Plastic free body lotion

Sorry if done before... I'm trying to be more conscious of single use plastics and feel awful each week as I still seem to throw out tons of it...

So I'm slowly trying to make better choices - does anyone know of good body lotions in a glass or metal tin or jar? Bigger the better and looking for something for dry skin.

TIA

Following as I would also love to reduce my plastic use

Do you have a refill shop near you? The one in my town sells body lotions, and you just take along your own container

The original Nivea is sold in tins. Lush used to do body moisturiser in solid bars, but I haven't been in there for a couple of years so I don't know if they still sell it.

I use Nuxe body oil is (in a glass bottle) and Herbivore body polish (glass jar) that’s so rich in oils you don’t need moisturiser after it and I think Suzanne Kaufmann uses glass jars but the lids are usually plastic.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm actually going to make it my new hobby to convert all my bad habit plastic use and replace the products one by one. Sad to call it a hobby I know, but a worthy one I thinkSmile

@NannyR
I like the idea of a solid lotion, will look that up thanks. Good old Nivea in a tin, I think this is a great hand cream.

@Carboncheque
Ooh yes Nuxe products are lovely.

Off to Google, I'll report back what I find!
