Reducing packaging


I walk into my bathroom and see the small jar of face wash, and the big jar of moisturizer, and the little jar of deodorizer lotion. I made them. I reuse the packaging every time.

Of course, I still buy things in packaging so that I can make these products. And of course, there are more benefits to using body products that I made, versus body products made in a factory setting.

I'm also happy to say that the shea butter in my moisturizer is very low packaging at the point of purchase. I get it from Essence of Life in Kensington Market.

It comes in a coconut shell, all wrapped in wax paper. Just the way I always dreamed it would happen.
