Eco-Friendly Body Wash Swaps: 5 Easy Ideas
Look in most showers and you'll see a lot of plastic bottles. If you'd like to cut back, here are five easy swaps that we use in our own home.
1. Swap Body Wash for Bar Soap
A bar of soap needs no plastic bottle and has no added water. Every bar we make has shea butter, coconut milk and kaolin clay, and no sulfates. Try our Sea Salt Agave bar.
2. Love a Creamy Wash? Choose Glass
If you really like a creamy wash, our Whipped Shea Butter Body Wash & Shaving Cream comes in a glass jar. It's a body wash and shaving cream in one, so it replaces two bottles.
3. Swap Bottled Shampoo for a Bar
Our NUTRIENT FOCUS Shampoo Bar and Conditioner Bar come with a reusable travel tin.
4. Swap Lotion Bottles for a Lotion Bar
Our Shea Butter Lotion Bar is solid, so there's no pump bottle to toss.
5. Hang Your Soap
A soap on a rope dries between uses, so it lasts longer and you buy less.
Make Your Swaps Last
- Keep bars on a soap dish that drains.
- Keep them out of the shower spray.
- Store extras somewhere dry.
Our Tip
You don't have to change everything at once. Swap one thing when it runs out. Little changes add up.
