Since the recent uproar for plastic waste, it was announced that wipes could be one of the next single-use plastics to be banned in the UK. Since many people use them in their daily routines whether it's to wipe surfaces or to remove makeup we can all play our part and help the environment without ditching the wipes completely.
Did someone say biodegradable wipes? Yes, please! Nivea have recently bought out their own biodegradable cleansing wipes* which are made with 100% renewable plant fibres and are enriched with organic argan oil and aloe vera.

Full list of ingredients:
Aqua, Isopropyl Stearate, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Tocopherol, Glycerin, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Sodium Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, Benzyl Alcohol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionene, Geraniol and Parfum.
These facial wipes are a complete game changer to the beauty industry! I love using these as the first step in my makeup removal process as they remove around 85% of my makeup when doing a full face. If I've just got a light base on then I use these and then go straight in with a toner.

The wipes aren't dripping in serum, however, they do do a great job at removing makeup, especially around my nose area where normally there is always excess left over. They don't leave your skin feeling dry, red or irritated but rather soft which I was surprised at as normally wipes can leave my skin feeling fairly parched.

The packaging has a really secure seal and I've been using these wipes throughout the period of a month now and every time I go back into the pack the wipes haven't dried out. You get 25 wipes in the packet which, depending on how often you wear makeup, is a fair amount. Like I said, I've been using them for a month and I've got about a third of the packet to go.

Why not switch out your wipes with these biodegradable ones! What are your thoughts on these wipes, are they a step in the right direction and ones you need to get on board with? Thanks for reading,
