💚Badger: When we analyze a brand, we can scan for many things. It can be their product ingredients, their performance, their sustainability, their respect for us and for nature.
🍃 Eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging is a great way to spot a brand that is doing it right.
We know that not all plastic gets recycled and who wants plastic bottles leaking into our organic products and after use ending up in a landfill anyway?
🐠 Reason to not use plastic packaging:

• Only 9% of plastic gets recycled

• 6.4 million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean

• It can take 20 to 1000 years for a plastic bag to break up

• It kills over 1 million seabirds and 100.000 marine creatures every year

• It may leach toxins into the product it contains, contaminating an otherwise organic formula

✅ The best option is to skip it and choose eco-friendly alternatives. Many eco brands are embracing this plastic-free approach by offering glass and metal containers or refill programs in plant-based bioplastic and paper. We can more comfortably reward them by supporting their products.
🌟 Like these USDA Certified Organic Baby Oil and Baby Balm by Badger Organic are a staple for me. They have only a few ingredients and I embrace them for their healing, soothing, and protecting properties such as certified organic olive oil, jojoba, chamomile, and calendula. They are great, not just for babies!
🌸Especially now, after one year of continuous use of hand sanitizer, our skin has absorbed a lot of alcohol, turning it dry. That’s why we need to renourish and replenish deeply our protective layers and these 🌿 USDA Certified Organic products are the best in terms of safety, respect, purity, healing properties, responsibility, and eco-friendliness. And their eco-packaging is so cute!
