They're great for cleaning products
They're great for cleaning products. We had a pest problem and the ingredients (I'm assuming the tea tree oil) has repelled them and we no longer deal with having to call pest control. I know there are more natural products out there, but their stuff is less toxic and more environmentally friendly than other cleaners. Definitely safer than filling our house with bug spray and whatever else pest control uses. I'm sure we could make something DIY and figure out that magic combination that has scared away the bugs but we don't have time and a lot of times that ends up costing more. I love their scented oil plugins, laundry products and fabric spray. Our house smells and feels a lot fresher. Why only 3 stars? They're not very transparent about animal testing. They've tested a few of their products on animals and lost their "Does Not Test on Animals" seal of approval. There's just no need to test on animals. What's toxic to animals isn't always toxic to humans (i.e. stevia). There are more modern and accurate testing techniques. Also, their packaging. OMG, NOT environmentally friendly. They need to improve on this. Maybe team up with Terracycle, like other companies, use glass instead of plastic and/or create a return program for packaging like Lush cosmetics does. Also, not all of their products are that safe toward the environment. Their sunscreen needs to improve itself on becoming reef safe. Some products list "fragrance" as an ingredient (need more transparency there). You need to spend about a minimum of $65 every month. I think this is completely realistic if you combine what you need and look at your monthly budget for certain necessities anyway (lotion, first aid, cleaning products, etc.) and then take advantage of the Learn to Earn.
