Why we make you keep the case

Most of a lipstick's packaging weight is the case. Ours is aluminium and made to last years, so the part you throw away is small and recyclable.

What a refill saves

Lip Tint, case vs refill
	Case + tint	Refill
Price	$24	$16
Packaging	Aluminium case + paper box	Paper sleeve
Goes in the bin	Nothing, if you keep the case	The cartridge, via empties back

What happens to your empties

Empties sent back are sorted by material and recycled: aluminium and glass go back into new material, the small plastic cartridges go to a specialist recycler.
