Why buy sustainable non-toxic products for yourself?

You can do both the planet and your body a world of good by switching to sustainable personal care products. Most personal care products involve the health and maintenance of our bodies, so purchasing products that don’t contain toxins is especially important.

One example of such a product is a cotton towel. Most people are unaware of the fact that more chemical pesticides and herbicides are put on cotton than on any other crop. Cotton accounts for nearly 25% of global pesticide use. This is just the beginning of cotton’s chemical journey. After harvest cotton is treated with bleach and toxic dyes, then set with heavy metals such as chromium and copper. Formaldehyde is often used to make fabric stiff and wrinkle-resistant and lasts for the life of the fabric. So in the course of use, one’s skin frequently comes in contact with these chemicals. Not only does this pose a threat to consumer and community health but also to the health of workers in the industry as well as the health of the land.

Fortunately, organic cotton which is grown and produced without the use of harmful chemicals has become more widely available.

Cotton isn’t the only problem; often paper used in disposable facial tissues and toilet tissue is sourced from ancient forests in both North and South America that are clear-cut. Recycled paper products are the best option if one cares for the natural environment.

As with all products, it is important to buy personal care items that are non-toxic, manufactured in a sustainable manner, and can be recycled, reused or biodegrade.

The One Stop Sustainability Shop carries beautiful Native Organic cotton towels that are made in the US from cotton grown in Texas. We also carry reusable organic cotton handkerchiefs and makeup squares, hemp washcloths, recycled plastic toothbrushes, organic shaving gel, natural baby powder and many more healthy, sustainable personal care items.
