Zero Waste Bathroom: all the accessories to help you get started!
As ecology is increasingly at the heart of concerns, Zero Waste is making its way into our bathrooms: many cosmetic brands are rethinking their formulations and packaging in this direction. However, to get started, it is not always easy to start with a change in care or routines: for this reason, we will discuss here several bathroom accessories, easy to adopt for a smooth transition towards greater respect for the environment (and savings).
The safety razor and the shaving brush
Unisex , the Bambaw safety razor can serve you for a decade by occasionally replacing the double-edged blade . Although its use differs slightly from that of a classic razor, the gesture is quickly integrated . The best part? It significantly reduces the risk of ingrown hairs . It can be used with both soap and shaving cream, products whose application will be facilitated by the adoption of a badger : the one from Wild Sage & Co has a superb ash handle and synthetic bristles.
The reusable cotton swab
The LastSwab brand has developed ultra-practical reusable cotton swabs . Presented in small, easy-to-carry boxes , they come in two versions: the "classic" and the " beauty ". In the second case, the shape of the TPE head is adapted to offer greater precision and allow you to effectively erase traces of makeup. Washable and resolutely hygienic , each LastSwab cotton swab replaces up to 1000 traditional cotton swabs.
Makeup remover squares
Makeup remover pads are a classic of Zero Waste beauty : they are very easy to integrate into your daily routine and replace a large number of disposable cotton pads. Their soft and skin-friendly material is gaining new fans every day. However, if you feel the need for a "trial period", Les Tendances d'Emma offers in addition to its classic pack a test kit of three washable pads ... Time to convince you!
The soap dish, the bag and the soap box
Have you recently switched to solid soap and want to use it at home and when traveling in the best conditions? There is a soap dish that is as cute as it is practical: the one designed by the Anaé brand. Made of 100% loofah and therefore biodegradable, it absorbs excess water to keep your solid care products dry. As for transport, two options are available to you : the bag , like the biodegradable one from Hydrophil, or the metal box (from Hydrophil or Wild Sage & Co ).
Bamboo toothbrush and biodegradable dental floss
Bamboo toothbrushes are a sustainable and equally effective alternative to plastic ones . Bambaw even offers some with bristles enhanced with activated charcoal for natural whitening; those of Hydrophil brushes are obtained from castor oil. In any case, their handle is 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Each brand has even thought of integrating distinctive signs to avoid confusion between family members! Like a classic toothbrush, you will only need to change it approximately every season.
