I’ve heard so much about “green” products from friends and the media over the past few years and never gave it much thought until my youngest son’s issues with sensitive skin became known. Since his skin is extremely sensitive, I do try to use green products to clean his clothes, bedsheets, toys and room.
I don’t always succeed in making the right decisions. In fact, in these tough economic times, I must admit the price of a product can and does trump its green qualities. However, with ecostore USA’s green products I don’t have to choose. I can have a green product that doesn’t break the bank.
I first heard of ecostore over Twitter. At that point, I was given the opportunity to select two products that my family could use. I was able to select from their Baby Care, Bath & Body, Hair, Household, and Pet Care products. I chose the Pure Oxygen Whitener and the Laundry Liquid.
The Pure Oxygen Whitener is made with oil of citrus, coconut and other plant-based ingredients. Its an alternative to traditional bleach, which can be very strong and abrasive to people with sensitive skin. It does not have the harsh smell found on the bleach I normally purchase, yet brightens clothes just as well. I have also used it to clean my son’s toys.
The second product I received was the Laundry Liquid, a concentrated laundry liquid, made from “100% Certified Organic Eucalyptus oil and plant-based ingredients”. The Laundry Liquid is gentle enough for people with sensitive skin, like my son. I also selected the liquid form, versus the powder form, because I find its easier to use in the laundromat.
The prices for the products I received, Pure Oxygen Whitener and Laundry Liquid, were very reasonable at $12 and $11, respectively. They also lasted for quite some time because they were concentrated, doing more with less. The prices on their other products are just as reasonable as the two I received which means price is not the determining factor anymore.
