Eco-friendly products at Savers chosen by Fatima

Ecobud – Bamboo Cotton Buds

“Cotton buds are a must-have in my house! As well as using them for cleaning my ears (remember, never insert it!) I also use them to apply make-up, to clean awkward gaps and for arts and crafts. However, plastic cotton buds are extremely damaging for the environment, so I love this bamboo option from Ecobud. They’re just as sturdy and are cruelty-free, vegan and 100% biodegradable! What’s not to love?”

CS Beauty – Microfibre Make-Up Remover Pads

“If you’re like me, you’ll find removing your makeup the last thing you want to do at the end of the day! But, I know it’s necessary if I want to look after my skin and limit breakouts. These microfibre make-up remover pads by CS Beauty are gentle on my skin and on the environment. Rather than using a brand new one daily and filling up landfills, I simply wash with soap every night and reuse again the next day.”

Eco – Stainless Steel Straws

“These stainless steel straws by Eco are a MUST if you like using straws for hot or cold drinks. I find them particularly useful as I can simply pop them in the dishwasher when I’ve finished. They’re more durable than paper or plastic straws, and a lot better for the environment! It’s a win-win.”

Proud – Bamboo Toothbrush

“Another product made from bamboo, this Humble toothbrush is dentist approved so I know I’m cleaning my teeth with a high-quality brush. The handle is 100% biodegradable and the bamboo has also been sourced sustainably. It’s a fab option for anyone wanting to ditch their plastic alternative.”

“One of the most effective but small changes you can make is to opt for refillable options. The Carex refill eco pouch allows you to reuse the bottle and pump from your hand wash! This means you use less plastic while still getting the quality of Carex we all know and love!”
