Plastic Free Deodorant

The BEST eco friendly deodorant! Biodegradable packaging and formula that holds up in the Florida heat. My favorite thing about the brand, Ethique, is their choice to NOT fear monger consumers about “ingredients”. They rather choose to educate us on plastic pollution and what they are doing to help fight that problem.

REVLON - One Step Hair Dryer

Obviously this is NOT a low waste product. But, to know I won’t have to buy a round brush and an additional hair dryer is what makes this such a great tool! One product that does 2 jobs is IT for me 🙌🏽 I use this one to two times a week when I wash my hair and in the past year I’ve used this tool more than I have EVER used a regular blow dryer.

[I do not support their beauty products as they are sold in mainland China therefore are not cruelty free😩]

My Topiclas: Faded Serum

Pigmentation fading and brightening serum! This earth friendly packaged serum turns 3-4 serums into 1 beautiful jam packed product that puts in WERK! If you’re suffering from any acne marks, dark spots, PIH, rosacea, and/or erythema this is for you! You used this after cleansing + before moisturizer and SPF.

Of course it’s vegan + cruelty free BUT the brand is also Woman (Black & Asian) owned and backed by science (no chemphobia here).

Because it’s also fragrance free (for my sensitive babes) I have to let you know this does smell like the ingredients 👃🏼 it can be a little funky but it doesn’t last.

SunBum Face Lotion SPF 50

Fragrance Free, Vegan, Cruelty Free, and Gluten Free.
This SPF is for my normal to dry friends who don’t like a white cast or simply cannot find an elegant mineral sunscreen that works with their skin tone. This IS an organic sunscreen aka it uses chemical filters. Do NOT be afraid of chemical filters; chemical filters give SUPERIOR uv protection (especially for aging purposes = think UVA rays). If you’re afraid of reef safety then be weary of zinc oxide as that TOO can cause coral reef bleaching. Moral of the story: wear your SPF!

Note: This says its a matte finish but I disagree, as when I wear this I get compliments on my “glow” and its this! Also…3oz for under $15 is AMAZING! Sun Bum is based in Florida, so if you’re in the state, you can feel good about buying from a local brand!

Raw Elements Natural + Mineral SPF30

SPF 30+ BROAD-SPECTRUM - Zinc Oxide - cruelty-free - 1% for the planet - Recyclable Packaging - perfect for travel!

I love swirling my makeup sponge in this and stippling this spf on, it leaves the most beautiful sheen which is my favorite part about it. This CAN break you out, and does leave a white case you will need to work into the skin. For that reason I prefer to use this on my neck, chest, and shoulders for extra protection with an added healthy glow. Please patch test before using every day.

However, this spf is water resistant for up to 80min which is perfect for the Florida humidity.

Makeup + Beauty

Below is a round up of products by brands who are striving to change the industry through their initiates. Focusing on taking care of people and the planet. These are beauty products in eco conscious packaging and/or in refillable options! The brands below are vegan [unless stated] as well as cruelty free with an eco conscious mission.


Kjaer Weiss Creme Foundation

A refillable foundation with a velvet semi-matte finish. I personally only purchased the refill as I have a pallet I can pop this into. You CAN purchase this with the case, but it comes a steeper price point I couldn’t afford to spend. I prefer the refill! It’s lightweight and can be layered. It looks better with a brush over a sponge!

Créme Tint Pro

A zero waste makeup brand created by a proMUA? YES! Kiki G created Salt New York and you can 6 colors to choose from per category.

Highlights, Blushes, Bronzers (to keep it simple)

If you have a magnetic palette then you can pop these pans right in but if not, she does sell a vegan leather zip up magnetic palette that can hold these cream products as well as your existing products (if you can depot them)

I personally have the following creams:
- beige (radiant)
- rose and coral (lip + cheek)
- light/medium (sculpt)

Salt New York is a small business so please be kind to their delays due to maintaining COVID precautions and safety measures. ✨

Detergent Pods

Not into composting your eco nuts? That’s cool! Try dropps laundry detergent pods. The pod itself is a water soluble film made of polyvinyl alcohol which breaks down and dissolves in water. Making everything from the box it comes in to the product itself completely zero waste.

Eco Nuts Laundry Detergent

Toss them and forget ‘em! The easiest laundry soap ever. The soapberries release saponin when agitated (in your washing machine) and leave your clothes like new!

One cloth can be used for up to 1 year before needing to compost. Use dry to scrub and wet to clean!

Simple to use and no plastic or silicone ice smell! Fill up 1/2 or even 3/4 with water (but not to the top).

Store in a big bowl in your freezer or leave in the container! The only ice maker you’ll need.

Can’t totally vouch for these as they are in my living room...in a box...waiting to be opened on Christmas morning BUT 👇🏼
