Who said that changing your habits for a more sustainable lifestyle has to be restricting?

Who said that changing your habits for a more sustainable lifestyle has to be restricting?

1- Energizing Mornings

As you wake up, start your day with a good dose of energy! Choose seasonal and organic fresh fruits: a mix of flavors, scents and colors to make it a richer, happier and more flavorful day.  Moreover, they are rich in antioxidants, your skin will thank you!

2- Hair blowing in the Wind

 

What better way to keep the momentum going and get a boost of vitamin D than by getting a big gulp of fresh air and soaking up some sun? Jump on your bike; let the wind play with your hair all the way to work. A sure way to feel lighter right away: there’s next to no impact on the environment and you’ll get to show off your toned thighs!

3- Coffee Break

Choose a cute and colorful mug when taking a coffee break with colleagues. For starters, it adds a cheerful touch to your desk but more importantly, it's reusable! And when we think about all the coffee and tea we drink all year long...

4- Natural Flavor

On your way home, pick up a basket of local and organic fruits and vegetables for your suppers that week. Several options: organic grocery stores, local markets, cooperatives... You will undoubtedly find something near you. Tastier and healthier meals for you but also better for the planet!  

5- Less is more

Time for a change? How about a decluttering session? Getting rid of a few objects and pieces of clothing from time to time will do you some good! Donating will always make someone happy; or recycling to give them a second life. There are so many DIY tutorials online, it would be impossible not to find a great one!

…And ecology becomes fun

The Concentrated Shower Gel, a ritual as good for your skin as it is for the planet

Phew, ecology is no longer a constraint! Thanks to a mind-blowing innovation, the Concentrated Shower Gel creates a ritual as good for your skin as it is for the planet. A beautiful way of taking a stand.

 

Smaller but better

What if protecting the environment could become part of our daily routine? When Yves Rocher Laboratories came to this realization, they developed this innovation.

"The idea was to come up with a concentrated formula that contains less water than a regular shower gel but that is just as effective", explains Virginie Couturaud, the Brand Scientific Valorization director.

Result: A 100ml bottle that has the same capacity as a 400ml bottle, which is equals to 40 showers! But the reason why the Concentrated Shower Gel has such a limited impact on the environment is also because of its valve cap that provides the exact amount needed for the entire body: one squeeze is all it takes for one shower and there you have it!

A pleasant and eco-responsible texture

In addition to being eco-friendly, its formula of botanical origin contains 97% ingredients of natural origin, it’s paraben free and even preservative free. And how does it feel? The light and smooth concentrated gel transforms into a delicate and velvety lather. Thanks to its patent-pending formula, this unprecedented galenic/innovation is easily biodegradable. But that's not all; even the Concentrated Shower Gel packaging is green. Its recyclable packaging is made up of recycled plastic and requires two times less material than the regular size. Practical, it not only takes up less space in the shower, but also in the transport trucks. **.

Projection: five times less trucks on the roads and a reduction of greenhouse gases by 50%**.

We help plant trees

Small bottle, big consequences: every time one is purchased, the Yves Rocher Foundation under the aegis of the Institut de France plants a tree. Are you ready to adopt this new Concentrated Shower Gel?
