Biodegradable Beauty Sponges

The EcoTools BioBlender Makeup Sponge Breaks Down Within 120 Days

— December 14, 2020 — Eco
Worn-out makeup sponges need to be replaced every so often and EcoTools is helping to make the process as earth-friendly as possible with its new BioBlender Makeup Sponge. Launching in early 2021, the eco-friendly makeup applicator tool is totally biodegradable and it's designed to break down in a matter of 120 days.

To make sure that the makeup sponge ends up in the right place, EcoTools debossed the words "Plant Me" on the applicator, so that it won't end up taking up space in a landfill.

Due to their porosity, makeup sponges need to be washed regularly, and when they eventually start cracking or crumbling, eco-friendly applicator tools make it easy for consumers to make room for a replacement in a mindful way.
