The time of chills, pumpkins and candy is back, and this year, we're celebrating Halloween in a greener way. How? Follow the guide for a bewitching Halloween, without casting any spells on our beautiful planet.
Halloween, the holiday so eagerly awaited by young and old alike, is often synonymous with scary costumes, terrifying makeup, spectacular decorations and sweets galore. However, this year, why not opt for a more eco-friendly Halloween? In this article, we will guide you through different steps to make this holiday fantastic while reducing your ecological footprint.
🎃 An eco-responsible disguise: the guide for a green Halloween
- The Witch in the Closet
Say no to industrial plastic costumes and yes to creativity! Take out that old black dress, add some accessories like a hat made with cardboard and recycled fabric. There you have it!
- The chic scarecrow
Transform yourself without spending a dime or buying new materials. A plaid shirt, old jeans, a straw hat, and you're ready to haunt the night.
- Recycled Pirate
Use scraps of old fabric to create a headband, belt, and frayed skirt or pants. Seashells can be used as jewelry to complete your sea pirate look.
- The Artist
Wear an old shirt with paint stains, a beret, and carry a palette made from a piece of recycled cardboard. To find second-hand clothes, think about Emaüs or Vinted.
🎃 Organic makeup for Halloween: enhance your face without scaring the planet
Avoid toxic products and opt for organic. Some brands, like BioSorcier or NaturellementHalloween, offer special palettes for the party. And for a terrifying look:
- The ethical vampire
Use an organic burgundy lipstick for your lips and as an eyeshadow. Black pencil to highlight your eyes and a few touches of white for a pale complexion.
- The wood fairy
Play with gold and green hues for an enchanting look. Use organic makeup products to preserve your skin and the environment.
🎃 Eco-friendly DIY decorations for Halloween
Before you buy, think recycling! Here are some ideas for spooky and eco-friendly decorations:
- Recycled fabric ghosts
Take some old sheets or white t-shirts. Form a small balloon with the fabric, wrap a rubber band around it to create the ghost's head, and let the rest hang down. Hang these little ghosts in your garden or on your porch.
- Cardboard bat
Collect cardboard (cereal boxes, packaging, etc.) and cut out bat silhouettes. Paint them black and hang them with string for a mysterious atmosphere.
- Wool Pumpkins
Wrap orange wool around a balloon, leaving gaps. Coat with glue and let dry. When dry, pop the balloon and remove it. You will have a pumpkin-shaped wool structure.
- Luminous jars
Collect glass jars. Paint them with Halloween designs or wrap them in orange and black tissue paper. Place an LED candle inside for a glowing effect without the risk of fire.
- Toilet Paper Roll Monsters
Collect empty rolls and paint them. Add googly eyes, mouths and other features to create fun little monsters.
🎃 Organic potions and lotions for a bewitching Halloween
To take care of your skin while having fun, dive into the bubbling pot of DIY beauty treatments. Here are some recipes to transform yourself while taking care of your skin:
- Pumpkin Mask
Mix organic pumpkin puree, honey, plain yogurt, and a pinch of cinnamon. Apply it to your face for a fresh, glowing complexion.
- Black Sugar and Orange Scrub
Mix together black sugar, coconut oil and a few drops of orange essential oil for a spooky but nourishing scrub.
🎃 Eco-responsible makeup removal

But once the party is over, how do you make sure that the makeup removal step doesn't add an extra environmental footprint to our planet? With products like those in the On Behalf range, you can take care of your skin while respecting the environment.

On Behalf's Exfolie-moi treatment is the ideal solution for this task. Formulated with natural ingredients, it gently removes all impurities.
