Meet our new sustainable skincare set, the Refillable Minis Kit!
I’ve gone through different iterations of sample sets throughout Rebrand’s history, but I think we finally nailed it!
Sampling is tricky from a sustainability perspective - skincare samples are notoriously wasteful!
According to this article, 100 million miniatures are purchased every year in the UK alone, equaling around 980 tons of plastic waste.
But at the same time, purchasing a full sized product without ensuring it works for your skin can lead to waste as well!
With this in mind, I wanted to create a sample and gift set that allowed for the same refillability as our full size skincare products. Refills help avoid single-use plastic waste and help encourage a circular mindset which will hopefully help us defeat the throw-away economy we live in now!
Hence.. The Refillable Minis Kit!
What’s sustainable about it?
- Glass bottles instead of plastic ones. Glass is not derived from petroleum, and can be infinitely recycled at the end of its life.
- 15 mL sizes instead of smaller. This size is big enough to be recycled and/or cleaned for refilling. It’s also enough product for you to fully evaluate if you like it!
- Screenprinted glass instead of labels. Screenprinting onto the glass allows it to be used over and over again without looking dingy like labels might.
- Refillable instead of single-use. You can purchase a 2X Refill in aluminum and refill your minis, just like you would with the full sizes.
- Paper box instead of cosmetic pouch. Although I love the idea of a cosmetic pouch, we all have enough of these already, and they are ultimately destined for landfill. A paper box allows for great presentation and can be easily recycled curbside.
- Box is 30% hemp paper + 70% FSC certified paper (sustainably sourced paper that doesn’t contribute to deforestation)
- Superior ingredients. Our skincare ingredients are sourced from renewable materials and are vetted for human and environmental health impacts.
What’s not so sustainable about it? (Nothing is perfectly sustainable and we want you to know that)!
- You have to buy all four products, even if only 1 or 2 interest you.
- The dropper bulbs and pump contain plastic and can’t be recycled.
Once you’re done with the Kit, please reuse the bottles! If you loved our products, check out the full sizes! Our 2X Refills in aluminum can be used to refill both the full sizes and the minis.
