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 COSRX Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream is a famous essence in an eye cream, with an anti-aging boost. The formula includes snail mucin for moisture retention, niacinamide to brighten, and 5 kinds of peptides, whose primary function is to repair cell issue, stimulate collagen production and work on fine lines. This makes it ideal for anti-aging as well as dry skin concerns.
Because snail mucin has semi-occlusive properties, this eye cream is suitable for dry and mature skin, as it can encourage better moisture retention. Truth be told, all skin types can use this as there aren't really any red flag ingredients and most people's under-eye skin tends to be dryer than the rest of their face (given the skin is thinner and more delicate).
This eye cream can help with dark circles (thanks to the niacinamide) as well as fine lines (due to the peptides). Plus, treating dry skin can also help with improving the appearance of both dark circles and wrinkles, as discolouration and fine lines tend to be more pronounced with parched skin.
The COSRX Eye Cream is cruelty-free - as are all COSRX skincare products. Obviously however, this product is not vegan, owing to the inclusion of snail mucin in the formula.
The COSRX Eye Cream does not include any drying alcohols or added fragrances (at the time of writing this, anyway). It's unlikely COSRX would add any in the future, as they pride on their formulas being as clean as possible - but always check the ingredients on the box or product first.
