All Earth Mineral Cosmetics offers items in cardboard shakers, or refillable pots made from fishing waste (collected from Cornish oceans). The company also makes nice vegan makeup brushes.
The colour cosmetics industry is extremely wasteful, usually using red/pink colours from dead red beetles (carmine/cochineal) and inorganic talc (linked to ovarian cancer), then packaged in plastic and (abroad) tested on animals. Also read about natural make-up removers.
Most cosmetics contain cocoa butter and cocoa butter and zinc/titanium dioxide, so wash your face before letting pets lick you! Avoid shea butter for latex allergies.
The sifters use minimal plastic and are easy to decanter powder, and the lid fits flush for travel. Choose from foundations, powders and tints, made with vitamin E, jojoba oil and lavender.
