7 Sustainable Brands for a Plastic-Free Bathroom
There's hidden plastic in our beauty and personal care items. Our shampoos, conditioners, and soaps often come in plastic bottles. Even our toothbrushes and cosmetics have plastic. This plastic breaks down into microplastics and gets washed away from our bathrooms into the oceans. We may even be ingesting some of it.
