What actually helps
Bars, refills & natural fibres

The science
Why bathroom, but plastic free?
The bathroom is full of single-use plastic bottles and synthetic fibres. Solid shampoo and conditioner bars, refillable aluminium, safety razors, and organic-cotton rounds replace the bottles you rebuy every month, and swap shedding synthetics for natural materials that don't.
Most everyday microplastic exposure traces back to plastic packaging and food/personal-care contact materials. · CNN Health, 2025
Plastic doesn't biodegrade, it fragments into ever-smaller pieces that persist in the environment and our bodies. · Stanford University, 2025
Common questions
- Does one shampoo bar really replace multiple bottles?
- A concentrated bar typically replaces two to three liquid bottles, cutting both plastic packaging and the water you'd otherwise be shipping around.
