Eco-friendly products to get you squeaky-clean, teeth to toes
If you’re trying to green your lifestyle, there’s no better place to start than your own body. These eco-friendly products will get you squeaky-clean, teeth to toes.
By Rebecca Schneider If you’re trying to live a greener lifestyle by eliminating toxins in your household, why slather them on your body? Reading the labels on conventional body-care products will make you want to take another shower! Chemicals like sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and artificial colors and fragrances are prominent ingredients in many personal-care products. Choosing Eco-friendly alternatives is not only better for the planet, you’ll also reap the benefits of highly effective natural products. I put plenty of Eco products to the test, and this list contains only affordable body-care products that are effective and free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates and artificial colors. (A few, marked with an asterisk, contain artificial fragrances.) Now that’s a fresh feeling!
