Disposing of Your Old Cosmetics

We’re so confident that you’re going to love using KiteNest’s all natural products that you’ll be wondering what to do with your old ones. You could stack them all up and create a defensive wall around your bed but chances are that will start to loose its novelty after a couple of weeks.

Everyone thinks about what to do with the containers, recycle them, reuse them or up-cycle them but what about the contents? Maybe you’re inspired by George’s Marvellous Medicine but I wouldn’t recommend it. The thing to consider when finding somewhere to dispose of your old products is if you pour them down the drain or into the black bin where do they really go?

If you’re concerned about putting this stuff on your skin then why would you send it out into landfill sites and the oceans?

Well for once that’s enough of me; Lorraine Dallmeier, Botanical Skincare Scientist and Biologist, has written a great article here about how difficult it is to get rid of this stuff.
