Looking for a few green products
Dishwasher soap?
Face lotion?
Shampoo and conditioner?
Re: Looking for a few green products
Face lotion? Keys Luminous
Shampoo and conditioner? baking soda wash/ apple cider vinegar rinse (both mixed with water)
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
I tried baking soda with an apple cider vinegar rinse a few months ago. I made it 3 weeks. DH said I looked greasy and had dandruff really bad.
I'm sad it didn't work. I would love to try again, but am scared. I don't wanna be greasy!! Any tips? Should I use an organic shampoo every couple days?
Greasy hair and dandruff isn't a good look, that's for sure! Did you try using different ratios of baking soca/ACV to water? You could always try using regular shampoo every couple days and see what happens. Maybe it depends on the hair type.
I'm sure this wasn't super helpful. I hope someone else has ideas for you.

Dishwasher soap - Ecos Wave
Big E (6) & Little E (2.5)
Dishwasher soap?- 7th Generation
Face lotion? From Trader Joes in an orange tube.
Shampoo and conditioner? Again trader joes stuff
Dishwasher soap? We currently don't have a dishwasher.
Face lotion? I use Trader Joe's Spa Regenerating Antioxidant Moisturizing Face Lotion (yes, it is the world's longest product name... ever)
Shampoo and conditioner? Use Burt's Bees and Kiss My Face shampoos and conditioners
Dishwasher soap? I don't know. We haven't run out of the old stuff yet so I haven't switched products.
Face lotion? I use Avalon Oranics vitamin C in the morning because I need the SPF. I also use OCM whenever my face gets too dry.
Shampoo and conditioner? Err, I'm using Renpure Organics. I bought the formulas for dry hair, and I feel like it leaves it way too greasy. I have also grown skeptical about the companies "100% certified organic ingredients" claim. I emailed them a few months ago, but I didn't get an answer to the question, "Who is your certifier (USDA, Oregon Tilth)? I hate feeling tricked by greenwashing.
