How many cotton balls have I sent to the landfill?






Up until a few years ago I bought whatever brand was on sale at the local drugstore. Once I started caring and thinking about what I put on my face is just as important as what I put in my body -- Well... I switched my buying habits and started buying Chemical Free Organic Cotton balls.

I got lucky on this one, because the Organic Essentials cotton balls are made in USA. During one visit to our local market Glen brought up a valid question. "How many balls do we really use?" In our household one bag of 80 lasts us about a month. So... That's 960 cotton balls a year that just our family is sending to a landfill. There is always an alternative. Glen suggested an organic cotton washcloth. I knew with my sensitive skin I would regret agreeing to that sacrifice. I jumped online and after a few minutes of research and reading reviews, I found it!

REUSABLE Organic Cotton Rounds, Made in the USA, in a recyclable waterproof cardboard dispenser. Thirty rounds come in the box with a cute little mesh bag to throw them in the washing machine (of course to be washed with my biodegradable detergent)

They also have reusable silk tissues.

I placed my order and the box arrived a few short days later. They work great. The rounds are very absorbent and soft.

Thanks better for grown ups!

No more disposable cotton balls for us!
