Easy Zero-Waste Gift Kit: The Minimalist
What you need to make your bathroom routine zero-waste, and nothing more is in this zero-waste minimalist starter box. This box was designed and curated to bring you everything you need, and nothing more. No waste, and minimal products, going zero-waste has never been easier. If you’re the ultimate minimalist striving to own less than 100 items… someday, then this zero-waste starter box is for you.
When you buy The Minimalist zero-waste kit you will save 15%
Some argue that Minimalism is an art form, that’s why we handcrafted this box for people serious about the art of owning less, consuming only the essentials, and spending more time living on our marvelous planet.
Includes:
Mountain Evergreen Shampoo Bar - Full Size
Pacific Rainforest Soap - Full Size
Bamboo Toothbrush - Adult
Tooth Powder with Glass Container
Floss with Glass Container - Bamboo Charcoal
Bamboo Toothbrush Holder - Home
For your oral care, a Bamboo Toothbrush, Bamboo Charcoal Floss, and Zero-Waste Tooth Powder are the most essential items. Our Toothbrush is made from bamboo; it’s light and biodegradable* and it will perfectly fit in our Bamboo Toothbrush Holder. You won’t have to worry about the bristles getting dirty on your counter. We also have a phenomenal alternative plastic-free toothpaste: Tooth Powder. You only need to wet the bristles of your Toothbrush and dip it in. And because we love minimalism, we’ve also designed a Zero-Waste container to keep the Zero-Waste Tooth Powder dry. If you feel like keeping your dentist happy, and remove your rational concern to not floss due to waste, we have you covered. Just use our Bamboo Charcoal Floss that comes with this zero-waste starter box. It’s 100% sustainable and biodegradable.
Lastly, our soap and shampoo is about as minimal zero-waste and plastic-free as soap comes, it’s just a bar. All our bars are made locally in Vancouver, Canada using all-natural ingredients and fragrances. Our Eco-Friendly bars limit your impact on waterways and marine life so you can keep enjoying the best beaches in the world for years to come.
If you’re ready to embark on your plastic-free journey, The Minimalist is the way to join our trail! Stay clean while helping the planet by choosing sustainable and biodegradable products made by Canadians… for Canadians.
