1. Start zero waste in my bathroom with eco-friendly accessories
Some eco-friendly and reusable accessories for your personal hygiene.
The soap
No more shower gels in plastic packaging. Opt instead for a solid soap . Simple, eco-friendly, and effective. Fragrant, enriched with vegetable oil, and palm oil-free. It is packaged in recyclable paper.
Solid shampoo
Washing your hair with a solid product isn't easy. It takes a little getting used to, that's for sure! But once you try it, you'll love it. Try our products from Umaï, Aumyana, or Pachamamaï. If it's good for the planet, it's good for your hair!
Toothpaste
Solid toothpaste resembles a bar of soap you rub with your wet toothbrush. Made with calcium carbonate, it protects your tooth enamel. Discover our range of solid, paste, and lozenge toothpastes.
The deodorant

2. Ban single-use products
Change your habits and reduce waste. It's time to switch to sustainable products. Discover our valuable tips below.
Opt for washable cotton pads and wipes
Take care of your pretty face! Adopting zero waste means boycotting the cotton rounds that perfume your trash. Instead, stock up on washable cotton pads and wipes . There's something for every style. Choose the material that suits you: bamboo terry, cuddly fabric, or fleece. Bamboo fibers provide deep cleansing for fresh, clean skin. As for baby, they'll love fleece.
Replace cotton swabs with oriculi
Cotton swabs are as old as time. It's time to switch to the zero-waste alternative! Replace all your disposable cotton swabs with a reusable ear cleaner . The oriculi is an economical and ecological tip that will allow you to clean the ears of children and adults. Made of bamboo or stainless steel, wash it with warm water and ordinary soap... Sturdy while you're at it!
Invest in menstrual panties
Are you a fan of the menstrual cup? Don't hesitate to try menstrual panties . Here too, you're spoiled for choice. Different models, colors, and for all flows. Of course, it's an initial investment. Break the bank, you won't regret it! No need to buy sanitary protection.
Additionally, you avoid the risk of toxic shock. Many women are unaware of the dangers of this disease, which can occur during menstruation, when using tampons or menstrual cups.
3. Opt for sustainable products
We still have the toothbrush, the hair comb or even the razor.
Choose a toothbrush with an interchangeable or biodegradable head
- Interchangeable: the principle is simple. Thanks to the interchangeable heads, you can keep your toothbrush handle indefinitely. Economical and ecological.
- Biodegradable: This is an alternative to traditional plastic toothbrushes. Eco-friendly, with extra-soft bristles, it generates no waste. The bamboo or beech wood used for its handle decomposes naturally. The bristles are 100% biodegradable in compost or in a fire.
👍 To be used of course with solid toothpaste!
Use accessories that are coming back into fashion
- The razor ! For both men and women, it's the ultimate zero-waste item. Because aside from the blades that need replacing, it's an item you can keep for life! With its wooden, stainless steel, or chrome handle, it's very precise and easy to handle.
- The old-fashioned comb! To easily detangle your hair, choose our bamboo combs . The wide-toothed comb is ideal for perfectly detangling thick and curly hair.
