In the midst of this plastic-pollution crisis, companies are stepping in and making reusable and refillable cosmetics available to customers, so we can continue to care for ourselves.

1. Refillable Deodorant

Those plastic, twist-up deodorant tubes are becoming a thing of the past. Instead, household-name and small brands alike are offering refillable options.

Proverb’s aluminum-free deodorant refills are available in different colors, scents and strengths, and are wrapped in paper.

2. Washable Cotton Rounds

Instead of buying those mega-packs of cotton pads from the beauty aisle, try washable cotton rounds.

3. Refillable Skin Care Products

Brands large and small are coming up with solutions for the small, single-use plastic bottles, jars and tinctures that store our favorite skin care products.
