Sustainable cosmetics brand Beauty Kitchen is officially supplying the Scottish Government with 50,000 units of hand sanitiser to provide to the NHS, Social Care and other vital front-line services.

The hand sanitiser will come in refillable, reusable bottles in line with the brand’s zero waste ethos.

The empty bottles can be returned back to the Scottish firm to be washed and reused in the next batch, an idea that is also powering Beauty Kitchen’s refill stations. Rolling out in 1,000 locations across the UK this year, the system helps save millions of single use plastic bottles.

Founder Jo Chidley commented: “As a B Corp certified business, sustainability and giving back are at the core of everything we do. When the Scottish Government asked us if we could help with any critical supplies for the NHS, we worked double time to make this happen. Not only have we provided an effective solution for them, but one that is also sustainable and included in our Return - Refill - Repeat programme.”

The brand said it will also donate over 230,000 units of beauty products to the NHS and charities including In Kind Direct and London Ambulance Service. The products donated include a mix of full-sized products as well as hand cream sachets.
