WORDS BY LEYLA RUDOLF
Here’s a stat: more than 120 billion units of packaging are produced every year by the beauty industry. And most of it is still not recyclable – indeed, a typical moisturiser pot can take up to 1000 years to decompose.
In the last issue of healthy – our ‘Naked Beauty’ special – we urged you to ditch unnecessary packaging. But we know living the eco-beauty life isn’t easy when there’s so much glossy (and well wrapped) temptation around. Not to mention products we still use even though we know we shouldn’t (because they work).
