INSIDE | OUR PRODUCTS
UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY
From the outset, our intention has been to capture the essence of summer’s finest flowers, fruits, vines, and woods. We use only the best ingredients to create exceptional fragrances.
INSPIRED BY NATURE
In collaboration with artisan perfumer Sarah Horowitz-Thran and our lab partner, Cosmo International Fragrances, we prioritize botanical ingredients. Synthetic components are used sparingly — only when necessary to protect endangered species, avoid animal-derived materials, or reduce allergens.
CERTIFIED SAFE
Every ingredient in our products — botanical or synthetic — is rigorously selected for its safety and proven non-toxicity. Our fragrances are free from harmful chemicals, including dyes, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, and triclosan. We adhere to stringent international safety standards.

CERTIFIED CRUELTY-FREE
None of our ingredients are tested on animals, nor are any derived from animal sources. We reaffirm our commitment to cruelty-free practices annually through the Leaping Bunny Program.

TRANSPARENCY IN INGREDIENTS
We believe in full transparency. You can find a complete list of ingredients for each fragrance in the product descriptions.
OUTSIDE | OUR PACKAGING
PRIMARY PACKAGING
Our perfume bottles are crafted from glass and decorated with screen-printed ink, making them fully recyclable. However, the pumps and caps are made of plastic and cannot be recycled.
SECONDARY PACKAGING
The paper cartons for our perfumes are printed with soy ink and sourced sustainably in the U.S. They are fully recyclable.

SHIPPING PACKAGING
We use sustainably sourced shipping boxes and packing materials—such as starch peanuts and crinkle shred—all made in the U.S. and fully recyclable.
At Summer Hours, we are committed to continually improving the sustainability of both our products and packaging.
