As we’re constantly testing new products and formulations that are on #beautytok (we’re not the only ones), it’s important to not over-consume.
Certainly, we try to be mindful of sustainability all year round, but it’s ever-so important at the beginning of a new year. Aside from turning to some clean beauty brands (in short, reading the ingredient list before putting a product on our skin), there’s a new wave to hop on: refillable beauty products. (Related: 2023 beauty trends, according to experts)
According to a 2022 study, not only ingredients — but packaging, too — has been an emphasis for several beauty brands, especially following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Much like sustainable brands offering clothing rental services, your favorite creamy moisturizers and feel-good shampoos come in alternate packaging so you can simply refill and reuse.
Ahead, we pulled the top beauty products that have sustainability in mind — from Glow Recipe to OUAI. With this list, you’ll be treating your skin and treating the planet.
Sephora

Sephora
As one of the best shampoos we reviewed, the OUAI Fine Hair Conditioner Refill Pouch is a blessing from above. Namely, it’s a lightweight, color-safe hair product that helps make your hair softer and more voluminous.
