Gallinée have launched a new Anti-Waste Operation. It allows customers to get their hands on their favourite products nearing the end of their shelf life with 70% off. The products currently on offer have expiration dates between May and September 2022, so are still perfectly safe to use but with a heavily reduced price. The offer ends at the end of this month. Another Anti-Waste Operation sale will take place in April when Gallinée spring clean their warehouse, with future sale dates to be revealed throughout 2022.
The Anti-Waste Operation is in response to the large quantities of beauty products in the UK that are destroyed as they approach the end of their shelf life – it’s estimated that between 20 and 40 percent of beauty products will end up as waste. What better way to tackle this issue than by purchasing your Microbiome favourites at a fraction of the price! Shop the sale here.
