EcoStore (Review & Giveaway - 6/24)
I recently had the opportunity to review a couple of products from EcoStoreUSA.com. Before I get to my review (and the giveaway!), I want to share a bit more about EcoStoreUSA.com with you."Our eco friendly, plant-based household cleaning products are as effective as the leading supermarket brands, and our body and baby care ranges are gentle on your skin and are simply beautiful to use. Our pet care products let you spoil your pets with our nourishing, rich blends of ingredients and show them how much you care by reducing their exposure to unhealthy chemicals.
All of our products are made from plant- and mineral-based ingredients, free of toxic chemicals that bring people closer to nature with non-toxic, environmentally safe solutions that also help to reduce our carbon footprint.
Our products also help to ensure value for the dollar for our customers. We know it can be expensive to buy natural or organic products but we’ve found a way to safely super-concentrate our formulations. Our super-concentrates means that a little really does go a long way - saving you money by cutting down significantly on cost per use.No Nasty Chemicals™ is the foundation of the entire product line and philosophy of ecostore. Take a moment to check out our videos and learn more about ecostore USA.

Monkey Mama's Review of EcoStore
I was sent a bottle of the Baby SleepyTime Bath and the Baby Moisturizer to review. The
products arrived in a box made of recycled paper, and even the paper filling and the paper the packing list was printed on were made from recycled paper. They really go all out in protecting our environment. The night the products arrived, I decided to put them to the test on Parker.I added a capful of the Baby SleepyTime Bath to Parker's bath water and mixed it around. It smelled a bit medicine-y when sniffed straight from the bottle, but once it was in the water, it didn't smell that way at all. In fact, I was surprised at how well it smelled in the water. Parker enjoyed his bath time, and when he got out, I used the Baby Moisturizer on him.
I like the feel of the Baby Moisturizer. It wasn't greasy at all, and it wiped off my hands with the first wipe. With most baby moisturizers I've tried, I've had to wipe my hands with several wipes before feeling like they were free of the lotion.
Overall, I was quite impressed with the Baby SleepyTime Bath and the Baby Moisturizer. And I think Parker was, too....
The best part is, by using products from EcoStoreUSA.com, I know I'm doing my part to help preserve our beautiful world that God gave us. I like everything EcoStoreUSA.com stands for, and I wish I had a Meijer close by!Want to Try EcoStore Products for Yourself?
