1. Whitfords
Whitfords offers truly 100% plastic-free botanical skincare. The family business works in small batches from its south east London studio, and is on a mission to provide the conscious consumer with a viable option so they don’t have to compromise their values when it comes to skincare.
The initial range of five environmentally-sensitive and ethically-sound products includes a variety of formulations – not just oil blends and butters! They offer sustainable alternatives to palm-derived ingredients, innovative bio-ferments, peptides and liposomes for targeted delivery of active ingredients. Most of the ingredients are also purchased from cooperatives that help local people, and women, in particular. Whilst there is much more to improving our world than reducing plastic waste, Whitfords don’t want to contribute further to the plastic problem, and so choose to house products in fully reusable and endlessly recyclable, stylish aluminium jars – meaning they truly are 100% plastic- free! All of Whitfords’ luxurious and gender-neutral products are also vegan-friendly and certified cruelty-free, so there is nothing to sacrifice here. What’s more, the company plants one tree with every single product sold.
Discover the brand for yourself, and enjoy 15% off Whitfords’ products using the code K9UGNTZQ. Valid until 15 June, 2020. Visit whitfords.co.uk
2. truthpaste
Looking after your teeth is as important as any other step in your skincare routine. Rid your bathroom of plastic and opt for a natural formula with truthpaste. Every reusable jar of truthpaste is packed full of essential oils that are anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Unlike conventional toothpaste, you won't find any nasty foaming agents, bulking agents or artificial chemicals here. Instead, truthpaste simply uses the natural properties of botanical ingredients to help fight bacteria that can cause decay and gum disease. It’s available in great-tasting flavours, too: peppermint & wintergreen or fennel for adults, and mild mint or sweet orange for the kids.
Veggie readers can enjoy a 15% discount off truthpaste when ordering online using the code VEGGIE15 at the checkout. Visit truthpaste.co.uk

5. NAYA
NAYA’s efficacious Everyday skincare range is committed to nature and based on science. Taking the ‘less is more’ approach, we’ve simplified the daily skincare ritual, not only because it’s more sustainable for the planet, but because it’s also more sustainable for your skin.
The multi award-winning collection contains a high concentration of plant-based nutrients and bioactive ingredients that are scientifically proven to transform the skin from within. The brand’s star ingredient – cacay oil – is sustainably sourced from the Amazon in Columbia, where NAYA works directly with farmers in harvesting the oil, to protect and cultivate 30-50 hectares within the rainforest.
The entire range is housed in glass bottles and all other materials are fully recyclable. The label is made of upcycled marble waste, and is biodegradable and water-free. Each product is vegan, cruelty-free and toxic-free.
