There is nowadays an ecological awareness in societies: one realizes the pollution that mankind creates and tries to move towards a more ecological behaviour. In cosmetics, reducing non-biodegradable ingredients is a first step (we banish silicones from our creams and hair products!) but switching to organic is also an important step! Indeed, organic labels favour manufacturing processes that are less polluting and more respectful of the planet!
But for an even more environmentally friendly way of life, it is also necessary to think about reducing waste. In 5 steps, here are our tips for a greener bathroom:
Instead of buying 200 ml shower gels that you finish and buy back in less time than it takes to write it down, favour large formats of at least 500 ml, such as the Avril certified organic shower gels! They are economical and make it possible to use less plastic packaging! If you want even less waste, you can also use our certified organic Provence Soaps to wash yourself!
What is the point of packing a day cream or toothpaste in a cardboard box? Nothing, we agree! To avoid all this unnecessary waste and thus protect the natural environment, it is preferable to buy products without overwrapping. That's why none of the April products are sold in a
Cotton is an extremely polluting and water-intensive industry. If you don't want to clean your skin with pesticides, start with organic cotton! Then, limit their use: to remove your makeup, be it with the organic make-up remover oil or the organic cleansing milk certified Avril, you can use your fingers! April also offers washable make-up removal squares in organic cotton or even water-based make-up removal gloves! Likewise, you can buy our organic cotton beauty kits to replace plastic or traditional cotton beauty kits!
You don't need to have several kinds of creams, shower gels and shampoos open at the same time! Especially since changing the care routine too often is bad for the skin. Stick to your day cream and use it to the end! Better, if you have normal to dry skin, you can use face and body cream so you benefit from 2 products in 1: convenient, economical and ecological!
Have you purchased a product that doesn't fit you, or to which you are unfortunately allergic? Instead of throwing it in the garbage, why don't you give it a second life? Someone from your family or friends might be happy to enjoy it for you! And when you finish a product, don't forget to check if its packaging is recyclable! ;-)
