There's one big key difference between these two products. The preservatives in @soapandglory's Flake Away Body Polish include BHT. It's not clear how long this chemical hangs around in the environment, but it is clear that it is very toxic to aquatic life - and may change into other very toxic chemicals in sunlight. There is also information to suggest that BHT, and the chemicals it changes into, may be bioaccumulative. @renskincare's Moroccan Rose Otto Sugar Body Polish looks to be preserved as a result of the high sugar content and oils in the product. These main components of these ingredients should break down quickly in the environment, with no evidence of bioaccumulation. #bodyscrub #sugarscrub #renskincare #cleanbeauty #ecobeauty #greenbeauty #sustainablebeauty #consciousbeauty #greenbeautyproducts #zerowastebathroom #sustainableliving #lowimpactliving #consciousconsumerism #environmentalawareness #environmentaleducation #sustainability #environment #soapandglory #skincare #greenskincare #ecoskincare #pollution #beautyingredients #preservatives #ecofriendly #protecttheplanet #noplanetb #chemicals #ecoconscious #ecofriendlyhome
I spend a lot of time talking about packaging, transport emissions, pollution and all other aspects of environmental impact on here - but it's important to remember these concerns aren't limited to beauty products. Because of this, I'm going to be doing a few posts on how the things I talk about it relation to beauty products have relevance to other areas of our lives too. Let me know what you think! Single-use plastic is an issue in packaging beauty products, but also in packaging our food and drinks. A keep cup is a great way to avoid some of this packaging. I recommend a plastic keep cup, because they're light and tough - it can be chucked in your handbag or backpack with everything else and forgotten about. Of course, you should use it for your hot beverages, but it can get just as much use for other purposes. I've used it as a water cup when I've gone out shopping and forgotten my water bottle but come across a bubbler; as a container when we were served a mountain of amazing baklava and couldn't eat it all; and as a wine glass when I've arrived at a picnic only to find plastic cups. #keepcup #resuablecup #travelmug #refusesingleuse #resuable #choosetorefuse #reducewaste #plastic #goingzerowaste #reduceplasticwaste #environmentallyfriendly #ecoliving #reducereuserecycle #reduce #reuse #sustainable #savetheplanet #wastefreeliving #wastefreeplanet #lowimpactmovement #greenliving #ecoconscious #ecofriendlylifestyle #plasticfreeoceans #saynotosingleuse #consciousconsumer #everydayearthday #sustainability #environmentalawareness #environmentaleducation
Like most toothpastes, @drbronner's All-One Anise toothpaste comes in a tube that is difficult to recycle. However, the ingredients are less toxic and more likely to break down quickly in the environment when compared to other toothpastes. Dr Bronner's also have good knowledge of their ingredient supply chain, established a sister company to manage sourcing ingredients (including palm oil), which is a positive step in the right direction. #toothpaste #drbronners #drbronnerstoothpaste #cleanbeauty #ecobeauty #greenbeauty #consciousbeauty #sustainablebeauty #sustainableliving #protecttheplanet #noplanetb #environmentalawareness #environmentaleducation #consciousconsumerism #lowimpactliving #greenbeautyproducts #cleanbeautyrevolution #consciousliving #greenbeautycommunity #waterpollution #recycle #plastic #plasticwaste #palmoil #naturaltoothpaste #terracycle #econconsious #oralcare #oralhygiene #teethcare
I posted about the eco-toxicity of chemical sunscreens in December. If you missed it, the upshot is that they're all pretty nasty, so you shouldn't rely on 'reef-safe' claims to find an eco-friendly sunscreen. Instead, you should look for minimal and recyclable packaging, buy in bulk where you can, consider the other ingredients in the formulation and look for ways to reduce your sunscreen use (for example, covering up with clothing instead). I didn't suggest you go hunting for a mineral-based sunscreen, because the active ingredients in these products can be - you guessed it - toxic to aquatic life too. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the two active ingredients you'll find in these sunscreens. Titanium dioxide isn't a great sunscreen on its own, so it's generally only found in combination with zinc oxide. These minerals can be in nano or non-nano form. Usually, nano forms are clear on your skin and non-nano forms leave a white sheen. In non-nano form, titanium dioxide is not toxic to aquatic life and zinc oxide is toxic to aquatic life. However, most sunscreens these days use nano forms. The toxicity of nano forms isn't as well documented, but scientists have found that nano forms of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide can be two to four times more toxic to aquatic life when under sunlight - which is obviously relevant in the environment. Under these conditions, the nano forms of both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are very toxic to aquatic life, so my take is that it looks like they're no more eco-friendly. #summer #sun #outdoors #outdoorslife #sunscreen #sunblock #suncare #bestsunscreen #sunsmart #sunprotection #skincareproducts #reefsafesunscreen #reefsafesuncare #coralreefs #protectyourskin #spf #suncare #suncream #uvprotection #skinprotection #mineralsunscreen #sustainableskincare #greenbeautylover #greenbeautyrevolution #ecoskincare #nontoxicbeauty #greenbeautycommunity #consciousbeauty #ecobeauty #cleanbeautyproducts
The environmental difference between these two products? @esmiskinminerals's Uncomplicated Cleanser only contains readily biodegradable ingredients, and most of them have low toxicity to aquatic life. The packaging is a difficult to recycle, which is a key reason why I only give one an okay rating, but it can be done through groups like @terracycle. On the other hand, the jar that @eve_lom's Cleanser comes in is easier to recycle. But many of the ingredients are toxic to aquatic life and some don't break down quickly in the environment. On top of that, it comes with a plastic wrapped cotton cloth - which I'd argue is unnecessary if you have a face cloth at home! #cleanser #cleansers #facecleanser #facecleansers #cleanskin #skincare #skincarejunkies #skincareproducts #esmiskinminerals #esmiskin #skincarecommunity #skincareobsessed #skincarelover #skincareenthusiast #skincareaddict #ecobeauty #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty #sustainablebeauty #consciousbeauty #ecotoxicity #consciousconsumerism #environmentalawareness #environmentaleducation #noplanetb #protecttheplanet #greenbeautycommunity #greenbeautyproducts #ecoskincare #evelom
