Most shampoo and conditioner comes in a form of bottles that are made of plastic. A 150ml bottle lasts up to 30-50 washes, but only 9% of this gets recycled. This means that 91 out of 100 bottles end up in our oceans or landfills. It doesn't mean that we have to continue this cycle. By shifting to environmentally-conscious products like shampoo and conditioner bars, we can get to a point where bottles are no longer needed for general consumption.

Parabens has been widely used as an artificial preservative for beauty products. However over the past decade, the long-term exposure to parabens have become a cause for concern due to the side-effects such as redness, irritation, and itchy skin. With Paraben-free products, skin irritation is lessened and hair becomes healthier.

Every year, our oceans get over 12.7 MILLION Tons of plastic. This has greatly harmed the marine life, with some getting trapped or even accidentally ingesting the plastics. Be part of the solution and help reduce plastic wastes by shifting to eco-friendly alternatives.

The Philippines has been listed among one of the biggest contributors to plastic waste annually. To be part of this means that our country has a long way to go in terms of proper waste disposal, but we can do something about it by adapting proper waste segregation and lessening plastic waste produced by our households.

Rather than turning your entire household eco-friendly overnight, you can make at least one change and build better habits to help in reducing plastic wastes. Here are some plastic-free alternatives for things that you use every day:

1. Bathroom - Bamboo toothbrush, washable cotton pads, Bamboo comb/brush, Eco-na shampoo bar, conditioner bar, face and body soap, femme bar
2. Dining - Bamboo utensils, reusable cup, Bamboo straw, reusable food container
3. Reusable bag - canvas bag, paper bag, mesh bag

Plastic packaging accounts for most of the world's plastic waste. From plastic bags to bubble wraps, we use plastic for almost everything. Help reduce this by converting to eco-friendly alternatives such as canvas bags and honeycomb wraps.
