FAQs
Why was Eco Style Project created and what is the purpose of the brand?
Eco Style Project was the second brand to be born under the Ethical Brand Co umbrella. The owners of this company, Luke and Julia Charters, successfully established EverEscents Organic Hair Care more than a decade prior to the launch of Eco Style Project. A demand had grown for a small, core group of products that would provide high performance yet be free from harmful and unnecessary ingredients. The EverEscents range offered some hairsprays and waxes, but due to the requirement for these products to remain Certified Organic, another brand was to be created to deliver this high-performance (but exceptionally clean) factor.
The purpose of Eco Style Project is to inspire and encourage everyday people to embrace their own creativity and style (hence the name Eco Style Project). This brand is for absolutely everyone – all genders, all ages, all personalities. We want hair to be fun.

Does Eco Style Project test on animals?
We are against the testing of cosmetic products and ingredients on animals. We do not and will never test our products or ingredients on animals. To show our commitment we have obtained official accreditation from Choose Cruelty Free Australia.
Is Eco Style Project Vegan Friendly?
Eco Style Project is a Vegan Friendly certified brand with all Eco Style Project products complying to Vegan requirements and certified by Safe Cosmetics Australia. Ingredients lists are clearly explained on the packaging of all Eco Style Project products and stated on both the Eco Style Project and Ethical Brand Co websites.
Are your ingredients locally sourced and products locally made?
Our Eco Style Project products are manufactured in an amazing factory here in Australia. We source the Eco Style Project ingredients from Australian supplies wherever possible and the sugar cane used to fuel our aerosols is actually grown at a beautiful farm in Bundaberg, Queensland. We are very proud to be a Certified Australian Made and Owned company and support all Australian businesses too.
Can you recycle or reuse the Eco Style Project packaging?
- Each state / country may have their own recycling laws and practices. If you would like to take that extra step before recycling our aerosol cans, you could remove the nozzle. Please note that removing the nozzle is not essential.
Does the Dry Shampoo Texture Spray leave any white residue?
Absolutely not. White residue is a big problem with some Dry Shampoo Texture Sprays due to a cheap, nasty ingredient called Talc. There is nothing worse than using a Dry Shampoo Texture Spray and having to worry about white powdery roots or white marks lingering on your clothes. The Eco Style Project Dry Shampoo Texture Spray will not leave any white residue what so ever. This is because we use Organic Tapioca Starch as our absorbant rather than Talc. Better for your hair, better for your health, and looks better too!
Are your products safe to use on kids?
All Eco Style Project products are pregnancy safe. Some mummas are hesitant to use aerosols, particuarly hairsprays when they are pregnant; but Eco Style Project products are very safe, unique and nothing to be worried about during pregnancy.
