Wellness, home, and groceries products we buy on repeat
We actually switched to this from Everspring but Everspring is a close 2nd (esp if concerned about possibility of microplastics in Everspring).
Reel Paper Premium Bamboo Toilet Paper - 12 Mega Rolls
Bubble bath that doesn't haven't nasty toxins and is one of the cheapest on the shelf? Sure!
Bubble Bath: Up & Up brand
I prefer powder over the pods or gel. This comes in a massive box, is inexpensive, and has clean ingredients except for lemon scent (which isn't offensive but would prefer fragrent-free).
Dishwasher: Detergent Powder - 75oz - Dealworthy™
Fragrant free, reasonably priced, this is our favorite detergent that can be found locally.
Everspring : Laundry Detergent
Mostly for when soap & water aren't nearby. Nice smell, gentle on the skin, no sticky gel residue…we bought the 6 pk and then put one in both of the cars, both diaper bags, mud room, changing table, etc.
Everyone Hand Sanitizer Sprays - Coconut Lemon - 2oz/6pk
Nice for on the go or when you can't do a deep clean.
Lemon & Mint Multi-Surface Cleaning Wipes - 105ct/3pk -Everspring™
Hot cocoa is a favorite in our house as soon as winter appears. These G&G packets have 2 ingredients: sugar & cocoa! No corn syrup, seed oils, phosphates or other additives. The only hot cocoa packets we buy now…
Hot Cocoa: Good & Gather
Cheap, healthy ingredients, throw them in the freezer and you have healthy popsicles. Only bad thing with these that no matter how many boxes I buy (2 or 3), they are still gone in a day.
Strawberry Banana Yogurt Tubes - Good & Gather™
Our favorite nasal spray. We stock the medicine cabinet at the start of cold season and anyone who wants gets one.
Zarbee's Soothing Saline Nasal Mist with Aloe - 3 oz
A lot of liquid soaps and bars have harsh chemicals that actually dry out your skin so we buy castile soap and use that instead.
Body Wash: Dr Bonner castile soap unscented
Really impressed with the Good & Gather brand. We keep these on hand when the days for a quick breakfast and we let the kids add their own toppings of choice.
Instant Oatmeal packs: Organic Plain 8 Packet - Good & Gather™
Inexpensive and from my research, the Up & Up brand is doing a good job to make their products toxic-free or as low as possible.
Shampoo choice: Up & Up Kids' 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner
Nice large bottle, reasonably priced, and nothing in the ingredients that causes concern.
Body wash choice: Up & Up fragrance free
Healthy and my kids devoured these and then fought over the extra. Wish they sold in higher quantities multipacks.
Freeze Dried Strawberry Slices Multipack - 6ct/2.1oz - Good & Gather™
Our go-to toothpaste for the kids now. Reasonably priced, all of our kids like it (unlike mint, “spicy” flavors) and flouride free.
hello Kids Fluoride-Free Toothpaste - Watermelon - 4.2oz: Vegan, Gluten-Free, Aluminum-Free, Hydrated Silica Paste
Walmart

Favorite brand of diapers.

Bought the razor once and now have just been buying refills for months. If you have the Gillette razor, the Equate refills are also compatible with that.
Equate Men's 5 Blade Razor with Razor and refills
When the need arises, these are the juice boxes we get. Reasonably priced, no added sugars, and no artificial dyes. My kids love them.
bettergoods Organic Strawberry Kiwi Juice Drink, 6.75 fl oz , 8 Count
Clean ingredients, reasonably priced, and so much better than sports drinks. We keep these stocked in the fridge all summer.
C2O Pure Coconut Water, Ready to Drink, 33.8 fl oz Prisma Pack
I occassion use in smoothies but one of our kids shockingly started drinking kefir straight from the bottle. Good for probiotics. The plain version has no added sugar.
