Olive wants to make online shopping more convenient, efficient and sustainable and it does so by consolidating orders from multiple retailers into a single delivery. The first-of-its-kind shopping site recently launched its beauty category, making it possible for consumers to place purchases from brands like Supergoop!, RMS Beauty and Glow Recipe.
Deliveries from Olive arrive in reusable boxes that feature QR codes that can be scanned to schedule a pickup at no cost. The beauty tote boasts a simple and secure design with a tamper-resistant lock, a recycled shell and an antimicrobial finish. The cardboard-free containers mean that there are no packaging materials to throw out or recycle, and the brand also developed an inflatable, reusable bubble to protect delicate types of packaging within the tote.
