The Compostable Copper Peptide Duo features a [serum and a cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-sips) from the brand, both of which are powered by [bio-active ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinsync) that are beneficial for reviving skin cells and boosting the production of collagen. This new skincare gift set is beautifully presented in what the brand describes as a "farm-grown compostable mycelium box." As well as being passionate about using high-quality natural ingredients and creating mindful experiences for customers, Wildsmith Skin minimizes the use of plastic in its product packaging. On top of being conscious about the ingredients in products, consumers are investing in sustainably packaged solutions that help to cut down on waste.
