Hey earth muffins! If you’re on an eco journey, one of the easiest swaps to make is to opt for zero waste bar products over those in plastic bottles. I’ve reviewed tons of shampoo and conditioner bars over the years… And now I can share about the very first face cleanser I’ve tried out! I have sensitive skin that is prone to breaking out with my cycle, so I’ve never thought I should change my face wash. But, a couple months ago I decided to give it a whirl. Here’s my Ethique Bliss Bar review in all of its glory!

I’ve been testing out a ton of shampoo bars over the years… And, recently, a new conditioner as well!

Hey earth muffins! Shaving is a regular grooming activity for many individuals; but, the disposable plastic razors often used contribute to environmental waste. A much better alternative is the safety razor. With a durable, reusable design, these razors offer a sustainable and cost-effective way to achieve a close shave while minimizing waste. If you’re new to using a safety razor or looking for tips to enhance your experience, here are some helpful suggestions:
1. Pick a high quality razor and blades
Without a good razor and blades you won’t be able to get a nice shave. Safety razors come in different styles, designs, and handle lengths. In addition, you want to pick one made of a metal that will last you many years. I personally purchased this safety razor (affiliate link) back in 2018 – it is still in perfect condition! Also opt for higher quality blades (like these from Astra) as well.

Hey earth muffins! I am a huge fan of Zerra & Co’s eco-friendly makeup products. In the past, I’ve reviewed their zero waste mascara and eyeshadow… And it’s time for another review today! Along with these products, I’ve also been using the Zerra & Co eyeliner for the past few months. There is plenty to say about this low waste makeup, so keep reading for a full review!
What I Love About This Eyeliner
The first thing I adore about this eyeliner is the fact that it is truly sustainable. This company lives and breathes their sustainability values (which I fully support!). The eyeliner comes in a little glass jar with a metal top. They even give you an option to get it with a bamboo eyeliner brush or to avoid the brush and just use one you already have. After you use up the product, you can either reuse the jar (perhaps for another makeup product) or participate in Zerra’s container return program. Such a great zero waste brand!

Hey earth muffins! Back in September I wrote a post about CleanO2’s carbon capture bar soaps… And let’s just say I still love them (and have gotten my boyfriend hooked too!). Now that they came out with a line of shampoo and conditioner bars, I was excited to give them a try. CleanO2 kindly sent over their Co-Wash for curly hair, so let’s get right into my thoughts in this CleanO2 co-wash review!
What I Love About This Product
Like I mentioned in my CleanO2 soap review, their products are made using an awesome carbon capture process. The founders of the company created the CarbinX, which captures carbon dioxide emissions from building heating systems. The result of this process is non-toxic pearl ash/potassium carbonate… Which is then upcycled into their sustainable products!

Hey earth muffins! If you are looking for an eco-friendly swap in the bathroom, I recommend switching to a shampoo bar. Lush has a ton of great ones to try out… I’ve tried a bunch of them so far; today I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the Soak and Float shampoo bar. Keep reading for everything I love (and dislike) about this sustainable product!
What I Love About This Shampoo Bar
The first pro of this shampoo bar is that it is a great sustainable alternative to typical shampoos. No plastic bottle, no packaging, and no watered down shampoo. It is always better to choose bar over bottles because they are a much more eco, zero waste swap. Lush does a great job with shipping (if you can’t pick up the bar in a local Lush store). The box it comes in is small and fits the product exactly. I love that this brand uses water soluble packing peanuts too!

Hey earth muffins! If you have been reading this blog for awhile, you will know that I am a huge fan of Lush’s shampoo bars. Once or twice a year I will place a large order on Lush to stock up on bars (and reduce my shipping impact). This time, I decided to try out some of their low waste makeup too! Back in high school I used to be much more experimental with makeup. I remember absolutely loving to wear blue eyeliner; why couldn’t I rock it now? So, I purchased Lush’s blue “Motivation” eyeliner… Keep reading for a full Lush liquid eyeliner review!
What I Love About this Product
First up, this is a great sustainable eyeliner alternative! The bottle is made of glass which can be recycled or reused once you use up the product. It also doesn’t come with a brush which is awesome because I already have my own. (You can of course buy a brush from Lush/drugstore if you don’t already have one) Lush also does a great job when shipping your products. The box is small and fits only what you ordered; in addition, it is packed full of corn packing peanuts that dissolve in water. Amazing!
