Plastic-Free July: A Movement for Conscious Living
What it is, why it matters, and how we’re here to support you
Every July, millions of people worldwide take on the Plastic-Free July Challenge.
This is a global movement to reduce single-use plastics in our homes, workplaces, and daily lives.
But this isn’t about perfection.
It’s about awareness. About doing what we can, where we are, with what we have.
At FastingHouse Naturals, we’ve always believed that small, consistent choices are what create meaningful change for both our planet and our personal care.
🌎 What Is Plastic-Free July?
Plastic-Free July began in Australia in 2011 and has grown into a global campaign encouraging people to reduce or eliminate their use of single-use plastics. Think:
Grocery bags
Cling wrap
Plastic skincare packaging
Water bottles
Plastic pumps and droppers
The goal is to build habits that continue long after July ends and to inspire brands (like ours) to be part of the solution.
Why Plastic-Free Matters in Skincare
Most conventional beauty products come in plastic that ends up in landfills or oceans. Worse yet, many plastic items labeled “recyclable” never actually get recycled due to contamination or lack of infrastructure.
Choosing glass packaging, refillable options, and compostable materials makes a real impact:
🌿 Reduces landfill waste
🌊 Keeps microplastics out of waterways
🌞 Supports a cleaner future for the next generation
How FastingHouse Naturals Supports Your Plastic-Free Journey
We’ve built our business around low-waste values—and this month, we’re highlighting just how beautiful plastic-free self-care can be.
Here’s how we’re supporting you this July:
✅ Plastic-Free Product Packaging
Most of our products come in reusable glass jars and bottles, metal tins, or compostable kraft bags—no single-use plastics here.
✅ New: The Naturally Nice Gift Set
Our limited-edition July bundle is completely plastic-free, featuring your favorite handmade body scrub, rose hydrosol toner and facial oil. It’s self-care you can feel good about giving (or keeping).
✅ Sustainable DIY Scrub Classes
Both of our body scrub workshops this month focus on reusable, refillable ingredients and packaging—because making it yourself is one of the most sustainable things you can do.
4 Simple Ways to Go Plastic-Free This Month:
Swap plastic bottles for bars – Try shampoo and soap bars with minimal packaging.
Carry a reusable water bottle – It’s a small change that adds up fast.
Ditch plastic pumps and droppers – Opt for glass bottles with aluminum or natural caps.
Refill when you can – From skincare to cleaning supplies, refilling reduces your footprint.
✨ A Month Worthy of Repeating ✨
Plastic-Free July is more than a challenge, it’s a mindset. One of choosing better, slower, and more intentionally.
Thank you for making these choices with us.
We’re here for every scrub, every self care moment, and every step toward a more sustainable, plastic-free life.
With gratitude,
Courtney
