Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22. By becoming more cautious of what we are using each day, helps our environment in more ways than we think – even if it’s as simple as choosing our skincare products. In this post I am sharing two companies that not only have created luscious skincare products, but are also eco conscious when it comes to their packaging. The glass bottles/jars can easily be up-cycled for personal uses around your home and knowing that there is zero plastic involved, makes them even more appealing!

8 Days Botanicals
Body Butter

This is hands down one of my favorite body butters. The airy whipped texture blends like a dream and the calming mood boosting scent of lavender helps ease my restless mind from a long day. The Serenity Body butter truly lives up to its name with a blend of lavender and chamomile…this has become apart of my nightly ritual. Did you know that whipped body butter is richer & moisturizers more deeply into the skin than lotion? 8 Days has created body butters that melt into our skin without the harsh tugging of typical lotions. The whipped texture helps spread quickly and evenly.

8 Days incorporates fresh botanicals directly from their very own organic farm into each product. When not sourcing ingredients directly from their farm, they will source only the highest quality, certified organic ingredients from other small batch or local producers. This means a product that you can trust to share with your family and feel good about putting on your skin.

They are thoughtful of our Mother Earth in their choices by using organic paper cartons, and using an electric delivery car. The reusable glass packaging is a major eco-friendly win for me. I love repurposing glass bottles around my home. The dark amber bottles are aesthetically pleasing and these bottles are also useful for plant propagation since the darker glass helps the water stay algae-free longer with the protection from harsh light. For my bathroom – I will fill a bottle with q-tips or cotton balls to help minimize the look of container clutter in my drawers.
