ecostore USA - Review & Giveaway

I would consider myself somewhere in the middle when it comes to being eco-friendly. There's a lot more I could be doing, but I've been taking steps to becoming more aware of the things I do and products I purchase so I can do my part in helping preserve the environment.

Ecostore USA is a company that is taking huge strides in developing products that are free of nasty chemicals, gentle on the skin, and eco-friendly. All of their products are made from plant- and mineral-based ingredients, free of toxic chemicals.

There are a lot of studies that have been done that show that the chemicals in some products are doing more harm than good. Ecostore USA eliminates those chemicals that are not good for you. Their line of products includes baby care, pet care, household, hair, and bath & body.

I was given the opportunity to try a couple products from Ecostore USA. I received the Vanilla Shampoo and the Dishwash Liquid. I like to get the most bang for my buck and found that the products I received were not watered down, as some products on the market are. Ecostore USA knows that it can be expensive to buy natural or organic products, so they safely super-concentrate their formulas so you get the most use of their products.



I've been using their Dishwash Liquid in lieu of my regular brands. This dishwash liquid has plant based ingredients. It indicates on the bottle that one squirt is enough for one sink full of dishes. I've been using two squirts because I like lots of foam. Even with two squirts, this bottle is large enough and is concentrated enough that it will last me a long time. In comparison to my regular brands of dishwashing liquid, I noticed that Ecostore USA's dishwash liquid works just as well, if not better. The grease and gunk on my dishes comes off easily and it does the job of getting my dishes clean.

Ecostore USA's Vanilla Shampoo is nourishing for the scalp and is formulated for chemically treated hair. From experience, I know that some shampoos leave a residue on the hair and can make it no cleaner or better than it was when you wash it. I've been using this vanilla shampoo and have noticed no residue and my hair feels cleaner after stepping out of the shower. Its super-concentrated formula ensures that I get many uses out of this shampoo. There is a light scent of vanilla, but it's not overpowering. My husband is also a fan of this shampoo because it's not all "girly" and it lathers up well.

I found these products to be nice for the size, formulation, and reasonable price alone. It also helps that they are environmentally friendly and as effective as the leading supermarket brands.
