The only thing better than finding a formula that’s good ’til the last drop? One you can replace sustainably. Along with an increase in clean beauty formulas, brands are making more of an effort to create more sustainable packaging. Shifting towards refillable and reusable bottles, jars and compacts is a first step in the right direction to help reduce the beauty industry’s plastic waste problem.

These 20+ hair, skin and body products offer refillable components for a beauty routine that’s equal parts sustainable and effective.
