KINeSYS was founded on the principles of the Three R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle. Our bottles are 100% recyclable High Density Polyethylene (Bisphenol-A free). We shun excess packaging whenever possible and when necessary we use cardboard that is a minimum of 40% post-consumer recycled board. We do not use ingredients that accumulate in the body or the environment and print using vegetable-based inks when available. We source locally as much as possible to reduce fuel use. We love our planet and for that reason alone, we don’t test on animals. KINeSYS is proud to offer environmentally friendly, ethically manufactured sunscreen products to protect you and your entire family!
 
  Conventional self-powered spray cans can contain potentially harmful propellants and also may not be easily recyclable. The pressured container can also present special challenges when travelling by air on vacation or otherwise. KINeSYS products have always used manual, finger-powered sprayers. These non-aerosol pharmaceutical-grade sprayers disperse an ultrafine mist but result in no direct detrimental environmental effects. Like all KINeSYS components, they are also recyclable.
 
 
  KINeSYS made the commitment to purchase clean, emissions-free electricity generated by wind power to offset that used in our manufacturing process as well as our office. This sustainable power is certified by EcoLogo, North America’s oldest environmental standard. Conventional electricity production results in the release of massive amounts of carbon dioxide, a leading cause of climate change. Renewable power generation allows us to make a choice to fight climate change when purchasing the products we use everyday.
 
 
  Why B-Corp?
B-Corporation KINeSYS Inc. is proud to be a Certified B-Corporation, joining over 285  leading companies that are changing what it means to be a successful business.

What is a B-Corporation?
B-Corporations are a new kind of company which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.

Why do B-Corps Matter?
Unlike traditional businesses, B-Corporations meet high accountability and performance standards.

Collectively, the B-Corp community helps address two systemic business issues:
- The absence of transparent standards which makes it difficult for all of us to tell the difference between a 'good company' and just good marketing; and
- The existence of shareholder primacy which makes it difficult for corporations to take employee, community, and environmental interests into consideration when making decisions.

Why did we become a B-Corporation?

The values advanced by B-Lab and B-Corporations are ones that are important to us and also to our stakeholders. By becoming a B-Corporation, we are better able to broadcast our commitment to those values and hopefully set an example of social and environmental responsibility in our community.

What did we have to do to become a B-Corporation?
Two things: 1) achieve a passing score on the B-Ratings System, a comprehensive tool to assess a company's social and environmental performance; and 2) agree to legally expand its corporate responsibilities to include consideration of the interests of its employees, suppliers, consumers, community, and environment.

What are the benefits of becoming a B-Corporation for us?
By becoming a B-Corporation, KINeSYS Inc.
- Differentiates itself from others who only pay lip service to being a "good company"
- Ensures that the mission and values of the company remain as it grows and scales
- Influences the business sector beyond our enterprise.
