We're all on board for reducing plastic waste but have you looked in your bathroom, gym or make up bag recently? They can be a catastrophe of single use plastic.

But it's not easy for small, independent skincare brands to get rid of every bit of plastic in their bottles, pots and jars.

Plastic is cheap and accessible, when you're a tiny brand being able to afford all the right packaging can take time to achieve.

With your help though sustainable skincare brands can get even bigger and better.

There are a lot more plastic free skincare options than you might think - from eco-luxe to everyday budget.
