Anyone who’s used Drunk Elephant‘s products can attest: their packaging is a dream, and there’s a very specific pain in your soul when you squeeze out the last pump. But just because the product is gone, doesn’t mean you need to toss the packaging—much to the contrary! In the video above, I’ll show you how to reuse Drunk Elephant packaging.

Besides the obvious visual appeal, one of the reasons I love their packaging is that it’s perfect for storing air- and light-sensitive products. It’s hard to believe that there are still so many brands selling vitamin C serums in glass bottles with droppers! When I want to test a new vitamin C serum, I simply reuse my C-Firma packaging. (By the way, one of my favorite vitamin C serums is the Timeless Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid, which recently got a packaging upgrade. If you haven’t read my post on it, check it out!)
I can confidently say that Drunk Elephant packaging is great for travel—I’ve never had any issues with spills or alterations in pressure! Since the brand offers a variety of sizes, from it’s adorable “Littles” collection to its full size options, you can choose whichever size suits you best. Above it all, though, reusing Drunk Elephant packaging (or any packaging!) is a great step for anyone who wants a more sustainable beauty routine.
In the video, I’ll show you how to reuse three kinds of packaging:
- 30 mL | 1 oz
- 15 mL | 0.5 oz
- 8 mL | 0.27 oz
The first two work the same way. The third… well, watch the video and you’ll see! I decided to shoot this all in one go, even after I accidentally messed up in one of the three. I figured it was more important to show what could go wrong, since it could easily happen to anyone!
Have you thought of reusing Drunk Elephant packaging before? What other brands make high quality packaging worth reusing—or not? Let me know in the comments.
