Refillable Beauty That Goes Easy on the Earth (and Your Shelf Space)

Beauty products create a lot of plastic waste. Switching to refillables is a fairly effortless way to cut down on single-use products that might otherwise end up in landfill.

According to the British Beauty Council, 95% of cosmetic packaging thrown away. What’s more, only 9% of that waste is recycled. The rest heads directly to landfill. 

We all have the ability to make a difference. And as consumers, it’s important that we shop responsibly. While it’s not a perfect system—refillable products require significant manufacturing and of course, still have to be packaged themselves—they do help to reduce the amount of waste per product. 

Below, we’ve curated a list of some of our favourite refillable beauty products. Not only are they saving material, which helps to reduce waste, they’re usually bigger than the standard offering making them a better bang for your buck, too.
