Really effective products, but the packaging guilt is real
I genuinely love these products - they work exactly as advertised. The containers looked sleek and premium when they arrived, which made me feel good about the purchase initially. Then I tried to recycle them. That's when I discovered they're basically impossible to recycle properly. Mixed materials, no clear recycling instructions, components that don't separate easily. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do with these containers, researching recycling programs, feeling guilty every time I finish a product. This shouldn't be my job. A company this size, charging these prices, should have figured out sustainable packaging already. Instead they've shifted the environmental burden onto customers who care. I'm doing the work they should have done in product development. The products themselves? Great. But I'm reconsidering future purchases because I don't want to keep accumulating packaging waste that the company clearly didn't think through.
