Sbtrct Makeup Melt is a zero waste cleansing bar that is an alternative to cleansers in plastic bottles. Vegan and free from palm oil, it uses coconut surfactant (with plant-based squalane, shea butter and glycerine) to melt away make-up (including waterproof mascara).
To use, warm the bar between your hands then massage over a dry face and neck, sweeping over closed eyes to lift make-up from skin and lashes. Add a little warm water to emulsify into a milk cleanser. Dampen a cloth and wipe off with gentle strokes, leaving skin ready to cleanse.
The bar is dermatologically-approved and used daily, will last 10 to 12 weeks (twice that of a plastic bottle of cleanser). It uses a small concentration of natural preservative to combat yeast, bacteria and mould.
Store the bar in between uses in the accompanying diatomite reusable dish to stop it going soggy, then just buy refills. Save up to 20% on subscriptions.
At end of use, just compost the carton and paper wrap and it will biodegrade in 90 days. If you don’t have a compost bin, just recycle (no need to rinse).
This sustainable make-up tool kit contains 3 tools in a box made from recycled ocean plastic, which breaks even after about 35 uses. Use the three tools combined to remove makeup, clean smeared lipstick, separate lashes and feather brows.
Don’t use swabs to clean your ears (can damage the eardrum, have your GP syringe them if needed). Keep swabs away from children & pets (choking hazards).
The case includes soft medical-grade TPE tips and a large mirror. Easy to use and clean, you can take this case anyway, then just clean the swabs with soap and water, and store in the case to prolong life. Designed to last 5 to 10 years.
