      My ex-boyfriend used to be the worst backscratcher ever, leaving me to find another alternative (and eventually, another relationship).  This bath brush gets the job done and cleans me at the same time; I just squeeze a little Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap on the nicely sized brush and I get a rich lather on contact.  The handle is long enough to let me reach areas in the middle of my back, it also has a hemp string on the end that allows you to hang the product in the shower.  This brush allows me to confidently show the clean, smooth skin on my back.

Pros:

  • EcoTools donates to environmental organizations.
  • The bristles on this brush aren’t too rough on my sensitive skin, they lightly scrub.  The construction of the brush is solid, allowing me to scrub as hard as i like.
  • The bamboo handle is eco-friendly.
  • The brush is affordable: approximately $5.99

Cons:

  • There isn’t any way to clean this product, soap scum will eventually build up on the brush and I will have to replace it.


Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps

    Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps offer a luxurious lather without any harmful detergents.  The peppermint fragrance is my favorite, upon contact the smooth bubbles give an icy-tingling sensation and i feel squeaky clean the rest of the day.  The entire bathroom smells like a mint candy after i use this as body wash, but no scent remains on my skin; this soap does not interfere with my perfume.

Ingredients:  Water, Saponified Organic Coconut* & Organic Olive* Oils (w/ Retained Glycerin), Organic Hemp Oil, Jojoba Oil, Natural Fragrance, Citric Acid, Vitamin E.

Pros:  

  • Certified Fair Trade Ingredients*
  • No synthetics or detergents.
  • Eco-Friendly:  100% Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic Bottle and 100% Vegan.
  • Sold in a variety of Fragrances: Peppermint, Almond, Rose, Eucalyptus, Citrus, Lavender, Baby Mild, and Tea Tree . 

Cons:  

  • I do not recommend the bar soap, the lather is not full-bodied and the fragrances are weak.
  • Price is slightly higher than competitor’s, a 32 Oz. bottle costs approximately $13.99
  • The packaging is unusual, covered with radical quotes about unity, “We’re all-one or none!”
  • The nozzle of the bottle can get clogged if you don’t close the lid tightly.
