Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy

Huxley is an awesome brand - particularly if you have dry skin. This luxe, cruelty-free brand is built around desert ingredients to rescue parched and thirsty skin such as prickly pear and jojoba. Plus, its packaging is as refined and as elegant as its formulas. The chic minimalism looks good on any bathroom shelf.
Huxley's Secret of Sahara Oil-Essence is generally suitable for sensitive skin, with a number of skincare superstars (e.g. Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem extract, glycerin etc). Just be aware that it contains a small amount of added fragrance, so avoid if you are allergic or reactive to perfume.
All of Huxley's products are paraben-free and generally considered quite 'clean', depending on how you define it (there's no universal definition of what constitutes 'natural' or 'clean' skincare, unhelpfully). The brand doesn't use mineral oils, SLS, phthalates or PEGs, but some of its formulas include fragrances and alcohol (in small amounts, as a stabilizer).
Huxley's Secret of Sahara Oil-Essence is unlikely to cause irritation, even for those whose skin doesn't react well to richer oils because it is very lightweight. However, as with any new skincare product, patch test first.
Thanks to its lightweight texture (like a watery jelly), Huxley's Secret of Sahara Oil Essence absorbs quickly into the skin withut a hint of greasiness.
More than evening out the skin tone, Huxley's Secret of Sahara's Oil Essence is restorative and hydrating, thanks to prickly pear and cactus extract. It also does a good job at calming irritation-related redness, helping skin appear more even in that sense. For traditional hyperpigmentation concerns however, opt for a vitamin C or acid exfoliant.
Huxley's Secret of Sahara's Oil-Essence is meant to soothe and rehydrate skin. If your complexion is beginning to feel drier than the Sahara desert, then this essence will be your oasis!
Even though it's described as an oil essence, Huxley's Secret of Sahara Oil Essence is more like a light jelly that sinks into the skin quickly - without a hint of oiliness or greasiness. It's oil-like, but not quite a traditional facial oil.
