Why Going Plastic Free Is More Than a Trend

Why Going Plastic Free Is More Than a Trend

We’ve heard it loud and clear, it’s time to ditch the waste. Plastic might be part of everyday beauty, but that doesn’t mean it should be. From oceans full of microplastics to overflowing landfills, the impact is impossible to ignore. That’s why we’re committed to making smarter choices, starting with our packaging.

At FFS, we know beauty should feel good for you and the planet. So we’re working towards solutions that don’t just look great on your shelf, but leave a lighter footprint too. No fluff, no faff, just small swaps that work. 

What Plastic Free Beauty Actually Means

Plastic free beauty doesn’t mean giving up the products you love. It means rethinking how they're made, packaged and delivered. It’s about choosing reusable, refillable, recyclable or compostable options where possible. And yes, even small swaps can make a big difference.

Easy Eco Swaps to Start With

Ready to make a change? Here are a few easy switches that help cut plastic waste without overhauling your whole routine:

  • Use solid cleansers instead of bottled face wash (our Facial Cleansing Bars are perfect for this)

  • Opt for refillable razors instead of disposable ones

  • Choose products in metal tins, glass jars or paper packaging when you can

  • Skip the wipes and use a flannel or reusable cleansing pad instead

  • Carry a reusable water bottle and coffee cup

  • Switch to a shampoo bar or refill station

  • Say no to plastic bags and opt for tote bags or baskets

  • Buy in bulk when you can to cut packaging

Progress Over Perfection

We get it. You don’t need to go full zero waste overnight. It’s about progress, not perfection. Start small, be consistent and swap what you can when you can. Every choice you make helps create a cleaner future.
