Eco-friendly beauty buys:
■ Solid skincare comes in so many forms, including ones with actives you might not expect in a bar. Even one of the trickiest ingredients – retinol – has found its way into a zero-plastic form, thanks to SBTRCT Rejuvenating Night Balm, £32, with 2% granactive retinoid – a form hailed as both effective and less irritating.
Love vitamin C? SBTRCT’S got that covered, too, with its Vitamin C Booster bar, £30.
You’ll also find options from Balade en Provence, including its Solid Eye Contour Serum, £17, with rejuvenating immortelle flower extract, and its Hydration Boosting Solid Serum, £14.99, featuring hyaluronic acid.
INIKA Organic is the first make-up brand to go plastic neutral. For every kilo of plastic used, one kilo is collected and recycled. As well as using 84% less virgin plastic in the first place, it rescues waste plastic, turns it into fence posts and donates them to rural communities hit by wildfires. ■
■ Single-use cleansing wipes are an eco nightmare. A green option is the washable Face Halo Make Up Remover Pad, which can be reused up to 500 times and shifts even mascara with just water. Singles cost £7, or a Face Halo Glow kit with an exfoliator and two cleansers is £20.
