3 ways to transform your beauty routine & go green

Cotton pads aren’t something we pay much attention to when powering through our skincare routine each day. But considering that cotton is one of the most environmentally demanding fibres — producing a simple white t-shirt requires the same amount of water that one person would drink in three years — throwing away cotton pads without thinking should be enough to fuel anyone’s eco-anxiety.  Instead, opt for reusable cotton cleansing pads which you can slip into your washing load after use and have on repeat. Likewise, a natural muslin cleansing cloth will reduce your need for disposable cotton pads, or why not just use a good old-fashioned flannel? If you can’t move to entirely reusable alternatives, ensure you are buying organic cotton pads that are easily identified by the Soil Association logo.

For years we’ve known that the compressed gases in aerosols have a harmful impact on CO2 emissions. But with very few eco-friendly deodorants on the market, the alternative of ‘going naked’ has been unthinkable. Now, there are hundreds of natural deodorant brands popping up — they work by neutralizing the bacteria on your body rather than blocking sweat glands, and keep you smelling fresh with naturally-derived ingredients like mint, lemon or cedarwood. What’s more, the aluminium-free formulation of these products is reputed to be better for your body than traditional spray-on deodorants. 

Want to invite a natural deodorant into your routines? Our Deo Roll-On is formulated with a blend of natural acids that gently exfoliates the skin while neutralizing odor to keep your underarms dry and fresh throughout the day. Rather than counteracting the skin's natural defenses, our Deo Roll-On is infused with organic aloe vera and cooling cucumber to leave the skin's natural barrier protected while providing a soothing effect.
