Ditch The Disposables: 9 Swaps To Create A Plastic Free Bathroom

We’ve all got used to liquid soap but really it’s unnecessary and mostly full of stuff that you can’t pronounce. Swap it for this season’s coolest bathroom accessory - the wool wrapped soap. Social enterprise, The Soap Co. have this number - it’s made from cocoa butter and olive oil, wrapped in Herdwick wool from the Lake District as an exfoliant. It comes smelling of bergamot and mint, works a treat and it’s called a pebble.

Superfood clean beauty gurus Rawgaia’s moisturiser not only rocks but it also comes in a glass jar. The MSM Organic Beauty Cream is award-winning, cold pressed, vegan, cruelty free and packed full of frankincense and myrrh (if it was good enough for the Three Kings…).

Bamboo and wooden toothbrushes are a lot more common than they used to be. We love Mable, simply for its beautiful design. Mable is made from sustainably grown bamboo, it’s biodegradable and for every one bought ones goes to a kid in need.

These gleaming beauties are almost impossible to recycle. The US alone throws away over two billion of them a year. Mutiny Shaving have created a zero emission company, that's eco-friendly and vegan.

It’s even good for chapped lips.

Awake Organicsuse British clay, arrowroot and sodium bicarbonate to keep you whiff free with four organic essential oils working hard to soothe the skin and there's no aluminium. Better yet, this lovely deodorant cream comes in a glass jar.

Georganics is becoming a bit of a cult brand when it comes to organic oral care. We love the incredible oil pulling mouthwash that combines Instagram's favourite things - coconut oil and activated charcoal, but puts them to good use. The natural ingredients literally pull toxins from your mouth. Each item comes in glass and biodegradable packaging and is handmade in Sussex.

Ditch the cotton wool (which comes in plastic) for reusable, washable cotton make up remover pads. We found these in a zero waste shop or you can buy them online here.
