Consumers are looking for more sustainable products, including beauty and personal care items, which can generate excessive waste, 120 billion units by one estimate, much of which is plastic.

Plastic isn’t just used for packaging, but even disposable grooming items, such as razors, combs, toothbrushes, and body scrubbers. Unlike the ancient pyramids, the non-plastic bathroom is still in living memory, and in the face of an environmental crisis, some are revisiting the recent past and creating personal care products out of natural ingredients that come packaged sustainably.
