Faith in Nature X H&B : Creating your at-home refill shop
Buying your favourite hair and body care products in bulk and refilling at home is a great way to reduce your plastic consumption. Plus, it means never running out of everyday bathroom essentials. Imagine always having a bumper supply of your favourite shampoo, conditioner and body wash!
Why refill your shampoo and body wash at home?
In case you’re not already convinced to join the refill revolution, there are so many reasons why it’s a smart move. We’ve listed some key benefits of ditching single-use plastic in favour of refillables, below:
1. Reduced plastic use
One of the most obvious positives of using refillable products is the Aside from the obvious reduction in plastic. This is a great benefit if you’re an eco-conscious person. So, if you’re trying to find more ways to support the planet, opting for products like shampoo, conditioner and body wash will help you to use less plastic in your day-to-day life.
2. Fewer trips to the shop
Another benefit of using refillable beauty products is that it means fewer trips to the shops or fewer orders, if you prefer to shop online. And that in turn helps to save you money and time!
3. It’s cost effective
A slightly more unexpected positive of using refillables is that it may cost less in the long run. A lot of people swear by bulk-buying, as it often works out better value for money than purchasing smaller bottles. Plus, you might find that you end up saving on delivery fees for your online orders as well.
4. Handy for travel and gym
As if we hadn’t already given you enough reasons to refill at home, there’s more. Home refilling allows you to decant your beloved bathroom products quickly and easily into extra-small bottles to take with you when you’re on the go.
It’s a useful tip if you’re travelling by air and need to take liquid restrictions into account – or if you just need to travel light. And if you or anyone else in your household is a dedicated swimmer or gym-goer, just pop a few drops of shampoo, conditioner and body wash into miniature bottles ready for the changing rooms. Top tip! Why not reuse mini bottles from hotel rooms or samples and stop them from going to waste?
Where can I store my refills?
Luckily, refill bottles come in a range of sizes, and they’re often designed to slot into the smallest of spaces. So, you can tuck your refills tidily away in an airing cupboard, or find a nook for them under the washbasin.
But why hide your refills away when you can proudly show them off? With a bit of careful planning, you can create a dedicated mini refill station that’s cute and functional. Just line your refill bottles up side-by-side on a windowsill or wall-mounted shelf. Add a house plant to boost the natural aesthetic, or a colour-coordinated candle in your favourite aroma for instant spa vibes.
Of course, you don’t have to keep your refills in your bathroom. Stow them away anywhere you have a little space in your home: kitchen cupboards, under the bed, below the stairs… you get the idea. As long as you decant the liquid into smaller bottles for everyday use, it doesn’t matter where you keep your refills.
What containers should I use for refills?
If you’re going to refill at home, you’ll need containers to decant your liquids into. It’s best to opt for a bottle with a pump if possible, so that you can keep on using your product without any faff. The Faith In Nature Refill-A-Bottle is made from recyclable aluminium and comes with a handy, recyclable pump. With a capacity of 450ml, it’s the perfect vessel for your bathroom products in the day-to-day.
Thinking of ways to mark your refillable bottles? We recommend trying stickers, swing-tags, waterproof markers, elastic bands, colourful ribbons or thread for this. Or maybe you’ve got a more creative idea? Hey presto! Your very own, personalised bottles to showcase in the shower with pride.
Which refillable products should you use?
Not sure which refillable products to get? Faith in Nature offer a wide range of refill shampoos, conditioner and body wash to choose from.
And they’re made with essential oils and natural origin aroma, so you can take in amazing scents every time you shower. We’ve picked out four of our most-loved fragrances for the range. Choose shampoo, conditioner and body wash in:
A special size for smaller spaces
The Faith in Nature refills come in dinky 2.5-litre bottles, designed for those who want to refill their shampoo, conditioner and body wash at home, but who don’t have lots of space to play with. Made of recyclable plastic, they hold the equivalent of six of our standard 400ml bottles, meaning a lot less plastic and a lot more of the products you love. Check out the dimensions to see just how compact these brilliant bottles are:
- Width: 9.5cm
- Height: 22cm
- Depth: 14cm
This means a complete set of shower essentials (shampoo, conditioner and body wash) would take up a width of less than a 30cm ruler. Neat, hey?
