10 Eco Friendly Products That Smell Amazing
When picking products for our morning routine, it’s easy to pick ones that smell the best, or have the nicest packaging, or come from a brand that we are familiar with and that we feel we can trust. However, one of the most important things is that we should be picking products that are eco friendly and have a positive impact on the world around us. Here are 10 eco friendly products that are great for the environment, whilst also smelling absolutely amazing and being a positive addition to your daily routine!
1. The Soap Co Exfoliating Soap PebbleÂ
Minimising the use of plastic in your bathroom products is one of the best ways to help become more eco friendly. This product is handmade from fully natural and biodegradable materials. It is inspired by pebbles found in the Lake District’s River Greta, and uses wool from local sheep to make an exfoliating product and makes sure that the soap lasts for a long time.
2. Soaper Duper Shea Butter & Vanilla Body Wash

The amazing thing about this company is that they support WaterAid to bring soap and water to communities that are in desperate need – meaning that you know the money that you spend on the product is doing good things in the world.
