Terralina :: Rethink Recycling.
Submitted by Organic Beauty View Blog
I’d love to be more creative in my reuse of packaging, but I’m just so quick to toss a bottle into the recycling bin and call it a day. I used to be frustrated by the empty jam and olive jars that my roommate would wash, dry and collect, but sure enough they’d find a purpose storing cotton swabs or safety pins or buttons when I least expected it. The lesson here? Sometimes re-using is the best recycling. The founders of Terralina, Gina Garrubbo and Patricia Bazán, definitely fall into that category of creative recyclers. And they may just convert me yet. See, when you purchase a pot of Terralina’s Facial Moisturizer, an immensely-hydrating cream that contains lupine protein to inhibit the breakdown of collagen, you also receive a soy wax tealight candle. The connection? When you’ve used all of your moisturizer, the tealight tucks perfectly into the frosted glass jar and makes a pretty votive. (more…)
