Plastic free mission
My Plastic free mission when creating the Make your own Body Butter & Lip Balm kit in 2017 was to make it as ethical as possible and to help you cut down on 1-use plastic packaging.
The kraft Cardboard Box: you can reuse it for e.g. store jewellery, hair accessories, craft accessories or Aromatherapy oils
The aluminium tins: you can reuse them when you make a new batch of Lip Balms & Body butters. You can also use them to decant sun lotion, aloe gel, after sun when going on holiday.
Bottle: the bottle is 100ml so you can reuse it for lotions to put into hand luggage/handbag to meet airport restrictions of the size of liquid bottles.
Tissue paper: you can reuse it for wrapping presents.
Making your own skincare helps with going plastic-free
By learning to make your own natural skincare, you are cutting down on purchasing one-use plastic skincare containers and bottles. By following the Recipe Cards and video tutorials, you will see how easy it is to make your own natural skincare in your kitchen. You can reuse the aluminium jars provided in the kit over and over again for your Body Butters and Lip Balms.
Massage Balms & Vegan Body butter
In 2018, I added to the natural skincare range and now offer
Invigorating (Citrus) Massage Balm
I use aluminium jars for the Massage Balms and the Body butter rather than hard plastic containers or 1-use plastic skincare jars/bottles. Once the balms and body butter have been used, the aluminium containers can be washed and reused or repurposed e.g. storing seeds to sow in the garden, storing paper clips or coins.
