8 Eco Product Swaps You Can Add To Your Everyday Beauty Routine

With knowledge of the growing environmental issues the world currently faces, it’s nice to have easy, environmentally friendly alternatives to swap out harmful products for. However, these products can be difficult to find and not everyone has the time to do all the research behind it. Thankfully, a guide of eco product swaps has been curated for you!

Hygiene
REN body wash is made with Atlantic kelp and magnesium. TerraCycle, known for innovative recycling, created this body wash with REN. It is made with completely recycled material and over 18% of it is created with plastic from the ocean. Unfortunately, it is still in the making but will be available later this summer.

Meow Meow Tweet’s deodorant packaging is completely compostable. The actual deodorant itself is also vegan, organic, and natural. Even though companies are starting to remove aluminum from their deodorants because it can cause cancer, not many have also changed their entire product – inside and out – to be eco-friendly. This deodorant comes in lavender bergamot, eucalyptus lemon, and grapefruit; the grapefruit scent does not contain baking soda.

The Georganics bamboo toothbrush is completely biodegradable and compostable since it is pure bamboo. Toothbrushes may not take up much space, but since you have to change them often, they add up. This company’s toothbrush eliminates the waste all together for you.

Bathroom Products
TOTM period products are organic and biodegradable. The products include tampons, pads, and liners. Although menstrual cups are also a great alternative, they can take a while to get used to and are a huge step from typical period products, so this option is one to consider.

Who Gives A Crap Toilet Paper may be luxury toilet paper but the company makes it worth it. All of the products are made without trees, half of the profits go to building toilets, and it is made from 100% recycled paper. They also sell bamboo toilet paper.

Makeup
EcoDust glitter is biodegradable, made from eucalyptus trees, and is vegan. Although glitter may not be an everyday essential, it’s definitely one to bring when going to festivals. Normal glitter has a very harmful impact on wildlife, so this is an easy swap for that.

Klorane makeup remover wipes are biodegradable and are made of French Cornflour. On top of this, they have no fragrance and are paraben-free. These completely guilt-free wipes are good for both your face and the environment.

Hydration
Plastic water bottles are a huge issue and are very harmful to the environment. Thankfully, S’well water bottles are reusable and BPA-free. The company is owned by women and supports a ton of charities. Plus, the bottles keep your drink cold for 24 hours and warm for 12 hours. Instead of grabbing for a water bottle every day, simply fill this one up throughout the day.

With these eco-alternatives in mind, you can now swap out some products in your everyday routine and remove some of the guilt and harm other products may cause. Although it may be difficult to stop using some of the products you use and love, small changes over time can make a huge difference on the environment.
