5 Eco-Conscious Products Our Beauty and Health Editor Loves

Glynn has to be extra diligent about sun protection because of her fair skin tone. She’s been reaching for Australian Gold’s new Face Lotion with SPF 50 and Body Lotion with SPF 30. The brand housed the plant based formulas in recycled packaging (over 50 percent of the tube is made from recycled material) and formulated them to be reef-safe. “They're really moisturizing formulas, yet don’t leave behind that gross tacky feeling or a white cast,” Glynn says. “Plus, anything with coconut oil, especially in the summer, is great because it’s light but naturally hydrating.”

Integrating a reusable water bottle into your everyday routine is one of the easiest ways you can cut down on your plastic use. While there are myriad on the market now, Glynn’s personal favorite is the HydroMate. “It's a full gallon, which is great since I’ve been trying to be better about drinking more water lately,” she says. She goes on to explain how purchasing a reusable bottle was crucial for her lifestyle. “I grew up in New Jersey where the tap water isn’t fantastic and I cringe thinking about how many plastic water bottles I used to go through.”

Glynn opts for these shampoo bars—which are packaged in paper—for her fine hair. “They are really hydrating and they definitely help cut down on plastic consumption,” she says.

If you love to cook the way Glynn does, she highly recommends getting these Stojo bowls for how they collapse and save space. “I cook a ton for myself, my friends, and my boyfriend,” she says. “There are always leftovers and I’ve found that I've been using fewer plastic bags because these are so great for storage.”

Glynn uses Plus’s new waterless body cleanser, which features dissolvable packaging that washes down the drain without a trace once you’re done sudsing up. “It’s such a cool concept and I’ve been really enjoying the formula,” says Glynn.
