DAY 8 OF JAR'S 12 DAYS OF ZERO WASTE CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS: THE GIFT OF ZERO WASTE SKINCARE

It’s no big secret that the beauty and skincare industry has a love affair with single use items (like makeup wipes) and plastic. So what can you do to reduce your consumption and still keep your skin glowing? We have a ton of options (even outside of what we have featured here). Take some time to scroll through our shop for all viable options for your personal skin type and care regimen.

Zero Waste Sunscreen

According to MarineSafe.com, not only is the sunscreen we wear dangerous to marine life because of the plastic it’s packaged in, but also due to the chemicals in it. Most of what we wear into the oceans, rivers and lakes are riddled with chemicals. Most people don’t even know that they could be contributing to our dying coral reefs just by trying to protect our skin. There are other options though - like the one above! It’s plastic free and here are some other great attributes about it. It’s definitely a Jar favorite!

• SPF 30+

• Broad spectrum protection

• Reef safe

• Biodegradable

• Safe for all ages

• Never runs or stings eyes

• Very water resistant (up to 80 minutes)

• Soy, gluten and nut free
