Sustainable skin and beauty buys that do the job and then some.
No matter your new year’s resolution, I think we can all commit to making at least one or two sustainable swaps in 2022. Now, I understand it’s intimidating to break away from tried-and-tested, especially if you’ve been using the same products for years.
However, there are myriad zero-waste and plastic-free options that are just as good, if not even better, breaking onto the skincare and beauty market right now and it would be a shame to miss out. Here are the seven I’m most impressed with, including a truly transformative body wash. Yes, really.
Plus ‘Summer’ Body Wash
I’ve been using Plus’ ingenious body wash for a few months now and it’s changed the way I think about in-shower skincare. The outer packet dissolves upon contact with water and the foaming sheet transforms into a scent-perfect body wash.
A no-bottle, single-serve cleanser, I’ve popped it in my bag when I’ve gone away and frequently gifted it to family and friends. Sweet, simple and packed with skin-loving ingredients (aloe leaf, shea butter, almond oil and eucalyptus), it’s without a doubt one of my top standout products launched in 2021.
