Plastic recycling is, for the most part, an unsuccessful solution for the world of plastic pollution. I try to minimize using it the best I can. It's hard though but when there are other options then I'll take those instead even if those might be a bit of an inconvenience. Baby steps might not mean much on a global scale but to me every step counts no matter how small. Just one less little piece of plastic. Sorry for my sidetrack.

Congratulations on your efforts!

I like a cleansing balm.  I usually use it in the morning. In the evening I use it as my first cleanse. Right now am using Tatcha and I like it. I tried the rms but the scent was too strong for me. I am almost finished with the Tatcha so I ordered the Gatineau. The consistency was slightly different than the other cleansing balms. We'll see.

I didn't like the RMS cleansing balm either, @Janey2.  I didn't mind the scent but if I remember correctly I didn't like the way it felt.  Plus coconut oil is a pore clogger.

Since I don't wear heavy waterproof or long-wear makeup where that would need something like a heavy-hitting cleansing balm, I like to use micellar water instead. Micellar water removes most types of light makeup, skincare products and also waterproof eye makeup and sunscreen. Just do a second cleanse to remove the residue left behind from the micellar water and I'm good to go.

The plastic may be recyclable. I won’t know until I get them if they have a number on them. We recycle almost everything. The tiny foil top would be the only thing and it’s so little.

Recyclable doesn't always mean it's accepted.  Around here it's now only 1's & 2's and it can't be a wide mouth.  What the size of the mouth of the container is has to do with it I have no idea.  We used to be able to do anything 1,2, or 5 except things that held automotive oil or hazardous stuff.

Yes until I get them I won’t be sure. We take our stuff to a recycling center because it’s they take it for free while the trash company charges a ton. Its very small tiny piece I am not that worried. You could litterly cut it up into super tiny pieces. It’s only the size of a nickel probably. It does say it’s recyclable if your area takes it. We barely have any trash because everything gets recycled. We do our part.

I have dexterity issues so I have fumbling with anything in a jar.
