In my research and reviews of companies/brands I look at:
-Rating/Reviews – I
look at general reviews online and check rating on ewg.org and/or ewg.org/skindeep
(a website that examines brands/ingredients for toxicity). On the main website
the best rating is an A, on skin deep best rating is 1. Note that it can be complicated to search for things on the main site –
usually I google the brand and “ewg” and see if it comes up. Occasionally a
company/product cannot be found so then I look more closely at the actual ingredients
and reviews both online and people I know.
-Cost – Is it
worth it for what you’re getting? How does it compare to what else is out
there?
-Effectiveness
– Do the products really work? This is sometimes a matter of opinion - some
find certain products to work well that others don’t.
Companies I’ve Reviewed: Biokleen
Biokleen is rated pretty much all A-B on ewg.org (just 1
of the listed products were a C). Dish liquids, soaps, various cleaners, even
their bleach are all excellent in regards to purity.
Their laundry detergent (A rating) is the best price for
the quality I’ve found so far (at least among my personal top choices). Their
dish soap came in second for price. Reviews are good. I’ll likely be getting
their laundry detergent to try out when I run out of what I’m using now.
Companies I’ve
Reviewed: Ecover
This company has an A rating on EWG which is the best rating
you can get. I really like this company from everything I’ve seen, but they are
a little more expensive than the B or C rated ones of course. They don’t have
very many products so you’re limited there, but what I’ve used I’ve liked. Prices
are reasonable – especially for the dish soap. I’ve used their laundry detergent
and like it a lot! I’ve also been using their Lime Zest Dish Soap which works
great and suds up really good! The unscented is usually a bit cheaper though so
that’s probably what I’ll normally go with. Walmart price is comparable to
other similar brands and you can get it in bulk on Amazon for a little cheaper.
Thanks for reading! Check out my other reviews and stay
tuned for more!
