What is the most sustainable option for makeup remover pads?
Most people use disposable cotton pads or wipes to remove their makeup.
In average, each woman uses 3 cotton pads per day which amounts to around 1 thousand per year. Plus the plastic packaging!
Cotton pads are often blended with synthetic materials, such as polyester, so are impossible to recycle. If 100% cotton, they can be composted but only if they have not been used to remove make-up or with chemicals such as disinfectants.
All this waste will end up in landfill, and some people even flush it down the toilet! 😱
Why not switch to reusable makeup remover pads?
It’s zero waste! 🌿 You can reuse and wash them a thousand times. Just put them in a small mesh bag and into the washing machine.
Don’t forget to choose a recyclable packaging or even no packaging at all. 😉 Easy!
