that is also becoming unfashionable in
beauty products. Clarins, for instance,

The simplest thing to do to
reduce waste is opt for glass over
plastic packaging whenever you
can. That said, Bybi, a great

If you’re using a sunscreen
while swimming in the sea,
and it is not labelled as
biodegradable (most of them
are not), then some of it is
almost certainly washing off
and harming the corals. The
major ingredient to avoid
is oxybenzone, and several
Mexican beaches are banning
entry to those with non-
biodegradable lotions.SULPHATES (OR SODIUM LAURYL
SULPHATES, SLS, IN PARTICULAR)
Nowadays, many shampoos are SLS-free as they can

Dash & Albert transforms indoor/outdoor textiles, which are often
made out of non-recycled polypropylene, into a stylish option
for the eco-conscious. Made out of recycled plastic bottles, its
PET line comes in a range of textures, patterns, and colours. We
especially love the PET decorative pillows and matching pouffes,
which are a very easy (and flexible) way to add a pop of colour and
refresh your yacht’s interior for the summer season. Links indoor/
