PLASTIC FREE

An estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste is being dumped in the world’s oceans each year.

About 90% of big businesses don't consider  environmental impact a priority in their production practices, which is the primary reason we're in the middle of an ever growing water shortage + climate emergency.

Everything from fast fashion to behemoth beauty brands + mass production based businesses all contribute to our declining environment. I won't get too deep here, but I encourage you to do your own research. For some context though, it takes 2,700 liters of water to make a SINGLE t-shirt, and 22 gallons to make ONE POUND of plastic. Of the world's water, only 3% of it is freshwater that we can actually drink. There are 7 billion+ people on the planet at this time. 

It's much easier to package products in plastic. It's easily accessible and cheap! Packaging in glass + ethically sourcing materials can be expensive. At some point, sacrifices must be made. 

This is why THE BODY COVE is zero waste + plastic free. We use muslin bags for our natural soap bars, glass for our hair + body care, + biodegradable shipping materials. While I recommend you reuse these materials or recycle, I can't tell you what to do when they leave me and get to you.

It's my hope that other small + big businesses follow suit + prioritize environmental concerns to help with preservation of the planet. We are all free to do as we choose, but it's important to remember that the Earth does not need us for her survival, but she is absolutely + abundantly crucial to ours.
