Oko Creations is a Montreal based company, creating eco-friendly and conscientiously sourced products for babies and women, while also trying to minimize waste as these are sold without any packaging. With an increase in consumer conscientiousness about waste and it's impact on the Earth, I couldn't resist but jump at the opportunity to try some eco-friendly products from Oko Creations, and see how easily they could be incorporated into my daily life.

I decided to test out the reusable Makeup Removal Pads ($1.80 each) because although I don't use cotton pads to remove my makeup, I do use them at least once  a day to apply toner. 

Right off the bat, I noticed that these Makeup Removal Pads are much larger than regular cotton pads, providing more coverage. These pads are made of hemp fleece (55% hemp and 45% organic cotton), making them quite soft. Because of this, these pads might be ideal for someone who has sensitive skin and find regular cotton pads a bit too abrasive. The pads are quite thick and are double weaved, preventing tears, and also allowing you to use each side separately if you wanted. One concern of mine was that the toner solution would be absorbed into the pad before I was finished, but this was not an issue at all as the pad does a pretty good job in retaining the toner on top. Maintaining these pads is really simple as well - either hand wash them, or pop them in the wash in a linen bag to prevent losing them!

Overall, I'm really happy about these reusable Makup Removal Pads - they're a great sustainable and durable alternative to the cotton pad, and they won't make a dent in your wallet. If you're interested in purchasing these pads, check out Oko's website to order online or find a retailer near you! Speaking of which, I have to go get some more to last me a week :).

How do you remove your makeup? With a facial cloth, cotton pad, or reusable cloth?
