DIY : 3 homemade cosmetic recipes
DIY : 3 homemade cosmetic recipes.
Let's face it, big brand cosmetics are no longer in fashion. Indeed, more and more people are paying attention to the components of the products they consume, especially in the beauty sector. Mobile applications such as Yuka also guide us in this direction by reading labels and informing us about the health aspect of items, but isn't there a better alternative?
Instead of constantly searching for the best product for our health, why not create it ourselves? Quick, easy, natural and sustainable, homemade cosmetics are a good alternative to those sold in supermarkets. They allow us to be aware of each component of our products and to avoid any endocrine disruptors, carcinogenic, allergenic or irritating ingredients. BellePaga helps you to change your habits by offering you 3 easy, creative and 100% natural homemade cosmetic recipes!
On the program : a solid shampoo, a toothpaste and a deodorant.

BellePaga: Transparency, eco-responsibility, naturalness and quality.
The BellePaga ready-to-wear brand is committed to offering you eco-responsible articles made from alpaca wool, an animal with a very low ecological footprint, all with respect for the animal, the breeders and the craftsmen. BellePaga clothes are made of 100% baby alpaca, one of the finest fibres representing the softest part of the alpaca wool. Only our socks mix baby alpaca wool with pima cotton, a high quality, resistant, soft and silky textile or bamboo, a natural fibre that is antibacterial, breathable and also very soft. To add elasticity to the sock, a small amount of spandex and/or nylon can be mixed in.
With our collaborators located in Provence, we also offer you 100% natural lavender sachets to perfume and protect your clothes from moths.
Each of our products is delivered to you in an ecological packaging in order to limit our environmental footprint as much as possible.
