Reusable cotton buds and eco-friendly Oriculi: Zero-waste ear care

Adopt a responsible hygiene routine and put an end to single-use waste in the bathroom. At Salle d’ô, discover our range of sustainable ear-cleaning accessories: eco-friendly Oriculi (made from beech wood or bio-based bioplastic) as well as reusable silicone cotton buds (including the famous LastObject LastSwab range).

Why give up disposable plastic or cardboard cotton buds?

As well as being a major source of plastic pollution in the oceans, the use of disposable cotton buds poses risks to ear hygiene by encouraging the build-up of earwax. Opting for a sustainable ear cleaner or a reusable cotton bud offers several advantages:

• Eco-friendly and zero-waste: A single oriculi or washable cotton bud replaces thousands of single-use sticks.
• Cost-effective: A worthwhile investment designed to last for years, or even a lifetime.
• Safer for your health: When used correctly at the entrance to the ear, the oriculi and silicone tips prevent the build-up of earwax deep within the ear canal.

Solutions available in the Cotton Buds and Oriculi category

1. The Oriculi (traditional eco-friendly ear cleaner)

Originating in Japan, the oriculi is an ear spoon that removes excess earwax visible at the entrance to the ear. Discover our eco-designed models:

• Beech wood oriculi: Made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests, natural and compostable.
• Oriculi made from bio-based bioplastic: Derived from castor oil, durable, with a lifetime guarantee and manufactured in France by specialist brands such as Lamazuna.

2. Reusable silicone ear swabs

For those looking for a sensation similar to that of a traditional cotton bud without the waste, reusable ear swabs are the ideal solution.

• Basic version: Soft, washable silicone tips for daily ear cleaning.
• Beauty version: Precision tips designed specifically for touch-ups (mascara or eyeliner).

How should you use and look after your ear cleaner or washable cotton bud?

It’s very simple to use: simply remove the earwax from the entrance to the ear canal without pushing too far in. After each use, clean the head of your tool with a little lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry it before storing it in its portable case.
