Single-Dose Beauty Packaging Is About to Be Everywhere—But What Does That Mean for the Environment?

Kate Westad will be the first person to tell you that she’s not from the beauty world. The lawyer-turned-entrepreneur came up with her “million-dollar idea” after a friend canceled a much-anticipated girls’ trip to Paris right before she was about to head to the airport. “I was sitting there, so upset, with my luggage all around me on the floor and all I could think about was, ‘Why do I need so much stuff? None of this stuff is important and—hell yes—I am still going.”

In Growing Loop, Tom Szaky Continues Quest to Make TerraCycle Irrelevant

In Tom Szaky’s Utopian worldview, the waste-management company he founded in 2001 would cease to exist, in part because all consumer goods products would be available in reusable containers. And so as part of its progress to make itself irrelevant, TerraCycle announced last month its Loop product-reuse initiative has become available in every ZIP code in the continental United States.

My Favorite Skincare Products

Thanks To Nordstrom For Sponsoring This Post

I’m super excited to let you guys in on my skincare secrets. I have always struggled with acne for as long as I can remember, so I take my skincare very seriously. Beautycycle is now available at Nordstrom. You can dropped off any empty packaging that can’t go into your regular curbside bin at any beauty department in Nordstrom to help create zero waste beauty routine.   image.png  I have been on the hunt for products to help with the dark spots and scars the acne tends to leave behind. I did some research and headed straight to Nordstrom. I have acne-prone skin and have lots of acne scars and discoloration. It comes and goes. Over the Summer, my face broke out terribly. I couldn’t figure out what was going on—I think it was due the mask and the fact that I have sensitive skin. “Maskne”, as we are now calling it.   image.png  I picked up some amazing beauty products that I’ve been loving and they have made a big difference on my skin. Let’s start with my holy grail product: Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution   image.png  This is a dark spot corrector and brightening serum that helps visibly reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks. I love this product; it has made such a huge difference on my skin care routine. It was highly recommended by the sales associate at Nordstrom. I have been using this serum religiously in the morning and at night and I have seen my dark spots fading. I witnessed a true, visible difference on my face within just a few weeks.   image.pngThe next item I picked up at Nordstrom was the Super Multi-Corrective Cream SPF. It such a product, and it goes well with the dark spot corrector. It has a great texture and goes on smoothly. It even gives my skin a bit of a glow. I use it at night before bed as a part of my night time routine. I wash my face and then apply my dark spot serum before moisturizing.I like that it’s a 5-in-1 formula that helps lift, firm, smooth, re-texturize and moisturize, along with SPF 30—a plus for me. I love Kiehl’s products because every product embodies natural, botanical ingredients with a clinical touch.   image.pngAnother favorite I picked up from Nordstrom Beauty is the Dior Capture Youth New Skin Effect Enzyme Solution. Not only is it pretty, but it also smells amazing. I use it as a toner as it helps eliminate dead skin cells and diminishes surface imperfections—just what I need to help get rid of my hyperpigmentation. I use this right after I wash my face, morning and night, before I apply my serum and moisturizer. My skin feels super smooth and hydrated the next morning. Another favorite of mine is the Bienfait Multi-Vital SPF 30 Day Cream. I love this because it has a 24-hour antioxidant and vitamin-enriched broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen and moisturizer.   image.pngIt has a perfect creamy consistency to apply on my face and it smells amazing. A good moisturizer is important because I use a lot of products to clean my face which tends to dry it out. This product helps moisturize my skin and leaves it feeling smooth and soft. Here are a few other products I use and love.   image.png 

TerraCycle and Nordstrom partner on beauty products packaging recycling

International recycling leader TerraCycle recently announced a new partnership with leading fashion retailer Nordstrom to help divert hard-to-recycle beauty packaging waste from landfills through the Nordstrom Beautycycle recycling program. With less than 2 percent of the 120 billion plastic packaging units produced annually by the beauty industry being recycled, Nordstrom and TerraCycle are teaming to intercept and properly recycle these hard-to-recycle items and ensure that they will never be landfilled, littered or incinerated. Customers are invited to bring any brand of beauty packaging waste to the Beauty Department at participating Nordstrom locations and dispose of them in the provided TerraCycle Zero Waste Boxes. When full, the boxes will be returned to TerraCycle for processing and the collected waste will be cleaned, melted and remolded to make new products. Participation in the Nordstrom Beautycycle recycling program is completely free and is open to anyone. Using the interactive map found on the recycling program’s dedicated landing page at www.terracycle.com/nordstrom consumers can find the closest participating Nordstrom location where they can bring their empty beauty products to be recycled. One of the locations listed is the Nordstrom store in the Village of Merrick Park shopping center. “TerraCycle’s mission has always been to ‘Eliminate the Idea of Waste’ and we’ve proven that solutions do exist for items that may seem difficult to recycle,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle. “Nordstrom not only shares our commitment but has taken it to the next level by spearheading the Nordstrom Beautycycle recycling program to reduce the impact of beauty packaging waste on the environment and help pave the way for a greener future.” TerraCycle works with major manufacturers and retailers to recycle products and packaging that would normally be thrown away.

NOBLE PANACEA: ELEVATING BEAUTY AND THE MIND

Noble Panacea. Even the name is impressive. Just like how this cutting-edge beauty brand is multi-layered in complex science and innovative development, so is its name. On the one hand, it may seem oblique. But you soon realise that it gives a nod to its founder Noble Prizewinner Sir Fraser Stoddart. On the other, it has a deeper significance, referencing academic connotations (Panacea is the Greek goddess of universal remedies) so that you know this is not your average, off-the-shelf cosmetic company.
