11 billion wet wipes end up in landfill in the UK and Ireland each year. So here are some alternatives!
The Cleanse Off Mitt is an innovative product, created by an award-winning skin expert, and bestselling author and founder of The Skin Nerd. Cleanse Off Mitt is a reusable microfibre cosmetic mitt designed to remove make-up, oil and debris from the skin. Just add water and the COM removes 99.9% of your make-up.
Eco-friendly make-up removers can be bought from The Wise House. This independent British shop sells cheerful gifts and things for the home that make it easy to use less plastic and live more sustainably. Its products include reusable make-up remover square pads with a leaf design.
Tabitha Eve makes eco-friendly cleansing pads. Ideal for removing make-up or applying toner, they are also super-simple to care for. Simply wash them in your normal laundry load and leave to dry naturally. If your pads have come to the end of their life, you can simply cut them up and add them to your compost bin.
The Hydrophil Konjac Sponge is available through the Ethical Superstore. It is completely free from plastics and BPA because it’s made with 100% konjac plant. Konjac has been used for bathing in Japan and Korea for more than 1,500 years and is still an effective cleaning tool to this day. The sponge is 100% biodegradable, so you can add it to home composting when you are finished with it. Hydrophil donates 10% of its profits to the charity Viva con Agua to help support the campaign for free, clean drinking water for everyone worldwide.
