Eco-friendly Swaps Part 2
With just a few, small changes to your product choices, when you need to re-stock, your positive impact can be beneficial on people, planet, and you!
Opt for Zero-Waste/Almost-zero packaging
More makers are ingeniously revamping their product offering with superior packaging options or formulations to make a great product exceptional! Axiology Multisticks come in fully compostable/recyclable packaging and the product is multi-use. Meow Meow Tweet and Coconut Matter Stick Deodorants are also fully compostable, kid-friendly, and safe for your pits!
More products are being thoughtfully made to be used more than once. Bravo!
OLIXA Reusable Cotton Pads are a terrific alternative to throwaway, use-once makeup pads
NOTO’s Reusable Eye Masks have been tested to be used 100+ times and eliminate the excessive plastic packaging with its own carry container
Blue Q Shoppers and Shoulder Totes replace polluting, boring single-use plastic bags AND are made with 95% Post Consumer Waste.
Choose earth-friendly hair care
The products you put in your hair are rinsed into our waterways when you wash your hair. Make sure they're eco-friendly. Avoid ingredients like Phthalates and SLS and opt for all-natural formulas created with kindness
YAROK (meaning Green in Hebrew) formulate products with organic and wild-crafted ingredients you know and can pronounce. And a portion of all sales goes towards protecting the Amazon Rainforest
Meow Meow Tweet’s range of hair care in powder or bar soap form are water-free and multi-use
Is it reef-friendly? Chemical sunscreens can leach into the ocean and can detrimentally affect our coral reefs and sea life. Reach for a zinc-based formula instead, like {Simple as That} Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 available. Great for the face and body, it uses Zinc Oxide to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Plus, it’s super lightweight, so don't get that greasy feeling
Chamomile - great for children and sensitive skin types
Raspberry - broad spectrum for the rest of the family!
Can the chemical-laden toothpastes and go eco-friendly with Lovebyt Toothpaste. This smooth, creamy toothpaste formula is available in three delicious flavours
Peppermint oil, Eucalyptus and Tea Tree work to improve oral health and keep your pearly whites fresh and bright. Made in Australia from all-natural ingredients, it's beautifully housed in recyclable packaging, designed by Australian artist Bruce Goold. Lovebyt Toothpaste cleanses, whitens, brightens your teeth, and aids in bacteria prevention which can cause gum disease and bad breath
Ditto for your floss and mouthwash. Check out Lovebyt Botanical Dental Floss, which won’t leave realms of plastic in landfill or our oceans. It’s made from corn starch infused with peppermint and charcoal, and coated with candelilla wax. Vegan, biodegradable and non-fraying, it’s great for even sensitive gums
Complete your oral care routine with an equally eco-friendly mouthwash. Lovebyt Botanical Mouthwash uses peppermint oil and Xylitol to fight bacteria and bad breath, as well as reduce oral inflammation. An extra bonus? It’s housed in recyclable glass
