Nature must be respected, and it is important to do so starting with small things.
In this article, we help you choose products with minimal and sustainable packaging.
Living zero waste is a small step to help our planet: it means adopting a lifestyle that aims to minimize waste production and the associated environmental impact.
The goal is to avoid the generation of non-recyclable or compostable waste, trying to reuse and recycle everything possible. In fact, the cosmetics industry is unfortunately the first user of plastic bottles, and it is its responsibility to find alternative ways: the solution must be comfortable and affordable.
Although it can be difficult to achieve absolute zero waste, adopting zero waste practices can still lead to a significant reduction in waste produced and promote greater environmental awareness.
As difficult as it may seem to you to think of modifying your life to be more sustainable, especially when it comes to skin and beauty, it really is not so.

Pollutants are often aggressive and consequently can also damage the skin in the long run, so you should pick products for your skincare routine as ecological and natural as possible.
The advice is to make these changes gradually, as you run out of products.
We have analyzed for you some more or less eco-sustainable products, and we have decided to propose some simple changes that you can make to create a more ecological beauty routine.
In fact, there are many reusable alternatives available that allow us to help the planet we live on. Not only will this save you money in the long run, but it will also do its part to save the planet, and you'll never have to worry about running out!

Pick products that are sustainable both for the environment but also for your health.
Fortunately, in recent years it has become increasingly easy to buy a product and understand if it has been created sustainably, if it is easily recyclable or refillable.
The first and most important element to consider is undoubtedly the packaging. In fact, products with packaging made with recycled and recyclable materials are preferable, even better if compostable.
Also interesting are the refillable products as well as the skin care products in solid version.
From an environmental point of view, solid cosmetics are very advantageous because:
The formulas with the passage of time become more and more performing and solid products have nothing to envy to their liquid counterparts.
Next to solid cosmetics, another valid alternative you have are powdered cosmetics to be rehydrated: these are powder cosmetics to which adding only water become bath showers, shampoos, and soaps.
Powdered cosmetics also do not need plastic packaging. Formulations are also critical when choosing products.
Products that see natural ingredients in their formulation are to be preferred. The ideal would be to opt for products with 100% or at least 90% natural ingredients.
If it comes to ingredients, at least in part, also deriving from organic farming would be the best solution.
If you really can't give up your face masks, don't worry, there are also many biodegradable products!
Face masks can be made of completely biodegradable materials, such as cotton or vegetable cellulose. These are disposable masks whose fabric is usually soaked in a serum with a high concentration of active ingredients.
Whether they are solid cosmetics or cosmetics contained in bottles made of alternative materials, we are all called to do our part, and you are ready to decide your path?
To help you, here are some options to maintain your skincare routine eco-friendly:
Our planet really needs a U-turn and concrete help, why not start from the skincare.
