Bamboo Make-up Remover Pads

Reusable bamboo makeup remover pads from Zefiro, a Chicago zero-waste brand, to replace disposable cotton rounds and makeup wipes. A pound of cotton takes about 5,000 liters of water to grow; these wash and go again.

Who it's for: Anyone cutting down on waste, sensitive skin that hates scratchy cotton, and an easy eco-friendly stocking stuffer.

What you get: A pack of 7 soft bamboo pads, one for every day of the week.

How to use: Use with your cleanser, toner or oil cleanser, then toss in a laundry bag and wash with your towels.

Made in Chicago and stocked by a woman-owned, independent shop in Lincoln Square and downtown Naperville. Ship it, or pick it up free.
