Are you still using disposable cotton pads to remove your makeup? What if you switched to a gentler, more economical, and much better for the planet solution? Washable makeup remover pads have it all! Find out why this small gesture can have a big impact.
🌍 1. Disposable cotton pads: a false friend for your skin… and the planet
Every year, billions of cotton pads are produced, used, and then discarded. One might think that cotton is a natural and therefore harmless material. However, its cultivation is one of the most polluting in the world:
-
It consumes a lot of water (up to 5,000 L for 1 kg of cotton!).
-
It requires a lot of pesticides .
-
It generates daily waste that is neither recyclable nor sustainable .
On the skin side, disposable cotton can also pose a problem: it is often bleached with chlorine , it fluffs, it irritates, and it ends up damaging the skin barrier.
