I've put together a list of 7 of my favorite products that deserve many a hefty Eco-friendly mention!

1. BAMBU FACE

89, 290 is the number of disposable cotton pads the average female will use in a lifetime. 100 years, the time it will take for single-use wipes to disintegrate in landfills. This inspired BAMBU FACE to create a more sustainable solution. A husband and wife team that share a love for sustainable business and great beauty products.

Bambu Face pads are made from Bamboo Rayon fabric. Our buttery soft eye makeup remover pads are made from bamboo velour fabric and are soft and durable facial pads are made from bamboo terry cotton. AND THEY LAST 200 WASHES!! You can even use these babies with nail polish remover or your favorite toner.

To clean your bamboo pads simply hand wash with warm water and a bar of soap directly after each use. Once a week you can pop into your mesh laundry bag and put it into the washing machine. Then use your included mesh bag to hang your Bambu Face pads up to dry. It's as easy as that!

2. JONNY CONDOMS

Jonny vegan-friendly condoms are my new favorite go-to. They are stylish, discrete and well, damn pretty to look at. The packaging is slim and easy to throw in your purse or bag. Each box of condoms comes with a sustainable 'FabLittleBag' to throw that used condom in and dispose of kindly.

One of my favorite things about this brand is the choice. Jonny condoms come in three different stash sizes - the overnighter, the weekender and the lover's dozen. You can buy online and selected stores or you can even sign up for their subscription service.

Jonny support causes that aim to improve the lives of girls and women across the globe. Through i=Change, Jonny donates $1 from every pack of condoms sold online to support some incredibly important causes.

Viva la Jonny!

Fair + Square soaps are handcrafted soaps from New Zealand using all-natural ingredients, vegetable oils and essential oils. They contain no plastic packaging, no palm oil and no synthetic fragrances or colors. Their soaps are made using a technique known as cold processing

Each soap is handmade in small batches, and hand-cut, hand beveled and hand-packaged and are packed full of the same skin-loving ingredients!
