Small adjustments in the size and weight of products can lead to noticeable reductions in carbon emissions. To promote this ideal, we developed the Compact by Design initiative, which seeks to highlight products that, while their appearance might not differ drastically, boast more efficient designs.

By eliminating excess air and water from products, we minimize their packaging needs and enhance shipping efficiency. These seemingly minor modifications in product weight and size, when scaled up across a range of items, can result in substantial reductions in carbon emissions.

One exemplary product that embodies this principle is the Tarte Cheek Stain.

Product Details: Tarte Cheek Stain
- Color: Exposed - sheer nude pink
- Size: 0.5 oz / 14.2 g

This product is a vegan, water-based stick featuring a buildable cream-gel formula that applies smoothly and blends effortlessly. It provides a natural wash of color for the cheeks, making it not only an effective cosmetic choice but also one that aligns with sustainable practices.

Compact by Design is just one of the many initiatives aimed at improving product efficiency and promoting environmental consciousness. By focusing on the packaging and shipping aspects alongside product design, we can collectively make a difference in reducing our carbon footprint. Every little change counts, and when multiplied across numerous products, the potential for impact is significant.

In summary, embracing sustainability is achievable through thoughtful design choices. Whether it's a beauty product like the Tarte Cheek Stain or other items across various categories, assessing and optimizing size and weight can lead to efficient shipping, reduced packaging waste, and ultimately, a smaller environmental impact.

By choosing products that prioritize these design principles, consumers can take part in a larger movement towards sustainability, supporting both the planet and responsible manufacturing practices.
