Tribewanted: 'eco-friendly toiletries?' by Nigel Carlos

eco-friendly toiletries?

By Rocco, London, UK Posted 22 Jan 2008

Hi all,

I couldn’t see it in you FAQ but where do you get eco-friendly toiletries? I checked Body Shop and theirs seemed to have lots of un-natural ingredients. What UK retailers / brands are best?

Let me know,

Nigel AKA Utah

Hey Nigel,

A company called REN do great skin and body care, they are rather pricey but all natural.

I would recommend a natural tea tree or olive oil soap and a green shampoo, try greenpeople.co.uk for some really nice products.

You also check out whole foods stores as they often carry natural soaps etc.

Good luck!

Hi
There’s a company called Living Nature who are based in (I think) New Zealand but are stocked in Selfridges/John Lewis. They’re biodegradable. Also, Dr Bronners, but I’m not sure where you’d get Dr B from.

kate, long live dr bronner’s, eh? i’ve started a revolution with that stuff…

nigel, i don’t know the UK market as well as the US, but here’s a blog post that i did about green resources, including products like dr. bronners:

best bet is to check their websites and see where the local retailers are. i highly recommend burt’s bees, and they seems to have very wide distribution, so i bet you can find it somewhere near you. good luck!
