10 Natural Make Up Items For Plastic Free Beauty

The beauty industry can be a difficult one to navigate when picking skincare products that are kind to your face, the world and the animals we share it with. So we have handpicked our favourites that allow you to make conscious, plastic free and cruelty free decisions. We have listed vegan, natural and plastic free make up and beauty products like mascara, powder foundation, powder concealer, nail polish and many more.

If you are looking for more on other beauty products (not including makeup) but instead like a bamboo toothbrush, an alternative to shampoo like a shampoo bar, cotton swabs and many others these can be found in our other blog post 10 Products to Make Your Bathroom Plastic Free & Zero Waste.

1. Aloe Vera Organic Refillable Mascara, £21.75

Zao's Aloe Vera Mascara delivers intense definition, volume and durability with its clever structured lash-by-lash brush wand. Its nourishing formula cares for your lashes with organic aloe vera, castor oil and shea butter whilst coating your lashes from root to tip with intense colour. Perfect for evening wear, this mascara will give your lashes va-va-voom! We love this makeup as you can also purchase a refill, instead of creating plastic packaging waste like with traditional mascara.

2. Bamboo Refillable Palette, £17

This bamboo refillable palette by Zao is a great way to avoid plastic packaging when buying makeup. It is reusable so you will only ever have to buy this once and you get to pick the makeup separately that you would like to fill it with. It makes for easy storage and transport. It has a magnetic lid, a magnetic base to store refills securely and features a mirror inside the top lid. This palette holds either 2 powder refills (blush, compact powderhighlighter, eye primer); or 4 eye shadow refills; or 1 powder and 2 eyeshadow refills.

3. Red & Berried Lip Balm, £5.70

This wonderful product can also be used to bring some colour to your cheeks like a blusher. The packaging is a metal tin and so no plastic waste with this vegan beauty product.

6. Individual Bamboo MakeUp Brush, from £4

bamboo make up brush.

This vegan and eco-friendly makeup brush by Flawless is approved by PETA. They believe that beauty does not have to come at the expense of animal welfare and so all of their brushes are luxurious and vegan, containing no animal hair. The hand finished synthetic fibres are ultra soft yet firm enough to effortlessly apply your makeup with a flawless finish. This brush comes in 8 different styles. Also, we love that this makeup brush comes packaging free, it is not even wrapped in a recyclable cardboard packaging.

7. 10-Free Nail Varnish, £11.50

red natural 10 free nail varnish with bamboo lid.

This vegan Zao nail polish is packaged in a glass bottle with a bamboo lid and it comes in a variety of beautiful colours. These nail polishes are '10-free' which means that 10 known toxins and animal derived ingredients traditionally found in nail polish have been replaced; without any toxic ingredients and enriched in silica from bamboo oil, you can use them without limitation. Organic water-based nail polishes chip and flake very easily, so Zao has devised a nail polish that delivers the quality of traditional nail polishes but without the toxic chemicals, resulting in an effective and long-lasting nail polish that does not compromise your health. For more information please take a look at our blog post What is Non-Toxic Nail Varnish and How To Have A Vegan & Eco Friendly Manicure At Home?

8. SPF 15 Skin Brightening Face & Body Moisturiser, £28.99

skin brightening moisturiser in aluminium tube.

Add this beautiful and luxurious product by Antipodes to your beauty routine to brighten your skin. It is made with certified organic ingredients and is our go-to moisturiser this summer, no matter the weather. We have selected this product as it seems to be the only (almost) plastic free and natural moisturiser available in the UK with an SPF rating...!! We love that they use raspberry seed oil to utilise the natural sun protection found in this.

9. Mirror, £10

bamboo mirror for handbag.

This bamboo handbag mirror is a stylish and compact mirror to apply or check your lipstick, blush or any other makeup on the move. It features a magnetic closure and opens out to a mirror on each side. Fitting into the smallest of handbags, purses or pockets. This truly is the best alternative to the plastic packaging that can encase other highstreet store mirrors.

10. Organic Cotton Wash Bag, from £8.99

marble blue and pink print on large and small wash bags.

This 100% organic cotton wash bag by Lani is the ultimate reusable bag for transporting your toiletries and cosmetics or any other items you need to keep organised. Lightweight, yet sturdy, they come in stunning swirl prints, are embossed with a Lani logo and finished with a gleaming metal zip and a cotton zipper pull. This organic cotton bag comes in two different sizes and we think the small is perfect as a makeup bag.

  • The need for more legitimate hacking companies are rising each passing day because of the magnitude of scams being run on the Internet. I know what I went through before I was able to contact Osecybersailing to work on my case after getting scammed multiple times and trying to retrieve back my lost investment funds. After I have invested $670k usd with a fraudulent crypto investment company and i lost everything in the space of one month and got scammed again and again trying to find a solution which wasn’t easy to come by given the circumstances that brought about the incident, getting scammed multiple times is never a good experience for anyone involved which was what exactly happened to me when I got scammed investing into crypto currency. Many posing on the Internet as hacking companies aren’t really what they are because most of them are scammers waiting for a prey to devour, I got referred to reach out to Osecybersailing through a friend and after I investigated about their legitimacy I came across many of their testimony from their satisfied clients that got their lost investment funds retrieved working with this legitimate and evergreen hacking institute which also changed my story helping me retrieve back my lost investment funds. Many of the testimony really were saying great and worthy things about how the company saved them from financial loss, I decided to hire them after many consideration and they didn’t disappoint me by making the choice of choosing them after what I have experienced lately trying to get my funds back from the scammers. They proved they can be trusted with the recovery of lost investment funds which is why I wrote this down for other victims of scam who wishes to ever retrieve back their lost investment funds to let Osecybersailing solve their case, they’re worthy and has what it takes to restore back your funds and peace of mind. If you also wish to check your partner Whatsapp conversation to know if he/she is cheating then Osecybersailing is the best team for you.
    If you find yourself lost in the depths of lost Bitcoin, facebook and Whatsapp hacking to catch your cheating partner, let Osecybersailing’s team guide you towards the light of redemption.
