6 ways to reduce beauty waste

Small changes to your beauty routine can help reduce some of the beauty waste in the cosmetics industry. Axiology is a clean, vegan, and cruelty-free makeup brand that creates zero-waste Lip-to-Lid Balmies. Switching to shampoo bars, like ones sold at Lush or Ethique, or trying products that come in dissolvable packaging can help reduce liquid and plastic waste. Other options include using powder shampoo, like one sold by Susteau. Traditional makeup wipes can be harmful for the environment and your skin, so using alternatives like multiuse sponges or cleansing balms can be a lot more eco-friendly. Lastly, you can repurpose makeup by repairing broken makeup, depotting a variety of products into one container, or turning expired makeup into watercolors for painting.
