Over the last twelve months or so, there’s been a real shift within the beauty world in regards to sustainability. There’s a real emphasis on the environment, and how our choices can negatively impact the environment. One good example are cotton buds. They’ve always typically has plastic stalks, tipped with cotton. Now however, UK brands are having to use paper stalks as it’s a lot more sustainable than plastic, and also rid the ocean and beaches of single-use plastic cotton buds.
Resolute Bamboo Care Reusable Makeup Remover Pads
One brand that really cares about the environment is Resolute Bamboo Care. Every single one of their products are manufactured with the earth in mind, whether it be biodegradable toothbrushes or reusable makeup pads. Resolute Bamboo Care are a small, family run UK based business, with a mission to increase the speed of transition from plastic to biodegradable, ethical materials.
As a brand, they really care about every little thing, for example deciding what materials they use, down to the labels on the packaging. All products are delivered in 100% recyclable kraft boxes, and even their address labels are made from 100% recycled material.
The Resolute Bamboo Care Reusable Makeup Remover Pads come in a cute set of 10 washable cotton pads, as well as a laundry bag for £11.99. I think that’s a really great price. I’ve purchased reusable cotton pads from Amazon twice, as they’ve been around that price without a laundry bag, and they haven’t been half as decent in terms of quality either.
These reusable makeup remover pads can be used for any step within your makeup routine, and not necessarily the removal stage. You could use them for applying cleanser, toner or essence, or you can even use them for nail polish removal.
If you’ve never tried washable cotton pads, you have to try the Resolute Bamboo Care Reusable Makeup Remover Pads as they’re such high quality pads. They’re a nice size, and the edges are so brilliantly stitched meaning they won’t fray or look tired in just a few uses.
If you think a cotton pad is soft, these pads are on another level. They genuinely feel like silk on the skin, and they feel as if they’re getting even softer with each was too. Something I personally hated with using cotton pads, is the annoying lint fibres you’d inevitably get in your lashes and inside your eye. There’s no lint whatsoever with the Resolute Bamboo Care Reusable Makeup Remover Pads, and they’re so much more gentle on the skin too.
The Resolute Bamboo Care Reusable Makeup Remover Pads are made from 70% Bamboo and 30% Cotton, and the laundry bag is made from 100% unbleached cotton. You can wash the pads by putting them inside the laundry bag and putting them in the washing machine at 30 degrees celcius, or they can be hand washed.
Resolute Bamboo Care recommend not using fabric softener on them, as it can reduce their efficacy. What’s amazing about these particular bamboo cotton pads, is that they can be washed upto 1000 times. When you consider the average pack of 50 cotton pads is around £2, and they’re single use, it’s incredible to get 10 pads and a laundry bag for £11.99 making them extremely cost effective, and considerably better for the environment too which is the most important thing.
Resolute Bamboo Care have also partnered with Care Packages UK to donate care packages to hospitals all over London for those that are suffering due to the global crisis. The care package contains a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, vaseline, shower gel and hand cream. They have donated an initial 50 bamboo toothbrushes to care packages, and pledge to donate a toothbrush for every toothbrush sold through their website – you can find information on the initiative here.
