Save Face, Reduce Waste
Eight refillable beauty products that’ll give you a guilt-free glow this summer.
It’s officially Plastic Free July, the time of year when activists call on concerned citizens to check their addiction to single-use plastic. And while we here at SHROOMBOOM are obviously quite fond of mushrooms, we’re also making it our mission to highlight products that promote a more circular, or waste-free, economy. Plastic is, for obvious reasons, not a part of that picture.
While many aspects of modern life revolve around the convenience of single-use plastics, one area of the home tends to be particularly overrun: the bathroom. Beauty and other toiletry products aren't usually the most planet-friendly, especially with respect to their packaging. But some players in the space are pioneering a more sustainable future through the use of refillable tubes, bottles, and other containers that will not only help save the planet but will also look great on your bathroom shelves. Shop our favorite refillable beauty products below to save face and reduce waste this summer.
