Well - that was quick. They came straight back to me &the majority of it is & soon it will all be but they will supply a bag for you to send it back to them FOC if your local council does not re-cycle the types you have & they will dispose of it where it can be taken.

I only ever use Tropic products on face & body now.Made with no animal products & not tested on animals. Approved by Vegan society & anti- Animal Cruelty charities.
It does come in a plastic type bottles/jars but I am not sure if they can be recycled. I'll look into it though.
Due to the ethical approach they take I would think that of they are but I'll check. The woman who started it up won The Apprentice in 2011 think it was to fund it.
My skin is amazing for my age & I put it all down to these products. They smell lovely too.

This site - www.lovelula.co.uk has lots of products in various price ranges. I have started using soap bars again for body and hair. I use Ben and Anna's deodorant in a cardboard tube. I love the Lyonsleaf range which uses glass jars and metal lids.It's also worth looking at www.evolvebeauty.co.uk which is another of my favourite ranges.

There's a company on line called Cyril's Soap Shed based in Hampshire. It makes organic soap and shampoo bars using goats milk. No palm oil at all. They sell individual or bundles of 10 and in various fragrances. Bundles cost around £36 for ten bars. Not sure if you can mix and match the soap and shampoo bars though. Sometimes they do bundles of non fragrance soaps a bit misshapen and a bit cheaper. Ideal also for eczema sufferers or psoriasis. It's lovely soap, I had some bought as a gift and really enjoyed using it, although I generally use another hand made vegan soap I get in Boots (Faith in Nature).

I use Caurnie soap which is produced locally . It is all organically made.
See the website.

Try Splosh . You have one plastic bottle for each product. Which is refilled and replaced for free if it breaks. So good product, reasonably priced and far less plastic ?

Dr Bronner soap bars are lovely. Not cheap, but they last for ages. If you shop around online there are always bargains to be had!

Here are the ingredients for the rose scented one:

Be careful with Lush. They promote as organic but actually lots of their products are not.

I only found out by accident that it’s only the ones with a green label. If it has a black label it’s just as chemical as anything else.

I get my soap from a small local producer with his own little workshop. Then I can see exactly what goes into it and what the process is.

You could try Lush. They are expensive but explain what they are about on their website.

Probably be inundated with ads now ? but I never even look so totally wasted on me lol.

I want to cut down the plastic bottles in my bathroom and try finding some organic products shower soap, shampoos etc but there is so much choice I’m looking for recommendations. Something moisturising, that has a nice but natural smell that doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg would be good.
So ladies what do you use?
