Solid soap can be wrapping free and avoid so many empty plastic containers. Test several until you find the soap that matches your style: from traditional Aleppo or Olive oil soap to colourful and playful ones. Soap durability changes a lot between brands as well.

Not only you can swap to solid soap but also solid shampoos and conditioners. It may require you to test several soaps before finding the ones that match their hair type.

• Keep in the fridge during high-temperature season, otherwise at room temperature

You can avoid some plastic by swapping your traditional plastic toothbrush for a less environmentally impact brush, in wood for example. Scan the market for your best fit: local, compostable, removable brush.
