5 good reasons to switch to solid cosmetics
Cosmetics account for 5% of plastic packaging in France, or around 55,000 tonnes(source: FEBEA), and 5,000 billion pieces of plastic are already floating in our oceans(source: Nationalgeographic).
It's high time to act! Every gesture counts. Limiting our plastic consumption and changing the way we consume by switching to solids is a great ecological gesture for the planet! We give you 5 reasons to switch to solids in this article.
Solid cosmetics are pleasant to use
Solid cosmetics formulas are more concentrated and therefore more effective. We take great care to adopt our formulas to best meet your expectations. Although they meet specific needs (such as our solid shampoo for oily hair or our solid shampoo for dry hair), we take care to offer you products that are pleasant to use every day. We attach great importance to the textures of our products, as in the case of our ultra-foaming almond solid shampoo, or the more delicate foam of our new radiance face soap, enriched with rose and cornflower floral waters, which is very pleasant to apply to the skin.
Using a solid is fun! Its compact size makes it easy to apply and practical for the whole family. What's more, you can take it with you wherever you go. Just let it dry and slip it into your toiletry bag for a weekend or a trip.
Solid cosmetics help limit environmental impact
Going solid means limiting your personal consumption of plastic. Solid cosmetics are often protected by zero-waste plastic packaging, as is the case, for example, with our solid shampoosand conditioners. Our aim is always to reduce waste, reuse and recycle. Our solids are protected by FSC-certified (from sustainably managed forests), 100% recyclable cardboard boxes. Shower gels are 80% water, so the carbon footprint is higher when using a plastic shower gel. In a more responsible approach, we offer our liquid soaps and shower gels in bulk format in our boutiques!
Solid cosmetics are effective
Solid cosmetics reviews show that solid soap, solid shampoo and solid conditioner are effective.
Almond shampoo for normal hair
They are made from natural ingredients. All the active ingredients in Panier des Sens products have been selected for their cosmetic quality.
For our solid conditionerSweet almond oil, rich in oleic acid and linoleic acid naturally present in our skin, nourishes and protects the hair fiber. Thanks to its composition rich in saturated fatty acids and oleic acid, sweet almond oil softens hair, protects it from drying out and gives it a velvety feel. Organic sweet almond extract from Provence is rich in vitamins, including biotin, and unsaturated fatty acids, and is reputed to strengthen hair and give it shine. Shea is a natural active ingredient derived from the shea nut. Shea Butter is world-renowned for its nourishing and protective properties. Rich in vitamins A, D, E and F, as well as fatty acids, it nourishes the hair fiber, helping it to defend itself against dehydration and external aggression.
Solid cosmetics are easy to carry
Carrying a bottle of shampoo or conditioner in your toiletry bag isn't always easy: it's heavy, it's big, it doesn't always fit in your hand luggage, and the risk of it leaking is often a problem! With solid cosmetics, there's no need to think! Reduce your number of bottles and opt for solid formats. Light and small, they're easy to take with you wherever you go, thanks to their nomadic format! You don't have to do without your conditioner when you go away for the weekend, your de solid will take up less space than a bottle. So why deprive yourself?
Solid cosmetics are economical
A solid cosmetic lasts much longer than a non-solid cosmetic. This applies to solid body soap, solid dish soap, solid shower soap and solid hair conditioner.
Indeed, for our honey, grape or almond solid shampoos, for example:
1 pebble ≈ 2 plastic bottles 250 ml.
1 pebble ≈ 25 to 30 washes.
Longer use means saving money too! By switching to solids, you buy less often, which is more economical. Preserve your solids by drying them. Discover our brand-new eco-filet in 100% natural cotton!
As you can see, solid cosmetics are a pleasure to use; they're eco-friendly, economical, fun, practical and made from naturally-sourced ingredients ! If you haven't already done so, why not give them a try (and adopt them very quickly).
