For me, a no-brainer easy peasy swap is switching to
a clean plant-based natural shower and body wash.
At first, this may take some getting used to as most
commercial sulfate loaded body washes lather really
well and are filled with artificial fragrance. The
natural shower wash in comparison may not lather
that well and would have a naturally scented aroma.
But guess what? Your synthetic body wash is really
really dirty! Don't be fooled by gimmicky labels – these
shower gels have sulfates and fragrances which do
not translate well as grey waste. What that means is
simply, they are not eco-friendly.
Don’t you want to have a lighter footprint? Don’t you
want to try and swap some no-brainer products for
greener ones?
If yes, we have some superb suggestions for you.
Not only are these products gentle on the planet but
they also work amazingly and smell divine.
PRO TIP: As a conscious user take advantage of the BOP
TOOL. This has been designed especially for you. Bop
any brand on zoobop.com and check its clean or dirty
score before you buy it.
Zoobop scores brands on their formulations (type of
ingredients used across all SKUs), environment policies,
their clean footprint, packaging policies, labeling
transparency, cruelty-free practices, recycling policies
so that you know exactly how good and clean your
brand is.
Bopping is a great tool for looking behind all the
greenwashing that brands usually do. Bopping is as
easy and fun as it sounds. Trust me and it's super
addictive too!
All you need to do is type in your brand name and hit
bop. And voila all the dirt (hehe) on the brand comes
up. The good, the bad and the ugly side of brands.
You get a clean or a dirty score which is on a scale of
0-5, the higher the score the better and cleaner the
brand and its footprint.
Cleaner swaps are now so easy. The zoo shop @
zoobop is the only marketplace in India that sells
brands that are not only good and clean, but all
products have been vetted for you as well.
