Choose Zero Waste Eye Creams & Serums
Skincare products often come in plastic packaging that ends up in landfill or the ocean. Traditional eye creams and serums contribute to this waste, even if the formulas are gentle on skin. Switching to zero waste options helps reduce packaging waste and supports more thoughtful production methods.
Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing and affected medical conditions. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Keep away from children and pets.

Tips to Reduce Crow’s Feet Around the Eyes
Skin around the eyes is very thin, so be gentle (dry your face by tapping with a towel, not scrubbing). Also tap eye creams and serums gently onto your skin, using your ring finger (uses less pressure).
- Try to get enough sleep. Rest lets your skin repair itself. Aim for regular sleep at the same times each night. Eating fruit and drinking water can also help your skin stay healthy.
- Give up smoking. This also helps to prevent cigarette litter!
- Protect your skin from the sun, and wear sustainable sunglasses (they block out light, and keep you from squinting).
Always wash sun creams off before letting pets kiss your skin, due to zinc oxide.
Upcircle Eye Cream is made with upcycled coffee grounds from London eateries, turning potential waste into something helpful for your skin. It also contains refreshing cucumber. Sold in a glass jar with a metal lid, both easy to recycle.
Caffeine is a known pick-me-up for skin, just as it is for your morning routine. It helps reduce puffiness and dark circles by boosting blood flow around the eyes.
A Chrome Tool for Applying Eye Cream
This metal eye roller is made from chrome, and sold in a cardboard box. It’s ideal for applying eye cream and reducing puffiness, as it aids lymphatic drainage and boosts circulation.
It also doubles as a useful spatula for scooping out product (so you use it, rather than getting it under your fingernails). It can be stored in the fridge for extra cooling.
