If you haven’t tried solid cosmetics yet, a good first step can be shampoos. The bar format is familiar to us, they are comfortable and practical to use. It is the most sustainable version of shampoos, and a great first step, as it saves water, electricity, and plastics in their packaging.
They are very practical when traveling, among other things, because of their small size, they pose no problems on flights, and they prevent liquids that could spill at any time. Although their cost is usually somewhat higher, we must not forget that a shampoo bar can last more than two months.
For their preservation, when you’re not using them, make sure they stay in a dry place, outside the shower area, avoiding constant humidity. When choosing a soap dish, it’s better if it drains, so water doesn’t accumulate under the bar.
To integrate solid cosmetics into the rest of our daily hygiene and beauty routine, at Natural Carol we have opted for very comfortable and practical formats. Like our facial line in sticks, composed of a cleanser, serum, and moisturizer. By applying them directly to the face without needing to touch them with your hands, they remain in perfect condition until the end. Additionally, we have opted for products with refills, which increase the reduction of packaging and reduce the price of what really matters to you, which is the refill product.
For the body line, if you like oils to nourish your skin well, a good option is gelled oils. A texture that appears creamy but becomes much lighter than a cream when in contact with the skin and absorbs instantly.
And within the basics of hygiene, we cannot neglect oral care. Possibly one of the products that will be hardest for you to start with in solid cosmetics, because we are so used to using conventional toothpaste. In this line, our most eco-friendly alternative to traditional toothpaste is the chewable tablets format. Although it’s a very different concept, once you try them, you’ll recognize all their advantages: they are convenient, safe, and formulated with organic and healthy ingredients for your mouth. Plus, each tablet has the necessary dose for each brushing. Will you dare to try them?
If you’re in the process of switching to solid cosmetics and have any doubts, we’re here to help. And remember to always choose trustworthy products from nearby brands that are always there to advise you on finding the best product for you.
