As we delve into Earth Month and approach Earth Day on April 22, I'd like to briefly detour from my usual dry skin woes and recent beauty obsessions to talk about a crucial topic: sustainability.
(Don't worry, there will still be plenty of cart-worthy products on the other side.)
The beauty industry, while beautiful, has a less glamorous side.
Unfortunately, hidden behind its glossy packaging and innovative formulas lies a trail of waste, pollution and other unsavoury stuff.
Whether you consider you’re an eco-warrior or not, we can all agree this is far from ideal. And if we could reduce our environmental impact, we would – right?
Well, change is afoot.
Many brands are stepping up to embrace sustainability by using recycled, recyclable or compostable materials, sourcing ethical ingredients or improving manufacturing processes.
Slowly, but surely.
One promising trend is the emergence of refillable products.
Not only do they help reduce single-use packaging and waste, but they also often come at a more affordable price point (!!).
So if you've been looking for ways to make your beauty routine more sustainable, keep scrolling for some of the best refillable products available on Adore Beauty.
Refillable Skincare.
1. KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Moisturiser.
What: KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Moisturizer Refill Pod 50ml
KORA Organics put the ‘environment’ in environmentally friendly.
From their plant-based formulas to their sustainable harvesting practices, the Climate Neutral Certified brand’s commitment to sustainability echoes through every touchpoint.
KORA was also one of the first to offer PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled material) refill pods and is working toward replacing all existing products with sustainable packaging over the next few years.
For now, you can currently pick up refillables for their three moisturisers, including the best-selling Tumeric Glow.
Here’s everything you need to know about this radiant face cream:
Smooths and plumps the skin.
Strengthens the skin barrier for healthy function.
Boosts moisture to minimise the appearance of ageing.
Helps brighten the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation.
Contains a unique liposome that specifically targets skin tone and texture.
Energised with Citrine, a stone believed to promote self-confidence, abundance and positivity.
Adore Beauty customer Kyrajade reviewed:
“I first tried this product as a sample I got and bought the full-size product years ago and continue to repurchase it.
Love the refill pods, the product lasts a while because the formula is thick and creamy.
Keeps you hydrated all day without feeling greasy and gives you a nice glow. Doesn't break me out either.
Love love love!!!”
