Jeśli jesteście z nami tu trochę, to wiecie że sukcesywnie wymieniamy opakowania naszych kosmetyków na te z @prevented.ocean.plastic.

Pierwsze były olejki do ciała, które zmieniliśmy z dużą dozą nieśmiałości, badając trochę Was i siebie jak się z tym czujemy i jak reagujecie na plastik. Później wskoczyły kosmetyki powstałe z @martyna.chomacka, która jak tylko usłyszała o tej opcji, była cała na tak i popchnęła nas w tej decyzji 🫣

Kolejną zmianą były sole kąpielowe, których opakowanie zmieniło się najmocniej, że szklanego, ciężkiego słoika na rzecz plastiku. Ale i w tej zmianie daliście nam ogrom wsparcia i ciepło ją przyjęliście. To zaszczyt mieć tu tak świadomą i wspaniałą społeczność. 🥹💛

Teraz gdy już zyskaliśmy pewność w słuszności naszych decyzji o zmianach, wpakowaliśmy wszystkie nasze peelingi w opakowania z @prevented.ocean.plastic 💛❤️‍🔥

Yes it’s true, we landed six months later due to this bottle.
Greenwashing would have just taken an afternoon.
But good things come to those who wait 😉

100% @prevented.ocean.plastic
Recycled and recyclable. No box. No leaflets ♻️
The longer scenic route, all the way.

It has had a life before ours. You decide if it gets another.

What is the most pointless packaging you have ever opened? 👇

Had such a fun week in Uuuuutrecht with the amazing @queenkingofthecourt family 👑🧡

Thank you for reminding me and showing the world just how special this game can be! The people, the places, the moments… there’s really nothing quite like it 🏐

Huge shoutout to the big man Ooooo Ahhhh @marttiisaar for teaming up with me this week! Balled out, but more importantly, I had such a good time hanging out and getting to know you beyond the court 😎 Estonia and the family next 🍻🙌🏿

Funny how some weeks mean a little more than you realise while you’re living them

Grateful for this one. For all of it. 🥹💙

We still find it wild that this conversation, the work by @drshannahswan and the new documentary @infertiledocumentary by @edscottclarke is not a mainstream discussion considering the impact of peoples daily life! These stats do not get enough airtime “sperm count has dropped by roughly 50% over the last 40 years.” That’s not a typo, that’s the actual data. A huge piece of that story comes down to phthalates and the everyday plastics we’re all swimming in, and it’s exactly what Dr Shanna Swan has spent decades researching.

This new documentary @infertiledocumentary from Ed Scott-Clarke pulls a lot of this together, with Dr Shanna Swan and some of the scientists who first flagged endocrine-disrupting chemicals as a real threat to human health. This is the kind of hard watch that changes how you think about the plastic in your bathroom cabinet, your kitchen, your kid’s toothbrush.

This is exactly why we started @bambuubrush once @tommie.travels and @doitlikeduds saw the direct impact of plastic polllution on human lives across Asia!

♻️ SUSTAINABLE SUNDAY: SYMBOLS MATTER 🌊
Ever wondered what those recycling symbols on your shopping actually mean?

Today’s challenge is to decode the recycling symbols on the products you buy and find out what can, and can’t be recycled. Understanding the symbols can help us make more informed choices and reduce the amount of waste that could end up in our oceans.

We’re teaming up with our friends at Prevented Ocean Plastic, who have some handy tips to help you become a recycling symbol expert!

Head to their website to learn more, then take a look at the packaging in your own home. Can you spot the difference between recyclable, recycled and ocean-bound plastic?

We had a marvelous workshop dubbed "Get rid of Single-Use plastics" — and our message was loud and clear 🔊

🗣️ Our voice is united: Governments must completely phase out single-use plastic production. No more fake bans. No more loopholes. No more empty promises.

Here in Uganda, we've seen countless inactive single-use plastic bans — policies that exist on paper but fail on the ground due to ineffective implementation and lack of follow-up. Despite bans in 2007, 2009, 2015, 2018, and 2021,kaveera still floods our markets, clogs our drainage systems, and pollutes our wetlands.

📊 The reality? Uganda generates over 600 metric tonnes of plastic waste daily — yet less than 40% is properly collected and managed. The rest ends up in our environment, blocking waterways and fueling the devastating floods we keep seeing in Kampala and beyond.

We are tired of speeches without action. Tired of bans that are never enforced. Tired of politicians who talk green but keep issuing permits to plastic manufacturers.

The time for real change is NOW. Not tomorrow. Not "soon." NOW.

Join us. Raise your voice. Demand a complete phase-out of single-use plastics — not just on paper, but on the ground.

💚 Say NO to fake bans. Say YES to real action.

it’s not just what’s inside that counts 🌊

our bottles are made using @prevented.ocean.plastic -plastic collected from coastal communities before it has the chance to reach the ocean.

by giving this plastic a second life, we’re helping reduce plastic pollution while supporting local communities involved in its collection.

we know that looking after your skin shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment, with our rebrand, you’ll find larger sizes at no extra cost (giving you more of the products you love) and more sustainable packaging choices that reduce waste♻️

Better starts here🫧
