When it comes to looking for eco-friendly make-up removers it can be hard to tick all of the boxes – plastic-free, cruelty-free, actually works, smells nice, feels nice, plus having something non-faffy and really simple to use. In the past, I have used lotions in plastic bottles with cotton wool pads and I never liked the sensation on my face or the waste it was creating. Why do so many products feel as though they are just sitting on top of your skin?! Yes, there are now many more brands out there offering reusable make-up remover pads with their more eco-friendly products but what if you want something even simpler? Here is my solution to finding the perfect zero waste make-up remover.

Reduce Your Waste

One of the best first areas to start is by looking carefully at how you could reduce your household waste. Now, this is a very individual task so there is no right or wrong way to begin here. What I can suggest is monitoring how many bin bags are going out each week whilst making a note of what items seem to be causing the biggest waste problem. Once you highlight the waste issues you have you can set your sights on how to reduce them. For example, is there more that can be recycled either kerbside or at your local recycling points? Is there a reusable alternative? (Reusable nappies, reusable wipes, cloth sanitary pads, menstrual cup, cleaning cloths etc). Can you switch those takeaways for more meals cooked from scratch? Do you have a refill shop nearby to get all of your food packaging free? There is usually another option, it is just the case of looking past those “convenience products” and looking for more sustainable ones. And these may well surprise you in terms of price, savings over time as well as making life easier.

Wrapping paper. We’ve all used it, we’ve all binned it, we’ve all spent money on it for it to last just a few hours and yet how often have you stopped to think about the impact this tradition has on our planet?
