Zero Waste Hair Shampoos and Conditioners

Green People is a quality brand of organic vegan haircare, offering both shampoos and conditioners, made with natural ingredients and sold in easy-to-recycle sugar-cane tubes. Although the brand is a little more expensive than some sold in chemists and grocery stores, the products are superior and highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

The scent-free shampoo is ideal for sensitive scalps and for people who need to avoid essential oils (say pregnancy, nursing and allergies). It’s also ideal for fragile hair that has been bleached, coloured or permed.

If buying other items from this brand, wash off any containing cocoa butter (or zinc oxide in deodorants and sun creams) before letting pets kiss your skin.

It blends three seaweeds to bring ocean benefits to your hair, without fragrance. It also contains soothing aloe vera, yucca (for foam without synthetic detergents) and pineapple extract (to help remove dead skin cells from the scalp).

One tube should last two to three months, with regular use. Take out regular subscriptions, earn points to redeem, against further purchases.

All Green People shampoos are sold with optional conditioners.

Miniml refillable shampoos and conditioners

Miniml (UK) is a wonderful haircare brand of shampoos (and optional conditioners) made with natural ingredients (including Yorkshire water!) in refillable bottles.

All these items have scent. Green People offers scent-free haircare, for pregnancy/nursing or allergies. 

If buying other items from this brand, the cleaning vinegar is the only product with an unscented version. Learn about scent-free cleaning options for pregnancy, nursing or if you live with babies or pets (even rinsed surfaces can be unsafe after using citrus and other essential oils). 

How does the refill system work?

Once your bottle is empty, you can order bulk refill bottles, to decant into. You can also find these refill bottles at many zero waste stores.

To refill online, send back your empty refill bottles (you get a QR code to print off and drop off at EVRI stores). The bottles are cleaned and sanitised using green-powered energy and filtered water, then replaced with fresh product, and sent back to you.

So far this brand has saved over 500 tonnes of plastic from ending up at landfill!
