Why Did Blueland Make Facial Cleanser?
The beauty industry is notorious for generating a lot of waste, with over 120 billion units of packaging generated just from beauty and personal care products. Most beauty products come packaged in single-use plastic. In the U.S. only 5% of plastic packaging is actually recycled, and in order for consumers to recycle properly, they need to know what type of plastic their products come packaged in.
Beauty products are extremely difficult to recycle. Many brands don’t have clear recycling instructions for their products and some don’t have recycling instructions at all. Often beauty and personal care products are packaged in mixed-material containers, with bottles made of one type of plastic and caps, pumps and droppers made of another. Mixed materials make it nearly impossible for customers to understand how and if they can recycle their products. Unfortunately, that means tons of plastic packaging ends up in landfills and oceans. That’s why we made Blueland Facial Cleanser, a refillable facial cleanser that is gentle on your skin and the planet.
How Does Blueland Facial Cleanser Work?
Our Facial Cleanser is easy to make, easy on your skin and a simple way to start off your day without single-use plastic.
- Fill your Forever Bottle with cold water to the half round symbol
- Pour in your powder
- Shake the bottle for 10 seconds
- Wait 1 hour for your Facial Cleanser to activate and it’s ready to use!
When you run out, simply purchase a refill pouch, or buy refills in bulk. Our refills come in compostable packaging, so you can have clean skin without the waste.
