ecostore USA Review & Giveaway

In this day and age we try to protect our children and ourselves from as much pollutants and chemicals as possible. From what we put in and on our bodies we try to make sure it is as safe as possible. So many products claim to be "green", "eco friendly", free of this and that but how do we know for sure? Where can we find honest to goodness products all in one place?

Welcome to the ecostoreUSA.com where their motto is "no nasty chemicals". Melanie and Malcolm Rands started ecostore NZ 15 yrs ago from their own eco village in New Zealand. Out of necessity for protecting the pristine rural waterways of the eco village from the supermarket cleaning products which relied heavily on cheap, petroleum-based, synthetic ingredients, ecostore NZ was born.

"The original customer base of ecostore NZ was comprised of mostly ‘Greenies’ and organic gardeners. However, it was not long before testimonials from other parents (many of whom were unaware of the benefits of eco-friendly products) began to pour in with wonderful news of their children's allergies and eczema clearing up. Many noted that any respiratory issues were healing, and many lingering chronic conditions were disappearing."

I am very excited to be able to write a review for ecostore USA. While I try to  buy "green" products for my house and family I was reminded of another member of our family. The one with the big sweet eyes and sloppy kisses.  That's right, it's Sookie. How can I not get the best for her as well?  How can I try and keep chemicals away from my girls just to bath my pooch in something potentially harmful and then let my girls snuggle up with her.

Herbal Fresh All Natural Pet Shampoo is just one of four wonderful Pet Care products ecostore USA sells. This shampoo is sulfate- free, soap free, tearless and smells amazing. The shampoo lathered in her coat well and when rinsed off, you had that squeaky clean  feeling and not that left over soap residue slippery feeling which I do not like. After Sook was dry her coat shinned and I was not worried about the girls kissing all over her.

"The team at ecostore USA loves making a difference in people’s lives. ecostore USA does not compromise on performance, so customers can be assured of the efficacy of the products - they truly work. We offer more than 100 products, each one meeting the most stringent environmental and sustainability standards. The guiding principle of every formulation is and will always be that the end product must not only be good for the user, but good for the planet."

 

I also had the opportunity to review ecostore USA's  Manuka Honey & Kelp Soap. So glad I did, I am in love with this soap.The smell, the bits of (now I am not positive) but it's either the bran or the kelp act as a natural exfoliate on my skin. All I know is that my skin feels soft, refreshed and clean when I step out of the shower. Plus I have used this same bar everyday for the past week..and it still looks like a new bar of soap. I have found regular bars of soap seem to shrink or shrivel when hit with water, not a problem for this bar of soap.

  

Now they not only carry products for Pets and Bath & Body but also for Baby Care, Hair, and your Household. Everything you need for your entire family and home all under on website. Worried about the price? I know I do. I find it hard to always buy what I want because the price for products like these are always more expensive, sometimes more than I can afford.

"ecostore USA knows 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."

If you are concerned with what you put on your family  and what you use to clean you home stop by and checkout their store. I think you will find the products are wonderful and affordable.
