What’s in My Eco Bathroom?

Welcome to my eco-ish bathroom! Here is a list of products I have used and loved for years in the bathroom. Let us know your favorite zero waste bathroom swaps below!

• Bamboo hairbrush from Earth Hero

• Bamboo toothbrush from Earth Hero

• Leaf Shave razor and blade refills (plus their recycling tin to recycle the blades)

• Leaf dermaplaner to avoid those single-use ones

• Shave soap from Badger is water-free and plastic-free

• Plaine Products make up SO much of my bathroom:

  • Toner

  • Moisturizer

  • Lotion

  • Dan’s shampoo and conditioner

• Floofah loofas that are 100% compostable

• Reusable tissues from Boaty or some that I have made myself from old fabric

• Whisper bidet is our bidet of choice, but we have also used the Tushy, too!

• Period underwear from several amazing brands (check out the reviews here):

  • Modibodi

  • Period Company

  • Saalt

  • Kayaness

  • Lilova

  • Revol Cares

  • Wuka

• Babo Botanicals sunscreen (though I have tried other sunscreens in the past)

• All paper/cotton swabs that I just get locally

• Reusable floss pick that I found on Etsy. Though, I would recommend a metal one. This plastic one was 3D printed and often breaks so I superglue it back together

• Compostable floss for Dan. My teeth are too close together so it shreds it.

• Yay For Earth balm that I use as moisturizer and to heal wounds

• Dry shampoo from Eco Roots

• Lots of eco lip balms

  • Eco Roots

  • Yay for Earth

  • Sustain Yourself

  • Sulu

• Plenty of eco makeup from:

  • Axiology

  • Fat and the Moon

  • Zerra & Co

• Towels and wash cloths from Quince

• Soap bars that I find locally

• Shampoo currently from Love, Beauty, Planet but looking forward to trying Babo Botanicals once I run out

  • Back in my shampoo bar days, I loved HiBar!

• Lots of different eco toilet paper is in rotation at our house (check out the reviews here):

  • Who Gives a Crap

  • Reel Paper

  • Panda Rolls

  • Whole Roll

• Trash bags from Repurpose

• My hair dye isn’t the most eco, but it’s better than not being eco at all as is from Good Dye Young

• When we run out of what we’ve already bought, I plan to buy Patch bamboo bandages

• For eco cleaning, you can reference this video!

• I’ve tried lots of eco deodorants in my day (check out the reviews here) but here are some of my faves:

  • HiBar

  • Sustain Yourself

  • MeowMeowTweet

  • Native

• I made my own makeup remover pads from old cloth, but you can get some here!

• Other than Plaine Products, I’ve also been loving Uni and Rebrand for my eco skincare

Now, I’m not perfect! I do a few unsustainable things in the bathroom, too:

• I use toothpaste in plastic again. I had 10 cavities filled about 1.5 years ago, and I won’t go through that again. Back to regular toothpaste for me!

  • Toothpaste tabs may not be my personal jam, but if they’re yours, here are a few great brands

    • Bite

    • Georganics

    • Huppy

    • Unpaste

• I sometimes use applicator-free tampons from Dame. They’re less waste, but still waste. These are best for me when I have long days out of the home and can’t as easily change my period underwear

• I gave reusable toilet paper a short go, but it just wasn’t for me. I’m glad the bidet helps me cut down on TP usage!

• As mentioned, I cannot use compostable floss, so I do use plastic floss, but I use the floss pick to cut down on my floss usage, and it also helps my arthritis!

• Speaking of, I have arthritis and chronic migraines. I need medication to live a normal life, and I don’t feel guilty about it!
