Less cost in more ways than one
By Dinushka Gunasekara | 27th April 2022Finding the skincare routine that works for you is one of life’s greatest pleasures, but buying that new product over and over again isn’t just a pain on your wallet – Mother Earth won’t be too pleased about it, either.
That’s why the world of green beauty is all about makeup and skincare that lasts in more ways than one. Refillable products are the new way of life, decreasing the amount of plastic produced while also being bang for your buck, so you can enjoy your skin saviours for a whole lot less.
To help you become an environmental hero, we’ve rounded up ten refillable makeup and skincare brands that are prettying up our planet with a purpose.

Fluff
The world doesn’t need more products – it needs better products and that’s where Fluff steps in. Offering makeup and skincare made from vegan, natural ingredients without animal testing or palm oil, the minimalist range is perfect for those who don’t have the time for a 12-step morning routine.
