Ecostore USA Review and Giveaway!


"Green" never smelled so good!

That was my first impression when we used a bottle of Baby Sleepytime Bath from Ecostore USA! It smelled awesome!

This was surprising to me because I had already formed ideas in my head about what a "green" product would be like.

These were:

1. That "green" products would have little or no fragrance since a lot of chemicals are used in adding fragrance to products.

and

2. That "green" cleaning products wouldn't work as efficiently as regular ones since it was the "hard chemicals" that got things clean in the first place.

Boy was I wrong!

Not only did the products I received from Ecostore smell WONDERFUL, but from my experience they all worked just as well as their (chemical containing) commercial counterparts. The best part is that Ecostore products contain No Nasty Chemicals.

All their products are made using plant-based ingredients, essential oils, and other natural resources.

As it says on their website, No Nasty Chemicals is the foundation of the entire product line and philosophy of Ecostore. For more about Ecostore's beginnings, go HERE.

I had the privilege of trying out 4 products from Ecostore USA.

First was the fabulous Baby Sleepytime Bath I mentioned earlier. The smell really was wonderful, and Jackson was very relaxed after his bath, so I think this product lives up to it's name. :-) I enjoyed it because the smell lasted around the bathroom for almost 2 hours after his bath was over! Everytime I walked by I would catch a whiff and I felt soothed by the smell myself.

Next came their Baby Shampoo which smelled great and lathered up easily. Jackson's hair was noticably shiny the morning after we used this...and I liked that alot.

I also received a bottle of Laundry Liquid and a tub of Pure Oxygen Whitener to use with my laundry. Trying them out had me actually looking forward to laundry day....and let me tell you, that doesn't happen often around here! :-)

The Whitener got a really good test because I added it to a load of my husbands socks and white T-shirts, both of which had their share of stains. Not only did the whites come out looking brighter, now all but one of the stains was gone (it was BBQ sauce, so I'm not surprised)! I was very impressed with the results I got from this product, and I didn't even use that much!

The Laundry Liquid came last and it left me with a good impression as well. My clothes came out of the washer clean and fresh, and I actually feel like the Eco Store liquid cleaned my clothes better than some of the Bigger Brands I have purchased in the past.

Overall I was very pleased with all 4 of the Ecostore products I tried. The big thing with all of them was that I didn't have to use very much of the products to achieve my goal, and that was really nice.

Ecostore says: We know that it can be expensive to buy natural or organic products, but we've found a way around this by safely super-concentrating each formulation. This means that a little really does go a long, long way. The result is saving money by significantly cutting down on cost per use.

In these hard economic times, that made me feel really good!
