We all love being clean and smelling nice, and I know I’m tempted by the great variety of cleverly marketed products on offer, but just because they look good, doesn’t mean they are. The other unfortunate thing I’ve recently learnt is, just because it says ‘natural’ doesn’t mean it’s good for me, so please don't be fooled by greenwashing!
At EarthFirst we aim to promote products that are good for us and don’t harm animals or the environment during their production, or when they are washed down the drain. We try and point you towards the better products we have found that incorporate less harmful ingredients, and we are always trying to find products with NO harmful chemicals, whether they are synthetic or ‘naturally’ derived.
If you know of any great products you’d like us to feature, or you know a product we’re featuring is not all it’s advertised to be, please let us know. In the mean time we hope we can give you some information, which helps you choose safer and more environmentally friendly products.
