How to use the One Balm beauty balm
We’re big fans of beauty balms at Green People and believe that these versatile skin care staples should have a spot in every skin care routine.
Here we proudly introduce One Balm. our zero-waste beauty balm innovation, and share tips on using this multipurpose balm for every skin emergency.
What is a zero-waste beauty balm?
One Balm is our botanical beauty balm for all genders and skin types. A beauty industry first, this zero-waste beauty balm is presented in a petite wood dust pot that degrades in soil after use, leaving no trace of microplastics behind.
Little went to waste when bringing this 100% multi-purpose balm to the certified organic skin care market.
The journey to the jar started in a sustainably grown forest where the sawdust used to make the pot was produced as a by-product and would otherwise have gone to waste. The biodegradable box is made from wood pulp, plant polymers and 25% grass fibre.

First degradable beauty packaging in the UK
With our carbon-neutral sugar cane plastic squeezy tubes and 25% grass pulp Nordic Roots cardboard cartons, we had already made a lot of progress on our promise to reduce single plastic packaging by 2022, but we wanted to do more.
By packaging One Balm in the UK’s first 100% degradable beauty packaging we have found a way to offer our customers a truly low-waste multipurpose balm and are helping to weed microplastics out of the beauty industry.
One Balm’s botanic formulation is equally ethical. The sustainably sourced ingredients include a nourishing nectar of skin-soothing Pomegranate, Frankincense and Myrrh. Entirely ethically sourced, the Myrrh is collected by female Himba tribeswomen and fairly traded to support this traditional community.
