An easy way to adopt a more sustainable routine is to incorporate a few of the best refillable beauty products into your regular rotation. It's no secret the industry itself has a serious waste problem, which is why it's even more important to try and prioritize sustainability in your daily beauty routine. For a little inspiration on the best items worth using over and over, we've rounded up the top eco-conscious beauty picks we're giving gold stars.
The skincare and makeup products below all feature efficient packaging that allows customers to reduce their environmental impact by reusing a single jar, canister, or compact and refilling the rest—usually at a discounted price. The result? Less waste without sacrificing product experience or luxury—and who doesn't want that?
Here, a few of the best refillable beauty products from top brands like Sol de Janeiro, Glossier, and Westman Atelier that make it easier to be eco-friendly during Earth Month and beyond.
Jardin de l'Orangerie Eau de Parfum Refill
Dries Van Noten's elevated fragrances are housed in glass bottles that include a key and funnel to ensure not a single drop goes to waste. And once you're done, it's easy to reattach the spray applicator on your perfume of choice.
Whipped Argan Oil Refillable Firming Body Butter
Bazaar editors are obsessed with every scent of Josie Maran's top-rated body butter. The brand's refill pouches give beauty lovers plenty of bang for their buck since they're actually the largest size available.
L'Or de Vie La Crème
Dior updated its L’Or de Vie La Crème to be twice as effective in repairing the skin and restoring a youthful bounce. Plus, its gilded refillable jar looks elegant on any countertop or vanity.
Monochromes Palette
If you often pair your eyeshadow with your mood, consider picking up one of Glossier's refillable Monochromes palettes, which contain a selection of three matte, satin, and metallic shades.
Bum Bum Cream Refill
Whether you're packing essentials for a trip, or looking to re-up on Sol de Janeiro's highly popular Bum Bum Cream, this easy refill pod makes it a breeze to stay moisturized all day.
All-in-One Refillable Brow Pencil & Refill
Viral makeup looks stemming from Byredo best-sellers are often seen on the red carpet and beyond. This buildable and refillable brow pencil from the brand contains a pointed flat edge that makes it ideal for customizing their shape and definition.
Skin Activator
We're fairly certain you'll finish Westman Atelier's hyaluronic acid-, peptide-, and niacinamide-based serum down to the last drop, which is why their streamlined refill pod will come in handy after cleansing.
Paradoxe Intense Eau de Parfum
Prada Paradoxe is one of our favorite warm floral perfumes, which is just one reason it tops our list. Its refill bottle conveniently features an angled funnel that switches on and off, so you never have to worry about accidentally spilling the fragrance.
Rice Powder Cleanser
With powerful AHAs and exfoliating rice particles, this powder-to-cream cleanser leaves skin feeling softer and smoother. Refills are $2 less than the original.
Extreme Cream
We're betting you've seen TikTokers raving about Innbeauty Project's coveted skincare favorites—like this firming and lifting moisturizer—all over your For You page. Once you empty their viral Extreme Cream (which happens to be plastic negative), it's a breeze to pop another pod into your existing bottle to maintain your dewy glow.
Blush Divine Radiant Lip & Cheek Color
Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's line, Rose Inc, nicely features a few different refillable product options. This lip and cheek compact in particular delivers buildable color and hydration thanks to squalane and vitamin E.
Magic Night Cream
Every makeup artist raves about this glow-in-a-jar cream, and it just got a sustainable upgrade thanks to refillable pods.
Pure Gold Radiance Cream
We can't emphasize enough how a more sustainable routine doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing luxury. The La Prairie Pure Gold Radiance Cream evens and smooths skin's texture, and the genius refillable design allows you to hold onto the stunning gold jar.
Curator Three-Pan Eyeshadow Palette
If you're a fan of Hourglass palettes, the brand's Curated eye shadow palette will become your new go-to for endless eye looks. Choose from 40 different shades to add into a three- or five-pan compact–perfect for those who could never find a palette with the exact shades they need.
Purifying Cleansing Gel
Beloved by oily and combination skin types, this plant-based face cleanser comes in a glass bottle that can easily be replenished via refill.
Rouge Hermès Satin Lipstick Refill
The Rouge Hermès lipstick bullet easily pops out of the case, which is so beautiful you'll want to keep it forever. Plus, it's a cost-effective way of stocking up on Hermès.
Leila Lou Everyday Body Wash
Fans of by/Rosie Jane's culty Leila Lou perfume should snag the body wash version of the brand's buzzy fragrance, which nicely happens to be refillable.
The Eye Cream
This hydrating eye cream from Augustinus Bader contains a blend of soothing and hydrating ingredients like centella asiatica, niacinamide, and jojoba oil to rejuvinate tired eyes. Once you shop its complete set, the cream's 15-milliliter refill pod is available for a few dollars less.
Im-Possible Mascara
Since mascaras have to be replaced so often (experts recommend every two to three months), it can feel wasteful to buy so many each year. Enter: the Kjaer Weis Im-Possible Mascara. Simply pop the tube and wand out of the red canister, and swap out with the replacement.
Fenty Icon Semi-Matte Refillable Lipstick Set
Here's a creamy refillable lipstick from Fenty Beauty that leaves behind a semi-matte finish that's not overly shiny, and has a unique bullet shape that's inspired by Rihanna’s cupid’s bow.

Matte Bronzing Brick
Not only is the Victoria Beckham Beauty Bronzing Brick formula a dream (it leaves the most subtle sun kiss with one sweep), but the refillable carton is made from 100 percent post-consumer materials and is fully recyclable.
The Essential
Here's a TSA-friendly refillable bottle from emerging brand Ries that features an airless pump to dispense lotions, creams, and gels mess-free.
Soar Collection Storybook Set

Mind and Body Wash Refillable Glass
Unlike the previous products, Bathing Culture's refill program allows you to refresh your supply of its cult-favorite body wash in person at select stores. You can also buy it by the gallon and replenish as needed.
Rose Gold Sensitive Skin Razor
When is $75 for a razor worth it? When you have Oui the People's pretty gold one in your shower. And since you have to buy only the razor heads going forward, you'll understand why.
Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter
The iconic Creme de Corps Whipped Body Butter also happens to come in a refillable pack that uses 81 percent less plastic packaging than buying a new jar.
Blush Stick
Along with the refillable lipsticks from La Bouche Rouge, Paris, you can also get your hands on their eco-friendly and customizable blush sticks. Dot them along your cheeks for a subtle flush of color, or swipe them on for a bolder makeup look.
Daily Stone Moisturizer
A two-for-one sustainable product, this moisturizing stone is not only refillable but adds zero waste to the environment since it's completely made with natural ingredients like rose essential oil and cocoa butter.
