Zero Waste Skincare for Men (the best brands)

Green People offers organic vegan skincare for men, many items are scent-free. Everything is sold in easy-to-recycle sugar-cane packaging.

Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Keep items away from children and pets. 

Many skincare products contain cocoa butter or zinc oxide (in sunscreen, cosmetics and deodorants). If you live with pets, wash off before letting pets kiss you, or ideally avoid completely. 

You only need a few items, so make a quick list of what you use daily – a face wash, soap, deodorant, razor and moisturiser, and maybe a hair product or beard balm.

Sknfed Organic Face Moisturiser for Men

Sknfed Organic Moisturiser for Men is a revitalising cream for men, with the soothing benefits of aloe vera, the rejuvenating properties of vitamin E and the antioxidant-rich essence of pomegranate. To leave skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

To use, just use in upward movements on face and neck.

I’ve always had dry skin and never found anything that worked for me. Since discovering this product during a trip to London, I’ve been using it every day, and am very happy with it. I highly recommend it!

Hiltwood Natural Soaps (especially for men)

Hiltwood Turmeric Soap Bar is a unique soap, that is not just vegan and free from palm oil, but specially designed for men.

Made with olive and coconut oils, shea butter and natural essential oils, turmeric is ideal for stripping unwanted oil and inflammation from the skin, while cedarwood oil gives a masculine fragrance. Ideal for spotty or red skin, it also contains thyme essential oil.

Lime & Charcoal is ideal for congested skin, like acne.

A Wooden Beard Comb in Vegan Leather Pouch

If you prefer to keep your whiskers (and many men do due to personal choice, less irritation or religious beliefs), then treat yourself to this wooden beard comb in a vegan leather pouch.

A good beard comb can guide unruly facial hair, and push it in the right direction, which helps to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a gentle shampoo to cleanse your beard, two or three times a week. Just combing your beard should be enough to distribute natural oils, and keep it healthy.

Fun Facts About Beards and Moustaches!
