Refillable, Reusable Receptacles
Brands are creating carefully crafted containers designed to live on your shelves instead of landfills. It's hard not to get hooked on Tata Harper Skincare's Restorative Eye Crème, a plumping formula that makes eyes look less tired. Thankfully, there's a good contingency plan for when you run out: Both the starter receptacle's pod ($130) and the refill pods ($110 each) contain 96 pumps' worth of the formula (tataharperskincare.com). Kate McLeod's Forest Stone is a palm-size orb of cocoa butter and plant-based oil, which melt with body heat to become a silky yuzu-and-woodsy scented body moisturizer. The "stone" comes packaged in recyclable paper and a reusable (and compostable) bamboo canister, and you can purchase refills online ($45; katemcleod.com). Irene Forte Skincare Apricot Penta-Acid Face Polish ($110; ireneforteskincare .com) contains a blend of physical and chemical exfoliants, including wheat bran and red grape skin, made from upcycled materials from Northern Italy. The glass jar is refillable, and the refill component is also recyclable (with a prepaid shipping label to UK waste management company First Mile), which gives it a second life. The new perfumes from La Bouche Rouge come in five scents: Rose, Nude, Ambre, Rouge, and Bleu. Thirty percent of the ingredients are derived from upcycled raw materials, and each scent comes in a glass spray bottle ($195 each). Refills ($95 each) are packaged in 100 percent upcycled aluminum tubes, a first in the fragrance industry (laboucherougeparis.com).
