- We rounded up the best refillable beauty products to help you live a more sustainable lifestyle.
As a beauty editor who gets handfuls of packages and products sent to my home almost every day, I frequently find myself thinking about the kinds of items I receive and the amount of waste they produce. I’m the first person to admit that even I could take better measures when it comes to embracing a “greener” lifestyle. The truth is that living in a truly sustainable, eco-friendly way isn’t the easiest thing (especially not in the beauty industry). However, in the last year, there have been a ton of brands that have made an effort to change that.
One way brands have been making a change is by producing high-quality products that come in recyclable packaging or refillable materials that help consumers produce less waste.
Sustainable beauty is a much-needed, growing movement with companies like Fenty Skin, Living Proof, and Tata Harper adding to the fold with products that are easy to recycle and free of single-use plastic. While there’s much more that needs to be done in this regard, we’d like to think of the products ahead are a good place to start. Whether you’re looking for makeup, body cleanser, or even deodorant that can be refilled, we’ve got you covered. Read ahead to check out some of our favorite refillable beauty products that you can feel good about using (and reusing).
