Keep reading for your complete bathroom roadmap for all things GOOD…
The Shower
Ahhh the place we go to relaxxx at the end of a long day. The products used here are on heavy repeat (often by the whole fam) so pay special care to what you’re slathering on each day!

The Makeup Bag
Arguably the hardest place to swap because the favorites in here have been with us for years — but, when applying directly to eyes + lips the possibility for absorption skyrockets. That's why we love our selection of clean beauty products that are highly effective, without adding to our toxic load.

The Medicine Cabinet
You’d expect the place we stock the actual can’t-live-withouts (hi, toothpaste and tampons) to be totally safe…but unfortunately the FDA has even less regulations when it comes to hygiene products like period care and deodorant. But never fear! We've got plenty of *good* options when it comes to this department.
