Eco Gift bag

Table of Contents

I set out to find the best everyday natural products for our eco-gift bag.  With hundreds of hours of research, and a passion for all things healthy and natural, I came across the selection we have today for  our "eco gift bag". 

During the testing and research, I was shocked to learn that many of the products that claimed to be natural still had harmful ingredients in them.   Furthermore the natural products market is flooded with products that claim to have the best ingredients and provide amazing results.  The problem is that most products do not live up to their claims.  Then many of the ones that did have a great ingredient list and were out of the harmful range, just didn't perform. 

So I started a long journey as we spent hundreds of hours researching and testing many of these natural products.  I finally narrowed down a list of products that met our criteria of great natural ingredients, but most importantly also performed the best and provided the most benefit.

Although this is not a scientific test, it was one conducted by smart consumers (me and a handful of selected tester friends).  I love these products and they are part of my daily life.  I hope you will enjoy these products as much as we do. 

1.      Natural eco bag

Our products come inside this bag.  This is a great recyclable bag to take with you every where you go.  It is all natural, undyed cotton with a convenient and easy to use long tote handle.  Take it to the beach, to the next trip to the mall, and to the grocery store.  It is expandable and can hold up to 40 lbs.   It fits into your purse to take with you everywhere you go. 

2.      Organic Aromatherapy Eucalyptus Soy Candle in 4 oz tin. 

The best soy aromatherapy candle is from the makers of Way out Wax.   This candle is made without chemicals, dyes, and anything artificial. 

The eucalyptus essential oil scent provides a great smell for the whole room.  The smell of essential oils has a positive effect on your mind, body and spirit. 

Soy wax offers a clean-burning alternative to paraffin. It is an entirely vegetable based wax that is environmentally sound.  Most conventional candles are made from paraffin wax, which is a by-product of petroleum, a non-renewable resource, which has been linked to poor indoor air quality.  Soy candles burn cleaner than petroleum-based candles plus they are renewable.

The tin container is recyclable and reusable. 

3.      Dr. Bronner liquid Castille Soap - 8 oz bottle

You may have already experienced the great castille liquid soap by Dr. Bronner.  The soap is a great cleanser for your everyday shower use.  We recommend a sponge, lor shower glove to use with it.  This soap lathers up very nicely without having any sodium laureth sulfate (SLS) or any of the SLS derivative in them. 

A combination of organic extra virgin coconut, olive, jojoba and hemp oils, together with pure essential oils, creates a unique soap that cleans effectively without being aggressive and produces a velvety-lather that leaves the skin silky-smooth and refreshed.

Here are just a few of the reasons why Dr. Bronner soap is so great

• Completely Biodegradable and Vegetable-Based
• Made with Certified Fair Trade and Organic Oils
• Multi-Purpose: 18-in-1 Uses
• No Synthetic Foaming Agents, Thickeners or Preservatives     
• 100% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Cylinder Bottles and Paper Labels
• Simple, Ecological Formulations Based on Old-World Quality and Expertise
• Free of foaming agents/detergents like sodium Lauryl sulfate

4.      Hugo Naturals Lotion in large 12 oz dispense bottle - Grapefruit

This is the  big for the best natural lotion.  The company has several great scents, but the one we liked the best is grapefruit.  We give you their largest 12 oz lotion.  Use it generously all over the body or keep it by your side for regular hand use.  It is non-greasy and the skin instantly absorbs it to provide instant nourishment.  Here are a few other reasons why we picked this lotion for our gift bag:

Hugo Naturals does not use parabens, alcohols, petroleum products, artificial colors or artificial fragrances in any of their products

The lotion is exquisitely scented with essential oils and plant essences, is deeply moisturizing, and extremely effective.  Plus, there's the extra glow you get from knowing they are cruelty-free and created with the earth's good in mind.

5.      Hugo Naturals Liquid hand soap in 12 oz dispense bottle - Spearmint

Handcrafted from cruelty-free ingredients, this luxurious soap produces a rich, creamy lather that pampers the skin while it cleans. Enriched with a nourishing blend of jojoba, shea butter, vegetable glycerin, botanical extracts and essential oils.
