There’s a multitude of natural and eco-friendly men’s grooming products available at natural health stores to choose from! Here’s a sample shopping list:
- natural toothpaste (consider powder or tablets to help reduce plastic packaging)
- skin care, such as cleanser, toner, and moisturizer
- deodorant (check out those with eco-friendly packaging)
- shampoo/conditioner (solid bars are very popular these days)
- hair styling products, such as wax or pomade
- beard oils
- shaving products, such as shaving oils or solid soaps and brushes
- plastic-free safety razors with recyclable blades (or consider a straight razor)
- soap (bar or refill soap is the most sustainable)
