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

The Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence kind of does it all! It treats dark spots, redness, dry skin, mild acne and irritation, to name a few. It's basically 5 different products in one. And as we know, snail mucin is an absolute pro at skin healing, regeneration and hydration.
The Benton Snail Bee Essence is particularly good for redness-prone and irritated skin. Where the COSRX Snail Essence is excellent for dry skin, the Benton Snail Essence is better for inflammation, mild acne and sensitivity.
There are no real side effects of snail mucin, to be honest. Some might find it a bit too occlusive for their skin, and of course for a small minority, snail mucin just might not suit their skn for one reason or another (as with any skincare product).
The pH level of the Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence is around 5.5-6. This makes it mildly acidic (pH neutral is 7).
You can use the Benton Snail Bee Essence morning or night, or both! Use it as often as required. We think it's especially great at night, because it can improve moisture retention.
