Repurposing Sevani Glass Bottles – Its Fun, Free and Eco Friendly!

When I was formulating Sevani natural beauty products, I just knew I’d package my creations in amber glass bottles  I didn’t want to work so hard to create pure, natural, effective skin care products only to end up packaging them in containers with the potential to leach chemicals into them!  Instead, the dark amber glass protects the bioactive ingredients and the overall quality of Sevani formulations.

One of the other reasons I chose to use glass was because its a more eco friendly form of packaging.  Glass is recyclable most places in the US at this point so folks can easily get their Sevani bottles to the recycling center.  And, they’re reusable too!

Once you’ve used up the luscious beauty products inside these bottles, you can repurpose Sevani’s glass bottles in a variety of different ways.  Here are some examples…

Soap Dispenser

The products that come with a pump dispenser, like our Ageless Radiance Refining AHA Cleanser, can be repurposed into soap dispensers.  Buying bulk hand soap, dish soap, or body wash  is much cheaper and many brands you can find you can stretch further by diluting with water.  Our glass bottles can be easily repurposed to hold these soaps and dispense them as needed while looking fabulous!

Natural Air Freshener Spray

Repurpose our glass bottles with spray nozzles, like those that hold our Rose Hyaluronic Age Defying Tonique, as the perfect bottle for your natural air fresheners.

Wondering how to make a natural air freshener?  Simply clean out your old Sevani bottle, fill it with fresh water, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil , and that’s it!  Mist into the air as needed, or spray lightly  onto upholstry and linens to freshen them up too.

Best of all because our spray bottles are on the small side, they not only work well for the home, they make it easy to carry your natural air freshener into the car or even in your purse so its there whenever you need it!

A Lovely Bud Vase

In my opinion one can never have enough flowers!  But, you’ve got to have somewhere to put them!  Now you can repurpose your Sevani glass bottles into new bud vases!  Its all the rage in design right now to have a variety of sizes of small glass vases that can hold just one or two flowers – this is a perfect way to reuse all of the bottles that come in our skin care systems!

There are so many other ways to creatively repurpose Sevani glass bottle too.  What’s your favorite way to reuse Sevani packaging?  Leave a comment, and if you can, a photo!

Use The Principals of Homeopathy For Effective Yet Gentle Skin Care

Homeopathic medicine was discovered by a German physician by the name of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He discovered that quinine bark, a conventional medicine of malaria, can cause the same level of malaria fevers when taken in by a healthy person.

As he continued his research he determined that some plants that could cause certain symptoms to a healthy person could cure an ailing person.  This led Dr Hahnemann to create treatments based on the principle that illness occurs when imbalance exists, which is now the main tenet of homeopathy.

Homeopathy can be used to treat any condition physical and mental, which, of course, includes imbalances that present as skin problems.  I have tapped into some of these natural remedies for my chemical free skin care line because of my own personal experience with the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine as well as the fact that Homeopathy heals without hurting and, best of all, treats the root causes of the imbalance/illness so we can eliminate the problem once and for all!.

Sevani skin care products are made by using minute percentages of a natural plant or mineral ingredient, just as in homeopathy.  By doing so, an effective, yet gentle remedy is created to treat and balance skin conditions as opposed to using harsh chemicals and toxins only to block the symptoms of the still underlying problem.

Products that contain plant extracts and minerals chosen for their homeopathic qualities, like those in the Sevani skin care line, can be beneficial to all skin types in many different ways:

  • These products are gentle on your skin- synthetic ingredients are not comparable molecules to human skin cells, and, as a result, offer little to no benefit real benefit. Products made with all natural ingredients on the other hand support the natural texture of your skin, which makes it ideal for skin regeneration, all the while being so gentle they’re safe to use on your most delicate skin.
  • They help in skin renewal- Plant extracts and minerals can stimulate cell production. This will prevent premature aging and help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • They’ll effectively moisturize your skin- Regardless of your skin type, your skin will be able to retain moisture and this too helps in the prevention of fine lines on the skin and is important for overall skin health.
  • They’ll tone and firm your skin too -Your skin will look firmer and will have self-healing abilities that have been masked by all the chemicals and toxins often used in make up and skin care products.
  • And, you’ll have a healthy complexion- Using chemical free skin care products that contain antioxidants, like those used in Sevani, help give your skin an even tone and a natural, healthy glow.

If you have problematic skin that is dry, oily, sensitive, or have blemishes, then the use of homeopathic skin care products is the gentlest way to take care of your skin condition.

Beauty is more than just Skin-Deep!

The perception of beauty is often an external one at first, yet it has a way of becoming more apparent via interaction and familiarity. It is true that we have to take great measure in good grooming and even cosmetic products and procedures but the foundation of beauty lies in our overall well-being or health, even attitude.

Beauty and health care products abound in the market nowadays – cosmetics, hair care, skin care and various beauty treatments.  Being healthy, your aspect of beauty becomes more than just skin deep! With a healthy lifestyle, and great attitude beauty will shine from within, not just on the outside.  But it never hurts to have quality products, natural and of course effective would be ideal!

Healthy Alternatives

With the market flooded with options, one has to be careful in choosing and buying beauty and health products. You really have to make sure that what you are getting is something that you can ‘live with’ and recommend to others as far as your own experience with the product is. Defining yourself will be these products hence the term ‘live with,’ since you will be using, applying, and internalizing the products for use in a daily basis. Provided with these products are information on how it was developed and why it was developed. Maybe you are the type that wants to be conscious of all the efforts wherein the least harm is done to the environment and to your person. Hence check it out, study these products before even purchasing them. When and if possible it is important to really be educated and knowledgeable as to what you need and require in your health and beauty products.

Beauty is a State of Health

In purchasing and using beauty and heath products, you are not only taking care of your body but also nurturing your soul. Whatever your spirituality is, beauty starts from a feeling of well-being, feeling good about one’s self, and nurturing this feeling to be sustained in our lives. The common ads you see on a health and beauty products website states that they are environmentally friendly (eco-friendly), does not do testing on animals, etc. These are not add-on media mileage but rather something we should all be doing. These are statements of commitment that in whatever act or services we provide we are doing as much as we can to not be harmful. Your state of beauty must come from a state of least harm (ahimsa for those into Yogic philosophy), feeling better about yourself must involve the specific effort to be sustainable and not harmful.

Feel free to be Beautiful! Feel free to be Healthy! We encourage you to start nurturing this feeling of health and beauty within you and to use responsible products which we carry to help enhance this lifestyle. A beautiful world can only start from within you and it is the only change necessary to start making the world a better place to live in.
