HOW TO USE - Start with the upper lashes, holding the brush horizontally close to the root, move up in a zigzag motion while you are looking down. Concentrate on the ends to enlarge the eye and on the centre to open up the eyes. Gently tap the eye lashes when applying mascara to the lower lashes, ensuring that you don’t overload them.
MY FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS
- Organic aloe vera gel - Known for its soothing virtues, organic aloe vera gel repairs and soothes the contours of the most delicate eyes.
- Acacia gum or arabic gum - derived from the acacia senegal tree, is used as a bonding agent which improves the mascara and eyeliner’s hold. Its wealth of polysaccharides and glycoproteins also makes it a real tightening and lifting cosmetic asset. In addition, acacia has softening, soothing and healing qualities for fragile mucous membranes, which helps prevent irritation when applying mascara.
- Organic carnauba wax - Secreted by the leaves of a palm tree native to Brazil, this wax is a film-forming agent that protects skin through the production of a continuous film and thus improves makeup durability.
- Organic castor oil - Castor oil has purifying, nourishing and fortifying qualities, due to its richness in fatty acids and vitamin E.
- Organic shea butter - Shea butter is extracted from the fruits of the shea tree, which only grows in West Africa. Its richness in fatty acids promotes nourishment and moisture retention to skin. Recommended as a stimulant to wound healing, it is also protective against UV with soothing and calming qualities.
HOW TO REFILL?
All of Zao products are refillable and with Zao making great changes to their packaging, most are now plastic free! Can't see a refill available on my site? It's because Zao haven't brought out their plastic free option yet, but as soon as they do, it will be available at Plastic Freedom!
REFILL YOUR ZAO MASCARA
- Remove lid and pull out mascara wand (you get a new one with your refill)
- Unscrew the white part on the mascara and remove
- Remove the tube inside (this can be washed and recycled so although this isn't 100% plastic free you're saving a lot of plastic in comparison to normal mascaras as you can not recycle the whole tube)
- Remove the sticker from mascara refill and slot into the bamboo tube - there is a ridge that slots into the tube perfectly
- Push want into the bamboo lid
- Re-attach the white metal part to the bamboo tube

Let customers speak for us
I've got 3 Yeti straw lid bottles and this one sits on my desk while I work. I upgraded from the smaller version, as it encourages me to drink more. Love them, keeps drinks cold and easy to use with the flip straw lid. Perfect delivery from Plastic Freedom, as usual.
This is a stylish and very solid key ring no flimsy metal and definitely worth the money
A lovely solid washing up bowl.easy to keep clean.
Excellent customer service, fast delivery and wonderful products. Will order again. Thank you.
I have been looking for an alternative since I discovered tin foil is not as good an alternative as I had thought! It works as well as cling film and I can compost it!! It’s a win win
Love it but not enough of it. Not very powerful so need more of it.
A bit pricey, which is a shame.
So won't be getting any more refills sadly.
Great sponge for washing up. They don't disintegrate like the plastic foam ones and leaves bits of plastic on your washing up. I also cut mine in half after seeing a recommendation as they're quite big, meaning you get 4 sponges out of the 2 pack.
I absolutely love this bath mat! It’s so pretty and ooks great in my bathroom. Will definitely be ordering some more things soon!
Really nice and simple to remember how to pack it back up. Loved it
I bought two sizes , the one contains larger items - trousers, shirts, tops and the other smaller items, socks and underwear. On a long trip with a number of moves, these have beautifully organised my suitcase and the patterns are fun!
Very good, I like it.
I’m a repeat purchaser of this conditioner. I really like it as it’s fairly lightweight yet leaves my fine curly hair detangled, shiny and hydrated but my son also loves it for his thick wavy hair so it seems to do a great job on most hair types. It also smells really good and it’s great to be using such a natural product rather than something full of ‘nasties'. The only thing that could improve it further is being able to refill the bottle!
