Our favourite plastic-free NZ Brands

Discovering high-quality, plastic-free products can be a game-changer for both your routine and the planet. Here are three of my all-time favourite New Zealand brands and their standout products that I’ve been loving for years.

Dust & Glow
Top pick: Daily Face Polisher

This gentle cleanser is suitable for my very sensitive, eczema-prone skin and leaves my face feeling refreshed without any plastic waste.

Solid Oral Care

Favourite product: mint toothpaste tabs 

Using these mint toothpaste tabs is like a party in your mouth! They offer a refreshing, plastic-free alternative to traditional toothpaste tubes (1.5 billion plastic toothpaste tubes go to landfill each year)

Caliwoods

Essential Item: metal reusable razor
I’ve been using my Caliwoods metal reusable razor for over five years now! Durable and reliable, it travels with me everywhere, reducing plastic waste one shave at a time.

    Why Choose Plastic Free Sunscreen

    Better for You

    Traditional plastic sunscreen bottles are often bulky and prone to leaking, especially during flights. The last thing you want on your vacation is to deal with a messy spill in your luggage. Our leak-proof tins are ideal for your backpack, kids' school bags, and both domestic and international travel.

    Better for the Planet

    Plastic sunscreen bottles are difficult, if not impossible, to recycle and often end up in landfills, where they can pollute oceans and waterways. By opting for plastic-free sunscreen, you help reduce this harmful impact on our planet.
