It's Time to Rethink the Sink
🚿 Week 2: The Bathroom
πŸ‘‡ Direct Links Inside! πŸ‘‡

Every product below is a One-Click Swap that trades Chemical And Petroleum Ingredient Products In Plastic Packaging for Plant-Based Ingredient Products In Sustainable Packaging: cardboard, glass, steel, and aluminum. Tap any green link and rethink your bathroom Plastic-Free.

Week 1 we rethought the kitchen sink. This week we head down the hall. πŸ›

The bathroom is where two problems meet. There is the plastic that piles up in the trash: tubes, bottles, liners, and cartridges. And there is the part almost nobody counts, the Petroleum And Chemical Based Ingredients that rinse off your body, off your teeth, off the tub, and go straight down the drain into the water we all share. August is National Water Quality Month, and this is the drain we forget. Every swap below fixes both halves.

πŸͺ₯ At the Sink: What Goes Down the Drain

David’s Hydroxi Nano-Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste

Standard toothpaste is a petroleum based gel in a plastic tube, and every bit you spit out goes down the drain. David’s comes in a recyclable metal tube and rebuilds enamel with nano-hydroxyapatite, with no fluoride, SLS, or parabens.

Bamboo Toothbrushes with Castor Bean Oil Bristles

A plastic toothbrush sheds microplastics into the sink for months, then sits in a landfill forever. This 4-pack has fully compostable bamboo handles, plant-derived bristles instead of petroleum nylon, and completely compostable packaging.

SURI Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Most electric brushes are a sealed plastic body that goes to landfill the day the battery dies. SURI is aluminum, with a cornstarch head and castor oil bristles in place of petroleum plastic, and used heads go back free in a prepaid mailer. Certified B Corp.

⚠️ Straight talk: the head is a plant-based bioplastic, and the battery and seals inside still contain plastic. This is the best an electric brush gets, not a plastic-free one.

Huppy Corn-Starch Dental Floss

Conventional floss is nylon coated in PFAS, and what you rinse away carries those chemicals into the waterways. Huppy is biodegradable corn-starch floss in a refillable glass jar with a stainless steel lid. Buy the jar once, refill it forever.

Plaine Products Liquid Hand Soap

Typical pump soap is sulfates and synthetic fragrance in a throwaway plastic bottle, rinsed down the drain twenty times a day. Plaine is a botanical formula in a refillable aluminum bottle you send back and get filled again. Code Hippiekit = 20% off!

🚿 In the Shower: What Rinses Off You

Ethique Scalp Health Shampoo Bar

One concentrated bar replaces three plastic bottles of liquid shampoo. Plastic-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and 100% biodegradable, so nothing synthetic rides the drain out to sea.

J&L Naturals Shampoo & Conditioner Bar Set

A zero-waste duo that swaps two plastic bottles for two travel-friendly bars. Plastic-free, BPA-free, phthalate-free, and handcrafted in the USA.

Plant-Based Shampoo and Body Wash in Aluminum Cans

If you would rather stay with a liquid, keep it out of plastic. Plant-based shampoo and body wash in infinitely recyclable aluminum, with no petroleum-derived surfactants headed for the drain. Code Hippiekit = 10% off!

Organic Soap and Skincare Bars

Most body washes are petroleum-derived detergent in a plastic bottle. These organic bars, salves, and skincare pieces come wrapped in paper, so the only thing going down the drain is soap.

Handmade Cold-Pressed Soap Bars, Made in Canada

Small batch, plant-based, and cold pressed, wrapped in paper instead of plastic. Real soap rinses clean and leaves no synthetic residue behind, on you or in the water.

Hevea Natural Rubber Latex Shower Mat

Vinyl and PVC bath mats off-gas, harbor mildew, and shed plastic into the tub every time you shower. Hevea is 100% natural rubber latex, biodegradable, and free of PVC, phthalates, and BPA.

Bean Products Hemp Fabric Shower Curtain Liner

A PVC liner is one of the most chemical-heavy items in the whole house, and it sheds into the water every single shower. Hemp is naturally mildew resistant, machine washable, and lasts for years with no plastic at all.

HammerHead Solid Metal Inline Shower Filter

Every other swap here is about what leaves your bathroom. This one is about what arrives. The housing is solid metal rather than plastic, and the KDF-55 copper and zinc plus calcium sulfite inside convert chlorine and chloramine into a harmless trace of chloride, the same family as table salt. Nothing synthetic is added to your water, and it fits any standard 1/2 inch shower head.

πŸ“± Scan Your Whole Bathroom in Minutes

Our app launched on Earth Day, and it does this work for you. Scan any product in your home, or just upload a picture of it, and we will tell you what is really in it. Where we have direct links to Amazon, you can buy the swap right from there.

Once your new product arrives, swap it out. Toss the old one, or keep it if you want to. Industrial strength cleaners are worth hanging onto for the really heavy duty jobs. For everyday use, you simply do not need that.

Search β€œHippiekit” in the App Store or Google Play, or scan the code above.

The bathroom is the room where a single swap sticks the longest. Nobody goes back to a plastic tube once the metal one is on the shelf. And every swap here does double duty: less plastic in the trash, and fewer Petroleum And Chemical Based Ingredients rinsing down the drain into the water we all share. πŸ’š Start with one, and let the rest follow. 🌊 Next week we follow the water into the laundry room, where the plastic is hiding inside the detergent itself.
