The Refill Option is provided in a 30 ml recyclable foil pack specially designed for natural skin care products. This will allow re-use of existing containers, to encourage a more sustainable circular approach to skin care.
The emptied foil packs can be discarded in the plastic kerbside bins. In the future we hope to develop an up-cycling approach.
However, the containers will need to be cleaned before refilling to avoid microbial contamination and spoiling of the Refill product.
• Cleaning and drying of the glass bottle and push pump is necessary to ensure that these items are absolutely dry/moisture free before adding any Refill, especially if the product is an Oil-based, such as this Product.
• Using only bottles and pumps that are fully dried is very important to avoid microbial contamination.
Cleaning & Drying Process:
• Add 1 – 2 drops of the dishwashing liquid to the glass bottles, half fill the bottle with warm water.
• Re-insert the push pump, close the nozzle with your finger and shake it, a few times until any of the product remaining on the inside of the bottle is washed from the inside wall.
• Discard the soapy wash.
• Repeat until it is evident that there is no product left inside the bottle, i.e. only bits floating in the washing water.
• Add another drop of dishwashing liquid to the bottle and replace the push pump.
• Now push the soapy water through the pump to wash the pump and nozzle.
• Repeat the water only step a few times to remove any trace of soap.
• Shake the nozzle to remove any water, until only air is flowing through.
• With a hairdryer blow into the bottle to dry inside.
• Use the hair dryer to blow through the pump nozzle, drying the residual moisture.
• Leave bottle and the push pump on paper towel, overnight, in a warm part of the house, to ensure that both are properly dry.
• If the next day, you can still see some moisture in the bottle or any part of the push pump, shake and blow with the hairdryer until the water is gone.
