Hey everyone, let's talk about something that's been on everyones mind lately—the environmental impact of those plastic bottles we use for body wash and shampoo. 🌍
It's easy to overlook, because they are so darn convenient but those seemingly harmless bottles have a significant environmental footprint. They're typically made from non-renewable fossil fuels, and their production process involves energy-intensive manufacturing and transportation, which contribute to carbon emissions and environmental degradation.
Moreover, once we're done with these bottles, they often end up in landfills or as litter in our oceans and waterways. Plastic pollution is a major global problem, with devastating effects on marine life, ecosystems, and human health.
So, what can we do about it?
Firstly we suggest choosing products with eco-friendly certifications or sustainably sourced ingredients. We offer products that are not only good for us but also for the planet. Our cold process soaps shampoo bars and conditioner bars all have 100% compostable packaging🌱
You could shop only for biodegradable materials or refillable containers this is a step in the right direction. Biodegradable materials break down more easily in the environment, reducing long-term harm, while refillable containers help minimise single-use plastic waste. ♻️
Additionally, making small changes in our daily habits can make a big difference. For example, using less product per shower or opting for our solid bars instead of liquid formulations can reduce our overall consumption and waste. 🚿
It's also important to advocate for change on a larger scale. Governments, businesses, and organisations play a crucial role in implementing policies and practices that promote sustainability and reduce plastic waste. By supporting initiatives that prioritise environmental conservation, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come. 🌿
Educating ourselves and others about the environmental impact of our choices is key. By raising awareness and encouraging positive action, we can work together to minimise our ecological footprint and protect our planet's natural resources.
In conclusion, while the issue of plastic pollution may seem daunting, every action we take, no matter how small, contributes to positive change. Let's continue to rethink our showers, make conscious choices, and strive for a cleaner, healthier planet. 🌎

There are many things you can do to help reduce waste in your home on of these ways is using one of our soap bags to pop your cold process soap in. These bags help with good lather, exfoliation and the longevity of your soap. They're also great for popping all the little ends of soap into once they're getting too small to hold onto. They last years and are compostable once they do break down!
