Their products seamlessly blend beauty with sustainability, using refillable bamboo packaging to reduce waste while delivering high performance comparable to conventional makeup.

With 49% of UK women regularly wearing lipstick, an estimated 100-130 million lipsticks are sold annually in the UK. The vast majority come in plastic packaging, which is often not recyclable due to mixed materials like metal components and mirrors. This results in millions of lipstick tubes ending up in landfills, contributing to plastic waste and microplastic pollution that harms ecosystems and wildlife.

By switching to refillable lipsticks, you can reduce your environmental footprint without compromising on style or quality. Refillable options are just as convenient, last longer, and help decrease the demand for single-use plastics. Plus, you’ll be part of a growing movement toward sustainability, making a meaningful difference with every purchase. It’s a simple switch that supports a cleaner, more eco-friendly future.

I love this lipstick because it’s got such good coverage, comes in great colours, and is so easy to apply. I bite my lips more than I should, so feel better knowing that this is natural and vegan-friendly.
