Sustainable swaps for bath and shower time

Explore eco-friendly essentials for body, hair, and more →

When it comes to showers and baths, it’s time to break out of auto-pilot mode. Take a second and think of the products currency living on your shower shelf — the near-empty plastic shampoo bottles, the sad loofah, the razor that needs replacing. We think it’s high time to upgrade your bath and shower routine with better-for-you products that prioritize the planet too. Explore these easy swaps to help transform your shower into a luxe, sustainable sanctuary. You so deserve it.

Wash day wins

Make a clean break from conventional hair care

Many popular shampoos and conditioners rely on synthetic ingredients like sulfates and silicones to create lather and shine. But those same ingredients can strip moisture, create scalp build-up, and weigh hair down over time. [1] We’re proud to carry a large selection of plant-powered hair care with sulfate-free formulas, nourishing ingredients, and low- or no-plastic packaging. So no matter your hair type, you can enjoy softer, cleaner, and greener styles on the daily. Another sustainable hair rec? Try solid-format shampoos and conditioner bars, designed to cut down on plastic waste and last just as long as their bottled counterparts. Bonus: they’re extremely travel-friendly!

Stop washing with plastic

Upgrade your in-shower accessories and tools

If you’re a user of mesh loofahs, it’s time to rethink safer replacements. Many are made from virgin plastic and can collect bacteria over time if not cleaned or replaced regularly. [2] Try a silicone body scrubber, biodegradable sponge, bamboo-handled brush, or reusable cotton wash cloth — all made with materials that are gentler on your skin and reduce microplastics shedding down the drain and into our waterways.

Smooth things over

Create a more sustainable shave routine

Many popular shaving creams and gels contain synthetic foaming agents, fragrances, and aerosols that can irritate sensitive skin and contribute to household emissions. [3] We recommend making the switch to a creamy, non-aerosol shaving butter or a soothing shave bar. You get the same smooth shave without the residue or harsh ingredients. Plus, many clean-ingredient shave products come with recyclable or low-waste packaging for a bigger impact.
