Sbtrct solid skin exfoliator (plastic-free)

SBTRCT solid willow bar facial exfoliator is a zero waste bar sold in sustainable packaging, made with natural ingredients. Created by the former execute of Bulldog Skincare, he decided to create his own zero waste vegan beauty brand, which has fabulous reviews.

This is made with willow bark (a gentler alternative to salicylic acid) and upcycled rice powder, to lift away dead skin cells and decongest pores. Buy the starter kit, then just refills after.

Avoid shea butter for allergies. Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing. Wash items with cocoa butter or zinc oxide (in sunscreens, cosmetics and deodorants) before letting pets kiss you, or avoid them. 

If your kerbside doesn’t recycle, you can recycle beauty packaging (including pipettes) at Boots or Superdrug stores.
