Plastic shows up in more of a self-care routine than most people realize - tea bags, toothpaste tubes, deodorant, even hair ties. Most of what we carry has been plastic-free from the start, not because of a campaign or an awareness month, but because it's simply how we believe things should be made. Here's a closer look at our favorites, and what makes each one part of a genuinely plastic-free routine.

lip balms:

Packaging: 100% plastic-free, in a biodegradable paper tube

Even something as small as a lip balm tube adds up over a lifetime of use and most conventional tubes are plastic that outlives the product inside by centuries. Ours skip that entirely, packaged in a fully biodegradable paper tube so the only thing left behind is the good it did for your lips.

tallow face cream:

Packaging: Glass jar, metal lid, bamboo spatula, paper box

Our tallow face cream comes the way we'd want to receive it ourselves; in a reusable glass jar with a metal lid, a bamboo spatula for clean, sanitary application, and a paper box with no plastic anywhere in sight. Glass keeps the formula stable without leaching anything into it, and the jar is easy to reuse or recycle once you're through.

deodorant:

Packaging: Choice of biodegradable paper tube or glass jar with metal lid, bamboo spatula, and paper box

We offer deodorant in two formats, so you can pick what fits your routine best. The paper tube option is fully biodegradable and simple to toss once you're done. The jar option comes in glass with a metal lid, bamboo spatula, and paper box -  a slightly more ritual-feeling version of the same plastic-free commitment.

bar soaps:

Packaging: Paper wrapping, with wood or silicone soap savers available

Bar soap is one of the easiest plastic-free swaps to make, and ours comes wrapped simply in paper. If you want to make your bars last even longer, we also carry wood and silicone soap savers to keep them dry and intact between uses.

oral care:

Packaging: Biodegradable dental floss, metal toothpaste tins, glass mouth rinse bottles

Oral care is one of the most overlooked sources of plastic waste in a bathroom - floss picks, plastic tubes, plastic mouthwash bottles, all adding up fast. We carry biodegradable dental floss, toothpaste in metal tins instead of plastic tubes, and mouth rinse in glass bottles, so your whole oral care routine can be plastic-free without any compromise.

hair care:

Packaging & Materials: Bamboo hairbrushes, cotton and natural rubber hair ties

Even the tools in your hair routine can be part of this. Our bamboo hairbrushes replace plastic-handled versions entirely, and our hair ties are made from cotton and natural rubber instead of the synthetic elastic found in most ties, gentle on hair, and gentle on the planet when they eventually wear out.

loose teas:

Packaging: Fully compostable

Our teas are loose-leaf, not bagged which means no plastic-lined tea bags releasing microplastics into your cup, and packaging that's fully compostable once you're through. A small swap with a real difference, especially if tea is part of your daily routine.

 

building a plastic-free routine: 

You don't have to overhaul everything at once. A few easy places to start:

• Already have a lip balm habit? Swap in ours, same use, zero plastic.
• Ready for your next moisturizer? Our tallow face cream comes fully plastic-free, jar and all.
• Need a new toothbrush or floss routine? Start with our biodegradable floss and metal toothpaste tin.
• Love a good cup of tea? Our loose-leaf teas skip the plastic-lined bag entirely.
