Be more Eco! Many people are used to continuously buying the same products for years that it leads them to be scared of change, but we need to start thinking about our home and by that I not only mean where we sleep at night but also our planet.
It is time to ditch the plastic and I'm here to inform you of changes to make to free your home of plastic, free the animals from being tested and benefit the environment.
Our bathrooms are full of plastic products from shampoo to body washes, below I have provided my list for eco, plastic free, vegan and cruelty free products, I hope this provides you with the information and motivation to change how you see the products you use and encourage your to consider alternatives.
Hair Care
Lush - Jason and the Argan Oil this shampoo soap is amazing, it's very foamy, soft and the smell is divine, its retails at about £8.00 and the longevity you get with this makes it very worthwhile. The Argan oil will add shine and smoothness to your hair while the string yet beautiful rose scent will leave your hair smelling amazing.
Lush- Jungle this conditioner bar is full of fruity delights, it will leave your hair moisturised and smooth due to the inclusion of avocado and cocoa butter, you will find this for about £8.50 per bar, the small size means you will save money due to the longevity you will get out of this and its size means you will save space in your bathroom.
Body Wash
Faith In Nature- Orange soap 100g, this soap is suitable for Normal & Oily skin types, there is no artificial colours as the ingredients are all natural, the orange oil will provide your skin with a deep and cleansing clean and the fragrant is heavenly, this product retails at about £2.29.
Alternative by Puma- Coconut milk & Ylang 95g, this handmade soap is perfect to calm irritated skin, the added oatmeal pieces accompanied with coconut milk does wonders to moisturise the skin. this product it about £2.29.
Dental
Georganic Natural Toothpowder- I really love this, my favourite flavour without a doubt is spearmint, it cleans without the use of chemicals such as fluoride compounds, peroxide or nasty artificial flavourings, it is really a lovely product, the added bonus is once finished you can recycle the glass or keep it to use for another purpose around the house. This product is about £6.90 per 60ml but it will go a long way.
Geoganic mouthwash tablets- OMG this is such an amazing product! It contains 180 tablets within a pack, this should last you for around 6 months and for only £6.90 is a real steal, I love the orange flavour and it will leave your mouth feeling super fresh and clean, you dissolve each tablet within a glass of water and rinse thoroughly, as easy as that!
Humble Bamboo toothbrush- this toothbrush is made from sustainable bamboo, this hygienic and soft (dentist-approved) nylon bristles ensures a deep clean, with the current situation seeing over 2 billion plastic toothbrushes ending up in landfill every year, this is a great way to do your bit and not add to that statistic. This organic bamboo toothbrush lasts as long as a regular toothbrush but is BPA free and the packaging is made from 100 per cent recycled materials and its only £3.99, a real must buy.
Shaving
Bambaw- Stainless steel double edge metal safety razor, this is an amazing item, with so many plastic razors thrown out and ending up in landfill its time an alternative was available and this is it, the razors come in a choice of colours such as black, rose gold or silver, it fits all standard double edge razor blades so you can always buy them from the supermarkets or online separately, you also have one blade that is included, this product is about £19.95 and is one that should be in everyones bathroom.
Mutiny Razor Chrome - when you order a box a mini box from Mutiny you will get a shaving soap, a stainless steel razor that comes with 5 free recyclable razor blades, its a small package but I think its a way to get started, the packaging is recycled and no plastic at all, I really love this and you a option to choose from rose gold or chrome colour for the razor.
I hope you have enjoyed the above suggestions about eco friendly toiletries that I have used and recommend, that are great alternatives of which I will be posting a few more in the next few days, so keep a look out.
