Alongside a mild anaesthetic, the product also contains soothing aloe vera. The green product contains air bubbles that make the product visu- ally appealing. The bottle is sealed with a “push down and turn” twist cap. www.walgreens.com All-purpose cleaner from Home made simple “Home made simple”, actu- ally the name of a TV show about tips for home and lifestyle, is using its own renown to bring a range of household products onto the market in collaboration with Procter & Gamble. These include an all-purpose cleaner scented with lemon in a transpar- ent bottle with an adjustable pump dispenser. The sleeve label on the back draws attention to the natu- ral ingredients of the product and gives tips for separating bottle, cap and label to make recycling easier. www.homemadesimple.com Love beauty and planet in 100% recyclate A few years ago, the brand “love beauty and planet” was set up in the USA by a group of people with the intention of combining sophisticated products and ecology. Recently, the brand part of the Unilever group has also become available in Europe. The picture shows the packaging for a Body Wash with Murumuru Butter and Rose in a 473ml bottle made from 100% recyclate. The circulating label explains the company philosophy, the contents and the substances it does not contain that are rather scepti- cally regarded by the consumers. A screwed-on pump dispenser with a locking function enables dosed dis- pensing of the product. www.lovebeautyandplanet.com fit in bottle made from 100% used plastic fit GmbH from Zittau, the well-known manufac- turer of the cult washing- up liquid bottle shaped like a tower, is also focus- ing alongside this bottle shape on a bulbous plas- tic bottle without edges or corners that fits comforta- bly in the hand. Today, the bottle is made from 100% used plastic and is fitted with a screwed-on push- pull cap. Appropriately designed sleeve labels describe the product; the “Hibiscus & Red Pepper” variety is also free from microplastics. www.fit.d e
