Reusable Cotton Face Wipes

Why switch to reusable face wipes??

Do you ever wonder what happens to all those makeup wipes we use ??

We can’t find any reports on how many face wipes are used for Australia but we found that in the UK it’s said to be upward of 20millon face wipes are thrown away daily (refer to Greenerlyfe)

Let’s do a very rough and generous estimate of how many disposable face wipes are used per day in Australia. There 12million women in Australia and even if we generously estimate average women use 1 wipe per day (this allows for those that use more and those that don’t use them at all). That’s a staggering 12millon face wipes in landfill that take 100’s of years to brack down

Keep them in a cute basket or container in the bathroom and use them with toner, cleanser, or makeup remover solution instead of disposable cotton balls/wipes. To wash them just pop them in a small laundry bag with your towels.

Why are these are better?

Our reusable cotton face wipes are more eco-friendly than the normal disposable makeup wipes and many of the reusable ones as well!

We have made our wipes from reclaimed cotton flannelette that was heading to landfill yet it still had a lot of life left to offer. We just needed to give the fabric a new identity and bring it into the 21st century. Made from reclaimed vintage flannelette with plenty of life left and loads of character.

If you’re using two balls/wipes a day that comes to 730 that you’re saving from the landfill per year (plus approx $30).

Unlike most reusable face wipes ours are square for 2 reasons

1. There is a LOT less fabric waste with square wipes. In fact, we almost have zero waste.
2. Square wipes are not only easier to cut but also easier to overlock the edges which is saving us time and in turn your saving money.
