The packaging of personal Hygiene products are very big contributers to the plastic problem. They usually are plastic single use items which are non-reusable and non biodigradable. But what if I told you there was another way?
Imagine -
There are 8 billion people living in the world. Hundreds of millions of people live near the Mediterranean. All those people use on average 11 bottles of shampoo and over 10 bottles of shower gel per year. Mostly made from plastic which ends up in the environment. Imagine the amount of waste.
Now, on the other hand, imagine if all these people used shampoo bars or body bar soaps. Imagine if they were wrapped individually with paper and produce no waste. Imagine the amount of waste reduced only by this small little change.

The products seen above are a great example of how you can be more sustainable in your everyday life. They are quick and easy swaps to make that make no difference to your morning or night routine. Many sustainable items are made from long-lasting materials and will therefore keep their shpe longer than plastic products, for example the metal razors or thr menstrual cup or the refillable deodorant. Other items, such as the bamboo toothbrush or the natural scrub, will last just as long as the plastic product however when in the environment it will biodegrade easily.
