You might not realize it, but the beauty industry has a huge impact on the planet. Single-use packaging produces billions of units in waste every year, and toxic ingredients such as parabens and sulfates aren’t just harmful to the body, they’re bad for the environment.
In an effort to be more eco-friendly, brands are leaning into non-toxic ingredients, recyclable packaging and in some cases, refillable products. Although refillable makeup hasn’t become the norm, companies are beginning to incorporate more of them in the lineup.
If you have been looking for another way to make life more sustainable and eco-friendly, your makeup collection is a great place to start. And with Earth Day on Saturday (April 22), the timing couldn’t be better! To help you out, we’ve rounded up a list of refillable lipsticks that you can buy online.
See the roundup below. For more ways to celebrate Earth Day and Earth Month, check out these sustainable accessories for your smart phone, and eco-friendly headphones.
