While we take the time to celebrate our planet this Earth Day, which falls on 22 April, we should also reflect on how our daily habits can impact the environment.
Despite all the glitz and glamour of the beauty industry, it can be a major contributor of waste. Many brands tackle this by launching refillable skincare and makeup products that can go the distance with you.
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t make a difference! By making the switch to refillable beauty products, you can significantly reduce your environmental footprint without sacrificing your glow.
In this article, we gather 15 refillable skincare and makeup products for you to shop this Earth Day. Ditch the disposables and join us on the journey towards a greener beauty routine, one refill at a time!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau De Parfum Spray
The perfect spring fragrance can now last you all year, or better yet, till next spring!
Marc Jacobs really impressed with the bouquet-inspired design of their newly launched Daisy Wild fragrance, but our favourite thing about it isn’t the green stalks in the perfume bottle emulating fresh flowers in vase (that’s a close second), but its refillable aspect.
