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 OG, award-winning cult product from Axiology is its Vegan Multi-Use Balmie. Featured in French Vogue, Allure and Byrdie, Balmies are one-swipe staples that have your eyes, lips and cheeks covered! Available in 14 shades, the wear-anywhere crayons provide natural colour like high-end makeup but are gentle on your lips. This means lovely pigments without compromising on skin health. Packed with oils, butters, and antioxidants such as elderberry, hemp, and plum, you'll feel glam as well as nourished. We love that they're lip-to-lid: this means 100% zero waste. Balmies are wrapped in paper and rest in a recyclable carry case.
Tip: Use shades Champagne, Frosting, Chestnut and Caramel as highlighters!

Product of the United States.
Anyone looking for a wide range of cruelty-free, vegan all-in-one crayons that won't irritate or dry out your skin.
Tear the recyclable paper as needed and keep Balmie in its red, recyclable box. Apply directly to eyes, lips + cheeks and blend in with fingers.
Heads up: It might appear tiny because Axiology have ditched tube packaging to make it environmentally friendly (we know, it's amazing how much of a makeup product is actually just fancy packaging), but Balmies are the standard lipstick size at .12 oz. Make sure to store it in a cool place because this product is heat-sensitive.
Precautions:
Stop using the product immediately and consult a dermatologist when redness, swelling, or other skin irritations occur, and consult a physician. Avoid applying the product on open wounds or skin inflammation. Keep away from direct sunlight and out of reach of infants and children.
