 
Looking ahead, Melixir says it remains dedicated to strengthening its global presence through sustained international expansion and fostering the development of female leaders within the organization.
