Welcome to EarthOne: AsiaOne’s Fresh Take on Green Beauty
Hey eco‑savvy readers! AsiaOne’s new EarthOne section is all about keeping our planet happy. If you’re craving fresh, science‑backed eco tips, you’ll find them right here.
Why the Beauty Industry Muddles the Earth
The glam of glossy makeup has a darker side. Every year, over 140 million cosmetic packages are sold, and in Singapore alone more than half of them end up in landfills. That’s a lot of unused plastic waiting to take over our streets.
Refillables: The Sustainable Game Changer
Want to ditch the waste? Refillable beauty is the superhero solution. It’s cheaper, slashes packaging, and keeps the planet smiling.
Top Brands Offering Refillable Beauty Products
- Brand A – Your favorite toner, now in a reusable bottle. Just refill and go.
- Brand B – Shimmer sweeps! One refill holds a third of the original packs.
- Brand C – Moisturizer on a mission: refill, rinse, repeat.
- Brand D – Bonus: each refill ships free for the first 50 customers.
Try them out and watch your routine become greener, greener, &lpos;glow</lpos;.
Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin
Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin: A Sustainability Story Worth Telling
Everybody loves a good hero story, and Rihanna’s beauty empire is just burning bright on the quest for a greener world. If you think a glamorous lipstick can be eco‑friendly, think again—Fenty’s got a whole plan to make beauty + sustainability hand in hand.
What’s Already on the Table?
- Less packaging, more aha! moments: the brand has slashed needless packaging and swapped in recycled materials for the outer shell of shelves.
- Polished packaging that looks good and does good: a sleek new design reduces waste while keeping every product looking runway‑ready.
That’s great, but the journey isn’t stopping there.
Innovating the Future: Refills, Reuse, Repeat!
Imagine a lipstick that you can refill in style—yes, real reusable, and yes, that’s happening. Fenty has rolled out a Icon Semi‑Matte Refillable Lipstick Set (priced at $58) featuring:
- A chic, refill‑friendly case.
- Interchangeable, ready‑for‑use lipstick pods that keep the color fresh.
And the refill revolution doesn’t stop at lips. Sample the moisturiser refill bundle or the whipped body cream refill set—carefully curated to turn your daily beauty routine into a sustainable habit.
Why It Matters
Every refill means fewer plastic bottles on the planet, and with Fenty’s by‑design appeal, you’re not just saving the Earth—you’re feeling fabulous doing it. Every purchase takes you one step closer to a kinder world without sacrificing style.
Where to Grab Your Green Glow
Ready to jump in? Fenty’s entire lineup is available online through their official websites and in stores at Sephora. It’s as easy as clicking a button or visiting your local beauty counter, and you’ll be part of a movement that’s as trendy as it is responsible.
Diptyque
Diptyque’s Green Glow: Upcycled Roses & Refillable Luxe
Diptyque isn’t just sprinkling perfume on your skin—it’s sprinkling eco‑sparkle too. Their legendary Eau Rose ($209) now comes with a twist: upcycled rose extract, sourced from the leftover rosewater that gets tossed during distillation.
And that isn’t the only green move. The shop’s snazzy glass jars for hand wash and body lotion are the prettiest things in the bathroom, but it’s the refillable pouches that really tip the scales.
Fill ‘Em Up: What Refills Can You Grab?
- Velvet Hand Lotion – $69
- Exfoliating Hand Wash – $59
- Softening Hand Wash – $59
- Refills for solid perfumes and cartridges for home and car air fresheners are also available.
Drop by Diptyque in Singapore at:
Takashimaya Shopping Centre, 391 Orchard Rd,
B1 – 33A, Singapore 238872.
Open daily from 11 am to 8 pm.
Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte Tilbury Fashions the Future of Fun‑facing Beauty
Picture this: you’re slathering on the Magic Cream and the world’s taking a deep, eco‑friendly breath. That’s the vibe Charlotte Tilbury is sending your way with a whole slew of refillable, runway‑ready products.
Skincare that keeps on giving
- Magic Cream Refills – $325 – Swap the tub for a slick capsule when the original pot runs dry.
- Magic Eye Rescue Refills – $100 – Same capsule‑swap logic for those tiny eye‑conquering wonders.
Dust off the old bottles and refresh your routine without the landfill guilt.
Makeup that’s as fresh as your mindset
- Refillable lipsticks – the same iconically rich pigmented formula, just with an extra sustainability twist.
- Bronzers – because every glow‑up deserves a greener backstory.
- Eyebrow pencils – let’s be honest, those furry arcs are now guilt‑free.
All these chromatic capacities are now at your fingertips (or rather, at your fingertips — Sephora). Grab them, refill them, repeat, and keep that beauty budget as green as your conscience.
Lush
Lush: The Eco‑Friendly Cosmetics Hero
Ever wondered how a brand can be both chic and green? Meet Lush, the go‑to shop that blends bold beauty with mindful packaging. From solid shampoo bars that ditch the bottle to lipsticks that keep your wallet—and the planet—happy, Lush is redefining what “sustainable” really means.
What Makes Lush Stand Out?
- No‑Plastic Philosophy – Take a look at the Lush Refillable Lipstick Case. At $20 you get a vintage‑style, plastic‑free holder made from partially recycled aluminum and brass. It’s the perfect backstage pass for your naked lipsticks.
- Refillable Royalty – Swap out the ordinary in the most sustainable way: the same case refills with Lush’s iconic Naked Lipstick pods. Think of it as a “glow‑up” for your lips—nude for the everyday vibe or a striking brick red when you’re feeling bold.
- Zero‑Waste Zone – The entire Naked range—including bath bombs, bubble bars, and more—comes without any outer packaging. The idea? 100% waste at the shop, 100% fun when you’re finished.
Grab Your Green Goods
Lush isn’t just a boutique; it’s nationwide. In Singapore, you can find multiple Lush outlets. Prefer the convenience of your couch? The full lineup is available online, so no need to venture out if you’re craving a new shade or a splash of bathroom bliss.
Feel Good, Look Good
With Lush, every product feels as good as it looks—because when you care for yourself and the world, there’s truly no compromise. So next time you’re reaching for your lipstick, remember: the world loves fresh shade and sustainable strides alike.
Ouai
Haircare in the Never‑Ending Heat of Singapore
Living in a country that never quite puts on a coat means that shampoo and conditioner go from shelf to cabinet faster than you can say “tropical weather”. The typical Singaporean haircare routine burns through products at warp speed, especially if you’re not a master of the dry‑shampoo trick.
What Happens When Your Bottle Is Empty
Picture this: you’re on a Singapore morning, feeling the humidity bite at your scalp, and you realize you’ve run out of shampoo. Suddenly, your hair feels like it was smoothed with a rubber glove—dry, limp, and desperately in need of a deep cleanse.
Enter Ouai Refill Pouches: The Lifesaver
Ouai has swooped in with a simple but genius fix—refill pouches for practically every shampoo and conditioner on their lineup. No more buying a whole bottle only to end up with a sachet of half‑used product. With the refill option, you get the same high‑quality formula, but for $83 per pouch, so the price stays friendly while you’re actually getting the full value.
Fave Refills (and Why They Matter)
- Detox Shampoo Refill Pouch – Perfect for a deep cleanse; keep those toxins at bay without emptying a full bottle each time.
- Fine Hair Conditioner Refill Pouch – Ideal for when you’re chasing volume, softness, and a little boost of strength.
- Body cleanser and hand lotion in refill form too—because skin care can be just as over‑keep.
All these pouches not only cut costs but also have a smaller carbon footprint, a win for both your purse and the planet.
Where to Grab Them
The standard Ouai products are available on their own website and at Sephora if you prefer a physical copy. The refill pouches, though, are exclusive to the Ouai site, so a quick online hop and you’re set.
So, next time the Singapore humidity acts like a relentless hair‑damage blizzard, let the Ouai refill line be your insurance against flat, lifeless strands—and your green‑friendly back pocket’s best friend.
