There’s a lot of talk about sustainable beauty in the industry, but not all eco-friendly beauty products make it past the second use. If it doesn’t feel good, smell good, or do something noticeable for your skin, it’s just taking up space. That’s why we get genuinely excited when we find refillable skincare that isn’t just good for the planet they’re actually worth reusing.
From refillable moisturisers and cult creams in sleek new pouches to low-waste packaging and climate-positive cleansers, these are the refillable beauty products we’ll keep topping up. Brands like Aēsop, Kiehl’s, and Emma Lewisham are proving that you don’t have to sacrifice performance or shelf appeal for sustainability.
Aēsop
A favourite amongst luxury loving minimalists across the globe, Aesop is committed to ensuring all packaging is refillable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. Until then, refill bottles of Aesop’s best selling Geranium leaf body cleanser and Aromatique Handwashes are available in store and online.
Dr Naomi
To help reduce excess plastic and paper packaging, Dr Naomi’s award winning serums are contained in cleverly designed refillable bullets. The airless containers help to keep formulations stable and can be interchanged across the whole range.
Emma Lewisham
As the world’s first climate-positive, 100% circular beauty brand, Emma Lewisham has pioneered new standards in climate-conscious farming, sourcing, production, consumption, and innovation. Emma Lewisham’s entire range can be refilled and reused indefinitely. We’re particularly in love with the brand and the effectiveness of their products.
Kiehl’s
In line with Kiehl’s commitment to creating responsible formulations from sustainably sourced ingredients, four of the brand’s most popular products can be refilled from pouches made with 61% less plastic. Currently, Kiehl’s refillable products are the iconic Ultra Facial Cream, the Oil Free Ultra Facial Cream, the Creme de Corps and their shampoo and conditioner.
L’Occitane
For over a decade, L’Occitane has been committed to reducing plastic waste and sourcing sustainably farmed ingredients from across the world. 31 of L’Occitane’s best selling body, hair and skin essentials are available in economically and environmentally friendly refill pouches that save an average of 85% plastic packaging. Our favourites are the iconic Almond Milk Concentrate and Almond Shower Oil.
The Secret Skincare
Another pioneer in sustainable beauty, The Secret Skincare is on a mission to fight overconsumption and packaging waste by creating highly effective, medical grade skincare that is refillable, recyclable and made to order.
