Clean Green with EcoStoreUSA



EcoStore was founded in New Zealand with the premise of creating products containing "no nasty chemicals".
Their products are so wonderful and became so popular they branched out and have a US location in Michigan.
They've even partnered with Michigan based Meijer stores to create a special selection of ecostore USA household and baby care products that are available exclusively at Meijer stores throughout the Midwest. These exclusive ecostore products are available at all 185 Meijer locations.
Two of my favorite ecostore USA products are the All Purpose Cleaner and the Laundry Liquid.
The All Purpose Cleaner is safe to use, non-toxic and cleans fabulously- what more could you ask for? How about a pleasant slightly citrus aroma? I love it, no toxic fumes, no nasty chemicals- just natural yet powerful cleaning performance. This stuff will clean just about anything- counters, sinks, walls, toilets, tubs, stoves, appliances, even stains on furniture and carpets. I've used it for everything.
The Laundry Liquid is divine. I love the spicy clean aroma of the 100% Certified Organic Eucalyptus oil. It is so much better than the non-smell some "natural" laundry liquids have. I hate the smell of "unscented"- I know sounds odd but the non-smell has a distinct unpleasant smell all its own. I prefer herbal scents over non-scents or fancy perfumes any day. The other thing that's wonderful about the ecostore Laundry Liquid is that it cleans great and a little goes a long way.

A Review of the Coconut and Vanilla Hand Wash from EcoStore USA


Description from EcoStoreUSA.com

Natural and indulgent - the new ecostore USA hand wash is a true green bathroom luxury. Extremely kind to skin, you will love the fresh summery fragrance of coconut & vanilla organic essential oils.

Made from seven naturally derived ingredients to cleanse, condition and nourish your hands this hand wash does not remove the skin's natural oils. Your hands are left soft and silky by the unique moisturizer derived from wheatgerm oil and wheat protein. Our No Nasty* Chemicals™ promise means no Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, no artificial dyes, perfumes or preservatives.

Sodium Lauroamphoacetate
Wheat Germamidopropyldimonium
Hydroxypropyl Hydrolysed Wheat Protein
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
Sodium Hydroxymethyl Glycinate
Certified Organic Fragrance


My Review:

The hand soap is rich, creamy, luxurious and simple to use.

I am a fan of EcoStore products- they are all natural, eco-friendly and work fabulously.

I also love that EcoStore USA's headquarters are close to me right here in Michigan. They even sell some products at the Michigan grocery chain, Meijer.

The only thing I didn't like about this product was that the scent was not strong enough. It smelled "white" but not necessarily like coconut or vanilla. I expected the coconut aroma to be stronger. I have used the Desert Essence coconut hand wash and that was very coconutty- that's what I expected from this.

I would love this hand wash even more if the coconut vanilla scent was stronger- yet still natural.

But as is it's a good hand wash to use because I know it's not filled with hardsh or toxic ingredients.
