Eco-Friendly Beauty Products You Might Be Missing 2018
Did you know that there are bare alternatives for every beauty product you own? From shampoo to hair dye, there is a natural or organic alternative available. With a ban on micro-beads, the beauty world is drastically changing.
Eco-friendly beauty products are taking over. We’re all moving toward an effort that lifts the lids of unnatural products and replaces them with eco-friendly alternatives.
It’s time to ditch our goo-hoarding, plastic ware, and toxic chemical-filled past for a future full of natural, biodegradable products. You can look good and save the planet, one beauty product at a time:
Lush Shampoo Bars
Small bar, big potential
Starting at around $11, Lush offers a green alternative to medium-sized shampoo bottles. The days of hoarding empty plastic bottles in your shower are gone. Lush offers a specialized handmade shampoo bar that can last up to 80 washes!
A study by Johnson and Johnson shows that on a yearly average, 552 million plastic bottles wind up in U.S. landfills every year. Thanks to Lush’s new product, you don’t have to contribute to that statistic this year!
“One of these little bars is actually the equivalent of three medium-sized bottles,” says Meghan Campbell of Lush in an ATTN: interview. Not only does this product offer longevity, but it’s also the perfect size. Also, Lush does not test on animals.
They also make their product out of natural ingredients like Cinnamon Leaf Oil and Clove Bud Oil, making their shampoo bars an ethical and healthier choice for your scalp.
