Have a great week, everyone! 💥

Sustainability small steps: solid soaps

They are a great alternative to lots of different things like liquid hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and face wash.

A RÉDUIT Poll from 2020 showed that people use about 24 of each of these products during a year. That is 120 plastic bottles per year, 8640 during a single person’s lifetime! Most of the plastic these products normally come in is not recyclable.

I made the swaps to solid soaps about a year ago and was really surprised about how well they work on my fussy hair and skin. Wrote a bit about it then. The face wash, hair conditioner and volume shampoo that I use are from Ethique. The soap containers are also from them and they are plastic-free. I also use the EarthKind shampoo after I work out because it’s softer on the hair & scalp and works nicely as a daily shampoo. With the hand and body wash you can just experiment forever! I usually get them from Holland & Barrett. LUSH UK has really fun ones as well. Also, there are so many people that make hand made ones, so there are plenty to choose from.

Have a beautiful and relaxing Sunday! 🌞
