Ecostores USA is a store that sells green products that are healthy for you, your family, your pets, and the earth! I like the heading they have on the picture above that says "No Nasty Chemicals". Isn't that great to know that their is a store out there that cares about their customers and the well being of them with their products? I think that is wonderful!
About Ecostore!
Ecostore NZ was founded more than 15 years ago by Melanie and Malcolm Rands from their home in an eco village in New Zealand.
By simply changing to the genuinely clean and green ecostore products, people were experiencing surprising and unexpected improvements in their health. As the notion of using products with “No Nasty Chemicals™” gained popular appeal, ecostore quickly outgrew its location in the Rand’s basement and the business moved to a storefront in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Ecostore loves making a difference in people’s lives! They offer over 100 different products to choose from. They not only want it to be good for the user, but good for the planet as well! Since buying natural or organic products can be pricey, Ecostore has found a way to go around that by safely super-concentrating each formulation. Which means that a little will go a long, long way!!
I was able to pick 2 items from the many products they have to choose from! I chose to review the Laundry Powder and Baby Massage Oil.
I must say I was super impressed when I opened the package. Inside was a note that said " All Packaging products used for this shipment are environmentally friendy, the packing peanuts are made out of soy, the news print, packing tap and even the boxes are all made out of recycleable paper, as well as the paper this note is printed on". I think it's great that they are a company that cares so deeply about the earth!
I tried out the Laundry Powder first. I was impressed with the packaging. Inside the box was a plastic bag filled with powder and it was tied with a twist tie. It came with a little scoop. The scoop is little than an ordinary scoop because you don't need as much powder with the Ecostore products as a leading brand!
The powder had a light scent that was not much at all! I think it is great because it would work out for people who have allergic reaction to chemicals that are so strong! That was my first thought! The powder worked so well on my dirty bathroom rugs. I was surprised at how well this powder helped clean my rugs! It also had a light scented smell afterwards! After washing my dirty rugs, I thought I'd try it on my white clothes. I was very amazed at how well the powder worked on my clothes! My honest opinion would be that it worked better than the brand I usually use!
I had my husband use this baby massage oil on me because he usually uses regular baby oil to massage my pains! We were both equally happy with the scent! It is not as strong as baby oil scents usually are! I would have to say I like Ecostore USA scent better than the usual scent of baby oil! The baby massage oil did not seem as oily as other baby massage oil either! I would have to say though that my husband did have to use more than the usual kind because it'd dry out faster! The thing I like the most about this baby massage oil is that I'm putting a safe product on my skin! I would definitely keep buying this because of that reason and because of the scent!
The best thing is right now the Baby Massage Oil is on sale for $5.00. It is regularly $10.00 so make sure you order some while it is on sale! They have other items on sale also as you skim through the products!
Thanks to Ecostore, one of my lucky readers will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to their store!
