How sustainable is your shower?
Your daily shower is more harmful than you realize
Ideally, a shower should be a cleansing experience to wash the day off at night or get a peppy start in the morning. However, from the dozens of questionable ingredients that can double as tongue-twisters to the very tap water that rinses it off, your skin and hair suffer from the effects of these unseen chemicals.
The planet also suffers from the microplastics that are left behind in nonrecylcable bottles and plastic loofahs.
Join us on this hopeful journey as we unveil all-natural alternatives that will transform your shower into a blissful, eco-friendly oasis. Let’s lather up with ingredients Mother Nature would approve of, leaving our skin and hair radiant and the Earth beaming with joy.
Making your shower more sustainable is easier than you think with these sustainable swaps:
Bar Shampoo
Say goodbye to the clutter caused by plastic bottles and switch to all-natural shampoo bars. Crafted from natural ingredients and packaged sustainably, these bars are an excellent choice for reducing plastic waste. To use, simply lather the bar by rubbing it onto your scalp, gently lifting and separating your tresses.
Pro Tip: Bar shampoos are great for travel since they aren’t liquid. Never have to worry about leaky little 3 oz/ 90 ml bottles anymore.
Kitsch
We love a dedicated and cruelty-free beauty company <3
Kitsch is woman-owned and specializes in eco-friendly hair care products and accessories. Their shampoo bars are sustainably packaged, replacing two plastic bottles each. Plus, their products are cruelty-free, plant-based, and made in the USA.
With amazing results and an eco-friendly pledge, there is a Kitsche shampoo for everyone.
Kitsch Rice Shampoo and Conditioner Bars for Strengthening
People have been using rice water in their haircare for centuries as it is known to rejuvinate dry and damaged hair. These Kitsch Rice Protein Shampoo and Conditioner Bars are great for balancing pH and adding shine to your hair.
Kitsch Tea Tree & Mint Clarifying Shampoo Bar for Dandruff
If you suffer with an itchy scalp and dandruff, Kitsche Tea Tree and Mint Clarifying Shampoo Bar is the perfect, zero-waste solution for you. Like the Rice Bars above, it balances pH, plus the smell alone is invigorating, leaving your hair feeling flakey-free and squeaky clean.
Kitsch Purple Shampoo Bar for Blonde Hair
This one is for the color-treated girlies and beyond. Prevent brassiness and retain lustre with the Kitsche Purple Shampoo Bar. The biotin in it promotes vibrancy and volume.
Raw Basics Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Solid Bars Set
Another solid (pun intended) shampoo bar is this Raw Basics Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner Set. Many of the best hair care products on the market incorporates argan oil, as it adds a sleek and natural shine to dry hair.
Bar Soap
Lather up in the old-fashioned way.
You may have heard of these companies from the shampoo section. Kitsche and Raw Basics also make bar soaps that arrive in sustainable packaging and are made with the same plant-based ingredients that we love.
Kitsch Detoxifying Charcoal Body Wash Bar
The Kitsch Detoxyfing Charcoal Body Wash Bar gently exfoliates using the natural purifying properties of activated charcoal to remove excess oils. It will leave your skin feeling radiant and nourished with its added Vitamin E and healthy Sunflower Seed Oil.
Kitsch Exfoliating Sugar Body Scrub Bar
Infused with coconut oil and sugar, the Kitsche Exfoliating Sugar Soap Bar is a sweet substitute to old-fashioned body wash. The grittiness of the sugar buffs away dead skin, while the coconut oil hydrates and soothes new skin, leaving you glowing and smelling like dessert.
Earth is…Body Wash Bar for All Skin Types
Similar to the sugar scrub mentioned earlier, the Earth Is… Body Wash Bar utilizes oatmeal to gently exfoliate and soften your skin. Oats have long been revered for their natural healing properties, offering relief for skin irritations like rashes or chicken pox. This exquisite soap then nourishes your skin with the hydrating benefits of coconut oil.
Loofas and Scrubbers
These all-natural body scrubbers come from the earth and return as they are fully biodegradable. Unlike their synthetic counterparts that often become breeding grounds for bacteria, bamboo and loofah scrubbers offer a microbial alternative, ensuring a cleaner and more hygienic scrubbing experience.
Tayvada Bamboo Vegan Dry Brush
From its bamboo handle to agave bristles, every component of this Tayvada Bamboo Dry Brush is thoughtfully crafted with the environment in mind. Experience a solid grip and effective exfoliation with the 100% cotton ergonomic strap. With its robust design, this scrubber ensures a deep tissue connection for a truly invigorating experience.
Egyptian Shower Loofah Sponges
Loofahs have a natural porosity that creates a luxurious, sudsy lather, while their sturdy and fibrous strands work wonders for exfoliation. Similar to bamboo, loofah also has antibacterial properties that ensure natural cleanliness and hygiene with each use. Experience the perfect combination of cleanliness and exfoliation with the amazing attributes of this natural plant that you can grow in your backyard.
Naroa Natural Sea Sponge for Bathing
Every Naroa Natural Sea Sponge for Bathing is handpicked from the sea, bringing with it the invigorating scent of the ocean. These sponges also offer hygienic benefits by effectively clearing out pores and reducing blemishes. With their porous and dense structure, these sponges create a luxurious lather that not only pampers your skin but also helps you save on soap and money in the long run.
Con: Sea Sponge is considered as an animal, making this a non-vegan scrubber.
Bathmats
Revamp your bathroom experience with the switch to eco-friendly alternatives. Polyester bathmats, unfortunately, can become a breeding ground for mold, harboring bacteria and even trace amounts of fecal matter. Say goodbye to these unsanitary conditions and embrace the benefits of bamboo and stone mats. Not only do they offer quick drying properties, but they are also naturally microbial, ensuring a cleaner surface. Cleaning them is a breeze, with no need for a washing machine. Experience a fresh and hygienic bathroom with these easy-to-maintain alternatives.
SUTERA – Stone Bath Mat, Diatomaceous Earth Shower Mat
More than just a floormat, the Sutera Stone Bath Mat can also be used under a dish drying rack. It absorbs water in minutes, and is built to last several years. It comes with a secondary nonslip mat as well as a sanding tool to increase its longevity.
Shower Heads
The quality of your tap water, depending on where you live, has a direct and drying impact on your skin and hair, as it is often treated with chlorine and other chemicals. Outdated pipe systems may introduce traces of lead into the water supply, adding to the irritation.
Say goodbye to the potential drawbacks of tap water and embrace the rejuvenating benefits of these specially designed shower heads that purify water and balance pH with the power of natural minerals.
Zenbody Shower Head With Crystal Beads
Made with recycled materials, this high-pressured purifying shower head will save you money over time by efficiently streamlining the water from your pipes. Not only does it filter out nasty impurities, it has been proven to nourish skin and hair by softening the water that passes through it.

The Chakra Crystal Shower Head does what purifying shower heads do and more! It is made with 7 semi-precious healing stones: Red Jasper, Red Agate, Citrine, Green Aventurine, Aquamarine, Amethyst and Clear Quartz. It also incorporates healing lights for both a physical and metaphysical cleansing.
Oral Care
Rid yourself of that nonrecyclable, goopy tube of toothpaste once and for all.
No more frugal squeezing for that last bit! It’s time to make the switch to chewable toothpaste tablets. Not only are they convenient, but they are also free of fluoride, ensuring a fresh and clean sensation in your mouth. Experience the revolution of oral care with these innovative and eco-friendly alternatives. Plus, they are great for travel!

Packaged in a recyclable can and proudly crafted in California, these exceptional tablets provide an exquisite clean, leaving your teeth and gums feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Isshah Biodegradable Bamboo Charcoal Toothbrushes
As stated many times above, bamboo is naturally microbial and more hygenic than plastic. Traditional stationary toothbrushes often harbor an abundance of bacteria and contribute to the mounting waste in landfills. Even if you aren’t lookng to replace your trusted mechanical toothbrush, these bamboo ones are great for travel, houseguests, or even your gym bag for on-the-go freshening up.
BAMBOEARTH Natural Dental Floss Picks
