Their dream was to help hairdressers globally achieve success and provide salon-quality products at an affordable price. Since their launch 40 years ago, they have become professional haircare visionaries and pioneers with the products they make, the people they serve and the planet they strive to protect. Paul Mitchell has become one of the most recognised and respected haircare brands in the world. Sustainability has always been their priority and today, they are committed to making their company operations cleaner and greener to preserve the beauty of the world around us. Decreasing the use of virgin plastic, reducing carbon footprint and so much more.

This isn’t where their activism ends. When you buy from Paul Mitchell, you’ll be supporting a brand that believes in giving back to the world. With a culture of unity, Paul Mitchell has collaborated with several prolific charities over the years and has donated millions to philanthropic causes from environmental protection to human rights.

Paul Mitchell takes pride in being an eco-friendly and sustainable beauty brand that your business will be proud to use. Their green promise is to reduce virgin plastic, sustainable and ethical sourcing, reduce carbon footprint and minimize waste to landfill.
Paul Mitchell has committed to reducing virgin plastic by transitioning its packaging to post-consumer recycled plastic starting with the Tea Tree and Paul Mitchell lines by 2025. This will reduce their use of virgin, petroleum-based plastic by an estimated 773 tons annually. Reusing existing plastic instead of creating new will have significant environmental benefits for the planet such as, reducing fossil fuel use by 41%, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 1162 metric tons of CO2 and reducing water use by 156 million gallons. The Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty eco-friendly haircare line is made with bio-plastic packaging that is derived from sustainable, harvested Brazilian sugarcane and 100% recyclable. This range also features a low-profile cap that uses 46% less plastic than a standard lid.
In 1980, Paul Mitchell became the first professional beauty company to publicly oppose animal testing. Now, 40 years later, that pledge remains a driving force in everything they do. In addition to being cruelty-free, most of their care, colour and styling products are vegan. With a commitment to making 10 out of the 12 product lines 100% vegan by 2023. In 1983, their co-founders established a self-sustaining solar-powered, organic awapuhi farm in Hawaii – all the awapuhi used in their products is still harvested there today.
Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty products are manufactured with 100% certified clean energy from renewable sources produced by hydroelectric power plants. Clean energy helps reduce pollution and greenhouse gases. Their global distribution HQ in California is solar-powered which provides 90% of the energy needed to run the building during working hours, keeping 337 metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere annually. To add to this, Tea Tree has made a commitment to plant one million trees by the end of 2022 in places where reforestation is needed the most. By doing this, 150,000 metric tons of CO2 will be removed from the atmosphere during their lifetime.
Paul Mitchell is proud to partner with Homeboy Industries to responsibly recycle 100% of hair tools returned to JPMS, keeping 5.6 tons of old tools out of landfills each year. They also offer select Perks Program salons a free membership to Green Cycle Salons, an organisation that provides sustainable waste management by sending daily by-products like hair colour, used foils and hair clipping for eco-friendly recycling. By doing this salons can prevent up to 95% of beauty waste from ending up in a landfill. On top of this, all Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Colour tubes are made with up to 45% recycled aluminium and are 100% recyclable.
“Our goal has always been to provide hairdressers with the best products
and education, and we’re constantly finding new ways to achieve it.”
—John Paul DeJoria
