I did some food shopping for our holiday today (9 nights camping). The shop was plastic-free apart from a bottle of sun cream. I don’t feel ready to branch out into plastic-free varieties yet. I suspect (although I have not investigated this at all) that they may also be more natural type products, and I have tried something like that on Little MIH (but with packaging) when she was a baby – it was thick and left a white sheen, contained beeswax, so made her hair instantly greasy, and seemed to give her spots – the effect was a little like a 6 month acne-riven teenager. Also, perhaps more importantly, I had not been at all prepared, needing the sun cream the same day, and unfortunately preparation is key a lot of the time for zero-waste packaging.
The worst fail was getting home and realising we already had spare sunscreen in the cupboard, so I needn’t have bought it. And, I blame hungriness and lack of thinking capacity, I bought one with a pump, when one without would have at least been much more recyclable! Triple doh!
Fail
Suncream bottle.

Mrs M-i-h Don’t forget to bring any pumps from those sorts of bottles when you come to stay – they can be recycled on the Win on Waste days at Poole and Bournemouth libraries! love, Granny M-i-h
