Don't panic, fortunately there are plenty of very fine brands without microplastics. So, if you also prefer to use microplastic-free cosmetics, we'd like to help you get started.
Shampoo
Shampoos or conditioners without microplastics abound. Microplastic-free shampoo is often seen in the form of shampoo bars. These look like a bar of soap, but work just like regular shampoo. An added benefit is that shampoo bars do not require packaging.
For example, try the shampoo bars from Happy Soaps.
Toothpaste
Toothpaste and plastic, of course, we don't have to explain at all. We just don't want to. It is bizarre that the well-known toothpaste brands stuff their toothpaste with plastic. The more sustainable choice is toothpaste in the form of tablets, free of microplastics and without the plastic packaging (which is poorly recyclable).
For example, try tablets from Smyle or Weleda
Deodorant
Traditional polluting deodorant cans are no longer necessary. Spreadable deodorants also work great! Nothing more than natural ingredients for effective sweat protection.
For example, try deodorants from Nuud or We love the planet
