Bad label, but good packaging. I recently bought a soap refill and was thrilled it didn’t come in yet another plastic bottle.
The material might be fine but why make it look exactly like a common milk/drink carton?
Because buying common packaging equipment is good for a small brand. Developing unique packaging means paying for custom machinery.
I mean they could make the label look more like soap and less like juice.

The inside lining is generally plastic or metallic foils and causes these types of containers to be significantly harder to recycle than if they were made from a single material instead. The only way around this is larger, reusable containers with no waste. 🤷♂️ Not to say you’re the problem, just saying that it not being “made of plastic” doesn’t really matter as it’s still not made of biodegradable materials.
It uses significantly less plastic and the paper portion biodegrades. That’s far better than a 100% plastic bottle.
Actually, that is not always the case. The paper is often impregnated with waxes, inks, or oils specifically to prevent decomposition because you don’t want a container for a product that had an indeterminate shelf life to decompose; and again it introduces a significant hamper into recycling the container. It’s not “far” better unless you’re buying into base level green washing. 🤷♂️
Was gonna say— it’s encouraging seeing cheaper more environmentally friendly packaging like this. Great reuse of existing production machines and materials too. But damn if that label isn’t just very poorly designed for the product category.
That is at least a plus.
Imagine grabbing it half sleep and thinking it’s milk.
Don’t keep your soap in the fridge next to the milk next time?
Of course not. I keep the milk in the cupboard next to the soap.
Why would you store it in the fridge? Noone keeps milk below the counter.
You are gonna have a bad time.
It’s so thick you’d think it’s yoghurt.
That’s on purpose. There is some weird marketing trend in France about “feeding” your hair and skin. I guess, it goes also to dishes today. Look for the smoothie-shampoo
I thought it was just an effort to reduce plastic use. If I had a wax paper option for things like this, I would always get it
I get mine from Smol and it comes in this form, but it also has massive labels all over it saying ‘do not drink’.
