Favorite products with eco-friendly packaging?

[Anonymous]

What are your favorite products for home, body, hair, etc that avoid plastic packaging?
A friend recommended her shampoo (and body soap) bar, which I tried and liked, though it left my hair a bit dry: https://100senses.com/collections/body-care.
I would love to find a dishwasher tab that doesn’t come in a plastic tub and that actually works. Anyone found one? Also, I wonder about a laundry detergent that doesn’t come in plastic. I used to use powdered Tide but I have trouble finding it now.

Thanks.

I buy powdered Tide in the paper box from Amazon but formerly bought it from Costco.

Bar soap in paper is the ultimate in eco friendly packaging.

I don't use the plastic bags for produce. I just buy it without those.

I make my own powered laundry detergent with Borax, A&H washing powder, zote soap, and essential oil. Super fast to make, super cheap, good for the environment, and all ingredients come in recyclable packaging

I just purchased some laundry detergent sheets (TruEarth). I haven't used them yet though to tell you how well they clean clothes. I'll report back.

100% plastic-free laundry detergent: Dirty Labs (and just got an email today that they are now selling at Whole Foods).

Hair products: JVN, which uses aluminum bottles and tubes. Still uses plastic for pumps and caps, but they are working on a plastic-free solution.

Soap and cleaning products: www.supernatural.com; www.blueland.com; www.cleancult.com

I use laundry detergent strips, mine are by Lazy Coconuts brand and they work great.
I'm using Hairstory shampoo at the moment which comes in a plastic refill bag. Not perfect but better than multiple hard plastic bottles.
I use cloth menstrual products, and cloth wet bags for wet things going to camp or the pool.
Trying to buy dry goods in bulk and store in reusable containers when I can.

If you are near Vienna, the store Trace, on Church Street, let's you fill your own containers with liquid soap and detergent.

Earthhero.com has a wide selection.

I also like Viori (solid bar) conditioner, mother's shea lotion, ethique body and face soaps, unpaste tooth tabs, truearth laundry detergent strips, and blueland foaming handsoap tabs. I've also tried dropps dishwasher pods, but the they seem to always clump together - so still looking for other options for that.

On YouTube Shelbizlee has a ton of videos on eco-friendly home products and toiletries.

What is the fragrance level? It’s become a bit of a vogue for companies to have blindingly long last and powerful functional fragrances and I effing hate it.
