How to Reduce Your Plastic Usage

How to Reduce Your Plastic Usage

At Sol de Janeiro, we know that sustainability is a journey—not a destination. And, we all have a role to play.

That’s why we’re switching things up from concept to cart. This includes developing all plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable, recoverable and/or made with renewable materials* alongside introducing new, plastic saving refills.

Our innovative refills allow us to reduce excess single-use plastic usage without compromising the formula you love so much. Each Sol de Janeiro refill offers the exact same amount of product, but with up to 89% less plastic packaging compared to a non-refill option.

Below, we breakdown how much plastic packaging each refill saves—and its 8oz plastic bottle (or straw) equivalent.

Brazilian Bum Bum Cream Refill is 89% less plastic packaging than the original jar. That’s equivalent to 8 water bottles or 203 plastic straws.

SOL Sustainability Fact:

Buying two refills annually saves 24 water bottles worth of plastic.
