Local, responsible and zero waste purchasing for our planet
On April 22, every year, we celebrate Earth Day. For us, this is yet another reminder that we are faced with an urgent need to act to protect our planet. Fortunately, the universe of possibilities seems to be expanding a little more and more to allow us to live better with our environment.
At Idoine, we are also aware of the fact that supporting the environmental cause comes with a mental burden, often greater for women, who make up the majority of our clientele. Indeed, women support environmental protection more than men, which can be a source of stress for them. In an effort to make eco-responsible alternatives more accessible in terms of cosmetics, Idoine offers a deposit service on its empty containers, as well as several zero waste products . One of these products, of which we are very proud, is our reusable tampon, produced in collaboration with Öko Créations , also a local company.
In addition to using eco-friendly unbleached hemp fiber, these tampons have been designed to last beyond 6 years. In addition to reducing your amount of waste, your wallet will also benefit. What's more, disposable tampons, often containing insecticides, pesticides and chlorine, can cause irritation, allergies and increased skin problems. Thus, we benefit at all levels from using products which are thought and designed according to their eco-responsible nature and gentleness for you, through the ingredients used and their local manufacturing.
In short, the choices of “turnkey” cosmetic products, that is to say both healthy for your body, your wallet and the environment, are what motivates our team to join forces with employees wearing the same values as us. In this way, we want you to be able to make choices that are both informed and hassle-free.
