Shower Green!

by Candi Bezte, Norwex Science & Technical Advisor

Many of us know it is better for our health and the environment when we stop using chemicals to clean our homes...but we often don’t consider the products we use in the shower. Norwex Shampoo, Conditioner and Bath & Shower Gel all contain wonderful natural ingredients that nourish our skin, scalp, and hair and are NOT contaminated with pesticides, nor made of petroleum in labs.

While there are many other natural products, most contain synthetic solvents, artificial colours, fragrances and preservatives, all of which are not particularly good for our skin OR the environment. It is not just the final use of these ingredients at issue, but also their manufacturing process, which is often not that environmentally friendly.
The fact that most of the natural ingredients in Norwex products are grown organically is also a wonderful environmental benefit – protecting not only ourselves, but the people who produce the crops, the wildlife where the crops are grown, and the integrity of the soil. An added benefit is the effect these products have on our skin; by not containing irritating ingredients, our skin retains moisture better, thus reducing the need for moisturizers. The most important benefit is to children, who only require a tiny amount. When using Norwex products, it is reassuring for parents to know their children are not being exposed to dozens of synthetic chemicals every time they bathe!
