the ocean behind every ere perez purchase
The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the Earth and quietly supports life in ways we often forget. It helps generate around half the oxygen we breathe, absorbs a large share of global carbon dioxide emissions and captures most of the excess heat those emissions create. Its health is not a distant concern. It is connected to the air we breathe, the climate we live in and the future we share.
Ere Perez began in Bondi Beach, Sydney, in 2002, with clean beauty shaped by nature, colour and conscious living. The ocean has been part of the brand’s sense of place from the beginning, and this commitment sits within our wider For Earth & People philosophy: beauty that works with the planet, not against it.
For us, that means thoughtful formulations, fewer materials in our packaging and a direct, ongoing contribution to ocean health. Ere Perez has been certified carbon neutral by The Carbon Reduction Institute since 2016 and is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact.
