These beauty brands offer a refill

Refill systems are on the rise. There are also beauty brands in our range that offer refills. Not many, but they do exist.
As a child, I thought refill bags were stupid. It bothered me that we had to keep refilling our hand soap dispenser instead of just buying a new, pre-filled plastic one from the shop. Preferably one with an aquarium look, because I loved the colourful fish backdrops. Today I know that my parents acted in an exemplary manner. Waste cannot always be avoided with a refill system, but it can at least be reduced. I've picked out the beauty brands where you can get a refill without a guilty conscience - and save money to boot.
Cleanmaker
In January this year, the Swedish hair brand Björn Axén (one of my favourite brands for my mane, by the way) launched refill bags for shampoo and conditioner along with its organic line. According to the manufacturer, this refill system produces 80% less plastic.
In the Soeder stores in Zurich and Basel, you can have the entire range of natural soaps, shampoos, lotions and deodorants refilled in all available fragrances. With a refill, you save five francs per bottle. Before doing so, you should remove any residue from your glass bottle and, according to the manufacturer, rinse it thoroughly with water at a temperature of at least 80°C.
Make-up
Cushion foundations are practical, but quickly run out. Clarins therefore offers you a refill pot. You can get a refill cartridge for your eyeliner from Sensai, while Collistar provides supplies of loose powder.
Care and styling
The natural cosmetics brand's refill system Stop The Water While Using Me is just one of many measures through which it aims to achieve its mission to protect, save and donate water. A portion of the proceeds will go towards her water initiatives.

I was quite surprised when I stumbled across the refill bottle of the aerosol-free hairspray from Rausch. According to the manufacturer, it is suitable for refilling the 150 and 50 millilitre spray bottles.
Fragrances
Perfume manufacturers such as Kilian and Mugler also offer refill options for popular fragrances.

The latter has even installed a kind of petrol pump in various perfumeries where you can "refill" your favourite Mugler fragrance for less money.

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
