Care for your Skin and the Planet
No matter what kind of skin you’re in, pamper it with these planet-friendly options. They clean and moisturize with rich, cruelty-free ingredients, and there are many to choose from.
Most skin care comes in plastic that can’t be recycled. Beware of tiny glass jars with huge plastic caps. Also, plastic pumps that will last forever. When you switch to Unplastix you’ll love it that all the packaging is recyclable, refillable, reusable, and/or biodegradable.
But giving up plastic doesn’t mean giving up on the results you want. These are premium formulas that will make your skin glow with health. They will also help our planet restore its natural beauty.
Skin care is personal. We will continue to add more so that you find what works best for you. All products are also easy to find in our store. Keep coming back for more, because you will always find more!

Honest Hydrogel Cream is richly hydrating with 2 kinds of Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane. It won a Byrdie Skincare award in 2019. It’s also EWG Certified for healthy, cruelty-free ingredients. And Amazon rates Honest products Climate Pledge Friendly for the company’s commitment to sustainability.
Honest is moving in the right direction in developing refillable and recyclable containers. The cream comes in a recyclable plastic pod inside a recyclable plastic jar. The lid cannot be recycled. The pod can be replaced with another recyclable plastic pod. In our opinion, this makes little sense. Instead, the jar and lid could be completely recyclable. Better yet, the jar could be glass with an aluminum lid.
That being said, Honest provides instructions on how to refill or recycle (if possible) their products. You’ll find that information if you scroll down their Amazon pages.
