I have enjoyed switching to shampoo and conditioner in bar form that both score 2 in the low hazard range for EWG! I also like the added bonus the switch has helped me decrease plastic usage!

I seem to go through the shampoo quicker than the conditioner so added the shampoo bar by itself on this list too.

*Includes fragrance* - I had a really tough time trying to find a clarifying shampoo that met all my requirements. Since I plan to use this only once every few weeks or so, I was a little more lenient with my usual fragrance free/unscented requiremen...

EWG scores this a 1 in the low hazard range. I like this bar (though bummed it still came wrapped in plastic). Based on reviews, some people don’t like the smell even though it is labeled as no fragrance, but I got used to it. I like that it has simp...

*Includes fragrance* - Scoring a 2 by EWG, this is my husband’s favorite bar soap so far. He has been less strict with avoiding fragrance, but even with the fragrance, this soap still scores low hazard on EWG. The bar lasts a long time!

Don’t have the personal experience yet for this bar, but it’s on its way and excited to try it, especially since it is unscented, comes highly rated in reviews, and is EWG verified!

Though the soap is still in plastic in this box, I am glad there’s a bulk refill option so I can reduce plastic consumption.

I have tried a lot of different mineral sunscreens. This has been my favorite so far! Still feel like there’s a little oiliness on my skin but not nearly as much as a number of other brands I’ve tried, and it has a score of 1 from EWG which I have fo...
