Kjear Weis’ refillable organic mascara is a great option. Although the tube itself is non-recyclable due to the metal it’s made of, the tube is meant to serve as a life-long piece that you can purchase replaceable cartridges for.  |  FIND IT HERE

A little bit different than the rest, this product from Fat and the Moon has multiple uses including using it as a mascara. It has a sunflower oil base and is highly pigmented. You would need your own wand but the eye coal comes in a recyclable aluminum pot.  |  FIND IT HERE

Another mascara from 100% Pure. This one is vegan and gluten-free and infused with maracuja oil to prevent clumping and flaking. Bring in any empties from 100% Pure and they’ll recycle them!  |  FIND IT HERE

DON’T THROW OUT YOUR OLD MASCARA WANDS!

Donate them to an animal sancuary instead! Once you are ready to part ways with your mascara send the wand to APPALACIAN WILDLIFE REFUGE in North Carolina. Their WANDS FOR WILDLIFE program takes in old, used applicators (currently only twice a year – October & February) to help care for wildlife. They are used to remove fly eggs and larve from the fur and feathers of wild animals. Mascara wands are the perfect tool for the job because the bristles are so close together.

100% Pure’s vegan creamy, long-lasting pencil eyeliner glides easily onto lids to line and define your eyes, while nourishing skin with jojoba oil.  |  FIND IT HERE

Inika’s vegan & halal certified eye pencil is formulated with certified organic coconut oil for added softness and nourishment. |  FIND IT HERE

Elate’s brow balm is the world’s first sustainable, vegan, non-toxic and cruelty-free brow product. It comes packaed in a refillable bamboo compact. |  FIND IT HERE
