Co-founded and launched by friends Alexandra Grima and Su Tuttle in 2020, Foile’s clean, vegan range is modest (currently there are only seven skincare products on offer), however it’s their custom-designed refillable bottle that will have you racing to clear out the plastic packaging clogging your drawers.

For the already environmentally inclined, any kind of refillable option that replaces single-use plastic is easy to embrace. But Alexandra and Su wanted to take this concept further and create something truly exceptional. “Before we launched, a lot of the work was actually around the bottle; how our products were going to be housed, how a refillable method would work and how it would look,” Alexandra says.

“We really wanted a custom bottle for our Foile products because we felt it contributed to having a sense of permanence in your beauty cabinet. A beautiful bottle that you can refill creates a higher sense of value so you are less likely to throw it out.”

Transforming refillable skincare products into desirable design gems is already a big beauty brag. But Alexandra and Su say their goal is to go further, eventually bringing low-impact alternatives to every bathroom: “Our commitment is to be progressive and our value system is heavily steeped in not only reducing the impact of what we’re doing, but trying to help the whole industry shift together so we can all become more progressive.” Will refillable beauty products become the new normal? If they’re as attractive as Foile’s, we think so.
