Does it also start to make you dizzy when you think about the amount of products you use in the bathroom? Then you will be happy with these zero waste alternatives. These are not only kinder to the planet, they also save you a lot of trips to the drugstore.
There are quite a few bathroom rituals that come up very often. Shaving, removing makeup and washing your hair, for example. Not to mention having to deal with tampons or sanitary pads. All nice and nice, but if you're standing at the drugstore for the umpteenth time with a basket full of disposable products, it's good to know that there are sustainable alternatives for many of these toiletries.
Bamboozy zero waste menstrual cup
On average, a woman throws away 11,000 sanitary towels and tampons in her lifetime. That is quite a lot, even though menstruating people have every right to do so. Precisely because the monthly party, er, returns every month, it is worthwhile to delve into a reusable product. Such as a menstrual cup made of medical silicone, which not only counteracts odors but also reduces the chance of infections. Sustainable, and it saves your monthly menstrual expenses.
Bambooya reusable makeup remover pads
Another product that does not seem to be dragging on:cotton pads. Fortunately, there are also variants of 100% organic bamboo and cotton fibers that you can simply wash in the washing machine.
Many cosmetics contain microplastics, and this is not always clearly indicated on the packaging. This shampoo bar is completely organic, contains no parabens, sulfates, artificial fragrances or dyes, mineral or palm oils. Simply use as you would a hand soap, but without the polluting ingredients.
Oceonics stainless steel razor
Disposable blades belong to the residual waste and cannot be recycled. A stainless steel razor that lasts a lifetime is therefore a more sustainable alternative. Especially if the refill blades are also packaged and shipped with zero waste.
Beewise toothpaste tablets
Toothpaste often comes in plastic packaging and may contain microplastics. That's why you now have it in a plastic and cruelty-free tablet version:just chew, brush, rinse and you have a fresh and more sustainable mouth.
