The use of natural products in household care has never been more relevant.
Why?
Because we’ve already told you, on a previous post, about the hidden household toxins you need to watch out for, that are omnipresent in most commercial brands.
They harm your health and the planet’s. And can even damage your house materials and surfaces!
Luckily, there are sustainable alternatives for you to clean your place in an ethical way.
So, if you want to be a conscious consumer, check out these natural products that your home (and yourself!) will fall in love with.
Believe us, we’ve tried them all and they are amazing!

naturally occurring glycerine) and comes in a plastic-free packaging. Plus, as it is handmade, every soap bar unique varying in design and weight!
Eco Dish Soaps

Elicious: sustainable soap dishes
This brand produces sustainable items made from bamboo and ceramics. Bamboo has become very popular and for good reason: it is convenient to use and prevents deforestation.

On the other hand, choosing ceramics is also ecologically responsible. This product is 100% composed of natural materials and is produced by hand with no harmful effects on the environment. Plus, it lasts super long.

ZO: non-toxic, vegan and waste-free cleaning products
ZO only produces products that biodegrade easily because the raw materials for their cleaning agents and soaps occur in nature. That’s why you’ll never see hazard symbols on the packaging! Rest assured: all their items are safe for humans, animals and materials. Besides, their production process occurs in the Netherlands to keep transport limited.
