Earth Happy Products



Below are some Environmentally friendly products I've grown really fond of and wanted to recommend them to others! All of them are non-toxic, biodegradable ingredients, and not tested on animals in any way. Some may cost a little more, but if you can afford it it is the responsible thing to do. [Finally a trend that makes sense and is worth following through with!]





Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Laundry detergent (found at Kroger/grocery stores) cool website!
comes in smaller container but you use a third the product with each wash in comparison
to ALL or TIDE, etc. I've tried both scents and like them both. Very mild.

Seventh Generation Products (Kroger) print out coupons from their website!
They have tons of products. I've only used the dish soap and all purpose cleaner. They
state that if every household in America replaced 1 25oz petroleum based dish soap with
their 25 oz product, we could save 81,000 barrels of oil, which could heat 4,600 homes for
a year...or just conserve oil since we will be running out EVENTUALLY.

Method Products (Target/BIGGS and probably other places) if you order online you can save $
They have every product you could think of as well. check them out! i haven't found one
yet that i don't like---actually, i take that back. I am not a fan of the surface wipes. They
dried out quickly. if you use them up quickly it may not be a problem.

Kiss My Face (Target, Kroger, etc) really cool website!
These are organic body products. i really love the lotions, and i've used the bar soap. i like
the bar soap but don't use on kids---really stings when they get in your eyes. i want to
try more of their products soon

Palmers Cocoa Butter
smells like vanilla, works super well, had vitamin E in it...use it on my daughter and she
has extremely sensitive and dry skin and it works well for her...i use it to. used it with my
pregnancy and didn't get horrible horrible stretch marks--->not sure if was the lotion or
not, but i like to think so!

Body Shop lots of good deals on their website!
My sister-in-law just started selling body shop products, though youcan also buy them
online and at a Body Shop store. I didn't know the products aren't tested on animals and
they are natural products that are also environmentally friendly! I ordered shampoo,
conditioner
make-up and some lotions. I tried the lotions and love them and they smell super
yummy! they also do a lot of charity things which is always good! Way better than bath
and body works!

Please share any products you know of or use that are also earth and animal friendly!!!!

I prefer the Seventh Generation products. Especially the lavender dish soap. I love the smell of that stuff. Even though you can use less I tend to put too much in though because I like the smell and lots of bubbles. Bubbles just makes things seem cleaner to me. I also like the Kiss Me products but not their facial cleansers.

Thanks for the tips, I'm definitely trying to be more aware of these types of things and it's hard to tell which of these products are good and which need some work.
