In honor of Earth Day, we’re determined to start going a little more natural with our home and beauty products. Think about it: the products we use in our day-to-day routine–the countless spritzes, sprays, scrubs and shampoos–have to go somewhere, right? Since this planet is the only one we got, we’re deciding to show some love by going a little greener.
What green products win blue ribbons in our home and beauty arsenals? See if we have any of your eco-friendly favorites below.
