Solid Shampoo

Lush's completely waste-free gem is this week's featured Eco-Product

Holy moly is this little disk ever amazing. Not only is it waste free with no plastic packaging, it also lasts about 60-80 washes which is twice-three times the use you'll get from a regular packaged shampoo! The shampoo bar is also preservative free and natural, yet it still froths right up once you rub it straight onto your scalp. The above bar is Squeaky Green,  designed for stimulating the scalp; I own a mini version of it and have only used up half of it in the past month and a half! As described on Lush's website, "it will leave your hair and the environment clean!" Actually all of Lush's shampoo bars are  specialized for different hair types and effects, and they even have conditioning bars. The best part of all? They smell amazing and only cost between 7-10  CDN dollars each! 

Hard solid shampoo, for shower's with hard water! 

Save the planet, shower with solid shampoo & a friend. 

Solid Sents

This week's eco-product: solid perfume.

Ganesha's Garden 

I have found three different brands of solid perfume that provide great smelling, compact, and minimal waste odor benefits.  The above Ganesha's Garden can be bought online, or at your local Planet Organic store for around $10 each. These have the capability of being personalized, for your specific olfactory cravings. Plus, all of the ingredients are natural and come in a meticulously hand carved stone box which can also be reused. 

Lush's 

My favorite and currently used Lush solid perfume American Cream, is packaged in a compact 100% recycled aluminum package. Its main ingredient is pure vanilla, and costs $7.95. There are 7 more sents viewable via the link above.

Pacifica's

These are gorgeously packaged 100% natural solid fragrances. You can find Pacificia solid perfumes and products at a lot of speciality stores- mine came from the local Wonderlust- for about $9-13 dollars each. My favorite: the Gardenia perfume. Each scent also has corresponding candles, lotions, soaps, and even spray perfume. 

Solid smells- sexy and sustainable. 

Lush Massage Bars

This week's eco-product!

The chocolate and honey massage bar, my personal favorite. I have three.

I am addicted to the smell of this adorable product. I use it instead of body lotion , a) because it is very moisture rich, b) it makes me smell deliciously lovable. I find these massage bars are really great for dry hands, freshly shaved legs, and boyfriend's sore backs. They're about 7-10 dollars each, and if you buy two you get a free tin to keep them in. Best of all, they're all made in Canada by real people, (whom you can  see the faces of on most lush products), and from all natural ingredients. So what are you waiting for, get to the nearest Lush, sniff one out (literally), and try and avoid all of the overly friendly sales people (the only thing I don't like about Lush).

Bewitched(above), view or buy them all at your local Lush store, or on their website.
