Green is going mainstream

What was once seen as unnecessary was buying organic products with higher price markings than the same product made from different materials. As time went on, consumers were told by scientists about the importance of using all products with natural materials.

Typical household and personal use products have been targeted to go organic. Shampoo, soap, lotion, face wash, baby powder, laundry detergents are some examples of products that were once used daily without concerns until consumers were told of the toxic chemicals used to make these products.

Not only is it detrimental to the environment as these products get disposed down the drain, into the ocean, as toxic waste sits in our ocean floor, but hazardous to the health of those who uses these products on their skins.

Today, companies are eager to share their products with consumers as they proudly advertise themselves as going green. Traces of toxic contents in products are slowly diminishing as coconut oil, lavander and green tea are main ingredients in skin care products.
