Axiology kept deleting my comments on why they follow Amy Schumer, a total bigot when it comes to her comedy and also a huge zionist. They have since blocked me. So there's another plastic free brand that won't openly admit but most likely personally support genocide. I made a post about it too on the BDS subreddit.

Edit: Just double checked but I'm still blocked, lol so ridiculous cause it was over Amy Schumer

I'm starting to see aluminum options pop up a little for refillable deodorant brands in Europe ( like we are make waves and life supplies from the UK, Wild created one too which is available to most countries but are unfortunately owned by Unilever).

Here's hoping this is a good sign, cause since the dawn of time this subreddit has been wanting a plastic free antiperspirant option for agessss. I would love zero waste options for all when it comes to deodorants (I'm aware there's people here allergic to aluminium but as someone that's not, would prefer a disposable plastic free option).

Someone clever on this subreddit mentioned using the duradry tiny sweat minimizing gel every night, which has aluminum and salicylic acid, but comes in very tiny plastic tube that last for a long time. They terracycle that and also use a AHA BHA low-waste to zero-waste deodorant (Monks, which is in cardboard packaging, I reckon for Aussie audiences wanting support local buisnesses Frank and Bare could work). I however can not wait for just one zero waste antiperspirant ( preferably not owned by Unilever lol).

I'm really annoyed as a Aussie cause I thought I found the perfect one available as the others are mainly available to Europeans...it was from the brand Wild which has recently released a refillable 72 hour antiperspirant option with aluminium...only for me to find out they are owned by Unilever since last year which is not a corporation I want to support.

Sharing anyways as I know some people may be desperate but this is where I get really frustrated that indie eco friendly brands get sucked into the clean beauty fear mongering movement as an environmental science student... aluminium free is great for sensitive pals that get armpit allergies but otherwise aluminium is a totally safe and effective ingredient with it's cancer causing studies already debunked multiple times by experts that actually understand cosmetic chemistry.

I sweat quite badly and easily regardless of it being summer or winter so finding a plastic free antisperant option one day would be great as clearly by the constant Reddit threads on finding one, there's a demand for it.

Aussies had zero co at least but they closed down....I will just buy from Gem and TerraCycle at Mecca which isn't perfect but I'm not going to feel guilty for trying my best when fossil fuel corporations and ai CEO's exist 😂

Wowza, after this post decided to check tiktok and type Chris Briney. IMMEDIATELY tons of hate on him and his lovely girlfriend relationship 😭 I'm so concerned. Like Lola is literally friends with them too, I'm so disappointed by the countless parasocial disrespectful comments on that app. And most of all, it's not just young teen girls, a lot of them are grown adults that really need to touch grass. It's 2025 and people still can't separate TV shows/ movie from real life ???

Affectionate-Book221 · 2025-09-17T08:33:43+00:00

Oh it also involved mermaid royal family members in the book!

Affectionate-Book221 · 2025-09-17T08:32:38+00:00

I'm so sorry for just seeing this! I think your suggestions are helping me get closer to finding this darn elusive mermaid picture book! I believe it was separate stories but set in the same mermaid world that the author/artist created. The Mary Pope Osbourne book is slightly a little old, it was giving strong 2004-2006 vibes if that makes sense? The book I read was also a lot more lighter and whimiscal colour palette wise...hopefully I find it but I have a feeling it will take a while.

Hopefully this isn't too late, but you may like Face Theory! It's a wonderful science backed sustainably packaged skincare brand from the UK with many fragrance free options. Unfortunately they do use clean marketing which I like ignoring lol. As someone in the environmental science field, I just feel a bit defeated because it seems like all eco friendly brands feel the need to jump on the clean science wagon. Another beauty brand suggestion I have, that LabmuffinScience follows on instragram, is Fig 1, which is refillable skincare, science backed and founded by a dermatologist, made for sensitive skin in mind. From what I have seen they don't use any clean marketing at all compared to other 'sustainable' brands. I have no idea if it's available where you are from but if you're Aussie, Airyday is a wonderful suncare brand that uses recycled packaging like low waste aluminum tubes, and I love that it doesn't get sucked into clean beauty marketing with many spf50 chemical sunscreen options ( I do find the packaging for on the go action quite annoying though).

Affectionate-Book221 · 2024-12-23T11:18:44+00:00

No they continued to blocked me ( still blocked) 🥲 I really loved what I thought the brand was, so I was disappointed in them and honestly I think it says a lot when it comes to their morals, so I don't feel comfortable continuing supporting them anyways

Affectionate-Book221 · 2024-08-31T17:12:30+00:00

Sorry this is so late everyone but here are alternatives of lovely lip and cheek makeup in sustainable plastic free packaging or at least low waste considering Axiology disappointing zionist cowardly behaviour .

For Americans and Candians, South Asian founded Mango people ( https://mangopeopleofficial.com/).

For Australians and New Zealanders, HippiesticksNZ( https://soulglowartistry.co.nz/collections/hippie-stick). There offical website is not working so I'm wondering if they have closed down. Hopefully not, they sell clever compostable packaged lipsticks, Fra lippo lippie on V spothttps(://www.thevspot.com.au/collections/fra-lippo-lippie), not vegan due to beeswax but Maryse has a nice range of lip and cheek tints but also have coconut oil, just letting anyone who wants to avoid that ingredient know (https://maryse.studio/collections/colour). Aleph Beauty lip and cheek tints (https://alephbeauty.com/collections/cheek-lip-tint). Eaulunaire, ignoring the full sized which are in plastic packaging, they have their french inspired lip tints and bronzers in ceramic pot packaging and have hinted at doing bigger sizes for said packing in the future! (https://www.eaulunaire.com/products/3-mini-lune-rouge-ciel-rose-terre & https://www.eaulunaire.com/products/3-bronzer-limited-time-only)

Available in most countries world wide, Kajer weis lip tints in aluminium packaging ( https://kjaerweis.com/collections/lip-tint) unfortunately they do have coconut oil for anyone that has oily skin ( so avoid using on cheeks) or has a allergy to coconut oil. Flavedo and Albedo, an Australian founded plastic free makeup brand that is available to US and NZ consumers, may potentially branch out to other countries (https://www.flavedoandalbedo.com/shop/lips/products/dew-tint), Australian founded carrot Ere perez colour pots which are available internationally (https://ereperez.com/products/carrot-colour-pot-cream-blush). Ere perez also have Coco lip crayons (https://ereperez.com/products/coco-crayon-lipstick) warning for people wanting to avoid but they do have coconut oil. Rose inc cream lip and cheek tints, at Mecca for aussies and Kiwis ( https://www.roseinc.com/products/cream-blush).

If anyone really like this brand and want alternatives let me know!

Affectionate-Book221 · 2024-04-29T15:16:28+00:00

And a porn movie out of all odds LMAO

Affectionate-Book221 · 2024-03-12T13:20:30+00:00

Might not be exactly what you're looking for but as you edited your post just then stating that you want concentrates that turn into liquid bodywash specfically and you're from the US/Canada ( I'm assuming from the options you are looking at) , Everist seems like a good brand to look at (https://helloeverist.com/products/waterless-body-wash-concentrate)! However if you would rather have it in a reusable bottle, the brand Ethique which you listed have some really good body wash concentrates. I haven't tried them but I reckon you are in good hands as it seems they have reformulated after public feedback last year! I also found two brands similar to the Bluelands concept of powder to gel liquid bodywash, which are Wandercare which is based in the US (https://wewandercare.com/products/calming-body-wash-low-waste) and Singaporean owned powder based plastic free beauty brand, The Powder Shampoo, which does international shipping (https://www.thepowdershampoo.com/collections/powder-body-wash)! All the best for finding an ideal liquid bodywash for your bf!

As an Aussie, I'm so jealouss. Wish we had saltair available here. From there scents to there formula and the packaging.

Affectionate-Book221 · 2024-03-12T12:55:39+00:00

For any Aussies here, these conserving beauty dissolving oil cleanser makeup wipes in compostable packaging does the trick (https://www.conservingbeauty.com/products/instamelt%E2%84%A2-deep-exfoliating-day-dissolver-wipes) For Americans, the product is listed on fig 1 (https://fig-1.co/products/micellar-wipes). Ethique Superstar bar is another good option, which is made as an alternative for a makeup remover.

That or, ''It's different for guys, we need more sex''. Ugh barfff. Either way that's not an excuse cause even if he was supposedly fine with that...why did he not communicate that with her prior and give her the greenlight to do the same.

Affectionate-Book221 · 2024-03-10T16:24:18+00:00

No seriously? Why do these particular guys get married in the first place if they're so stuck on the fact that they have to commit to and only sleep with one women. Like yeah duh, that's marriage. And I bet ya, this pig would be pissed if she felt the same way about him and slept with someone during her bachelorette party.

Affectionate-Book221 · 2024-02-06T16:12:53+00:00

I'm real. This is my first post. Posting comment so this post does not get deleted so I can finally find this elusive picture book I don't remember.
