There’s some great sustainable beauty products already on the market and now Londoners can make their daily beauty routines even kinder to the planet with these new ‘milk round’ style delivery services…
First up is Hackney’s Top Up Truck, an old milk float that rocks up outside your door so you can refill your empties completely plastic-free. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more sustainable, all of their toiletry products are vegan, cruelty-free, made in the UK and sourced as locally as possible. Impressive, ‘eh? You can see which parts of Hackney the truck will be floating around in via their website or you can book them to come straight to you. Just clean out your containers and you’re ready to shop.
If you don’t live in Hackney (what a shame), but do live anywhere else in Zone 1 or 2 then Circla is another new delivery service to have on your radar. These guys cycle independent brands and ethically made beauty products straight to your door. From natural skincare and vegan-friendly shower essentials, to body lotions in glass bottles and eco-friendly haircare – they’ve got quite the selection. They also offer an auto-replenishment service, so you just have to let them know when you’re on that last squeeze of moisturiser and they’ll whizz on over to save you from tears.
