 Eco-friendly personal care products come in a wide variety, filling endless shelves and even entire stores. EnviroCitizen.org was please to find that personal care products for men are eco-friendly now, too. While some think that men use less personal care products than women, men actually use a wide variety of products to care for their bodies as well, including shampoo, conditioner, soap (or body wash), shaving cream, razors, deodorant and maybe even lotion and lip care.
Your largest organ is your skin and almost ninety percent of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body. It makes sense to use eco-friendly products that don't harm the environment or your body. When it comes to men's personal care, there are many products that won't harm the environment or your body.
- Burt's Bees has a line of men's care products, including a body wash and an aftershave.
- Ecosopia has designed a great line of men's soap.
- Barefoot Botanicals offers a post-shave face balm and a hydrating shave cream.
- Weleda offers several products for men, including a moisture cream, a shave toner, aftershave balm and shaving cream.
- John Masters sells high-quality, organic hair texturizers and pomades, as well as a line of shampoos and conditioners.
- Naturally Fresh makes crystal deodorant for men.
- Preserve makes a great line of razors and toothbrushes that are made from 100% recycled material and can be recycled when you're done with them.
While there are plenty of eco-friendly personal care products designed specifically for men, there are even more eco-friendly products that aren't advertised specifically for men that men can still use. Tom's of Maine offers a wide variety of personal care products that are eco-friendly, including toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash, dental floss and soap. Tom's of Maine is a great company because not only are their products eco-friendly in the sense that they don't use harmful chemicals in their products, but their packaging is made from recycled material and they use sustainable business practices. Avalon Organics is a great company to get personal care products from, as is Desert Essence and EO (which stands for essential oils).
In the end, you need to take some time to figure out which personal care products work best for you. Regardless of the brand, one thing is clear: it should be eco-friendly! There are so many eco-friendly products out there that have a smaller impact on the environment and don't pose the health risks that traditional personal care products do. Men need to be proactive when it comes to their health and on their environmental impact. EnviroCitizen.org knows that making conscious choices about personal care products can do a lot to improve your health and to reduce your impact on the planet!
