Our Favorite “Earth Day Every Day” Eco Products
It’s not easy being green… especially as a parent. No matter how small, our new roommates move in with a whole lot of stuff that end up wasting away in landfills, ultimately leaving a big carbon footprint. It is up to us, parents and eco-conscious consumers, to lower the environmental cost of growing tiny humans.
To celebrate #earthday and help you green up your parenting act, we put together a roundup of eco-friendly brands for parents who are committed to sustainability and who want to do some good for the planet. Check out our picks below.
Baby Bum Sunscreen ~ $14
Known for their amazing sunscreens, Sun Bum developed Baby Bum – perfect for baby’s sensitive skin. This plant-based brand scored a 2 on EWG’s sunscreen guide.
Earthwise Reusable Mesh Produce Bags ~ $13
Stop using plastic bags for produce. These beloved mesh bags are an awesome resuable alternative.
Hydroflask ~ $32
Plastic water bottles should be a thing of the past. Once you switch to Hydroflask (serisouly, I have 7 of them 😂), you’ll never go back. Check out their pretty new spring colors.
BeeGreen Reusable Grocery Bags ~ $13
The key to reusable grocery bags is to always put them back in your car (or wherever you leave from) so they are ready for the next use.

Primary makes gender-neutral clothes that are also super soft and sustainable. Plus, they bring some fun pops of color to your little one’s closet! Check it out.

Paper Culture plants a tree for every purchase ordered, and their beautiful photo books are made from recycled, eco-friendly materials.

Loulou Lollipop is a sustainable children’s lifestyle brand. All their layette pieces are made from sustainable TENCEL — fibers from wood pulp that are biodegradable — and their teethers are made of food-grade silicone rubber.
Schmidt’s Deodarant ~$9
This stuff actually works and smells great! I like the “potted” version best but it also comes in a stick. This deodorant is Ecocert certified 100% natural, vegan and cruelty-free.
Girlfriend Collective Clothing
Ethically made athleisure wear (sizes XXS to 6XL), everything Girlfriend Collective is offering (even their packaging) is made from recycled materials. It also has an upcycling program, ReGirlfriend, to try and close the loop and generate zero waste as a brand.
Eileen Fisher Clothing
Eileen Fisher was the leader in sustainable fast fashion. They not only make all of their offerings ethically and sustainably, they also have a take-back program to use worn-out clothes to turn them into new designs.

Ellis makes all of its fragrance in small batches and uses clean ingredients and sources all of its materials sustainably. Plus, all their scents smell divine!

Pipette uses only clean ingredients that are gentle on baby and the earth and completely nontoxic. The brand is EWG certified.
Biossance Skincare
Another EWG certified brand, but this time for you, mama (and dad)! Biossance offers a variety of skincare essentials that are all clean and that work — like really work!
Beautycounter Makeup
Beautycounter is a leader in clean beauty that’s committed to making the market safer for both people and the environment.
Esembly Baby Cloth Diapers
Disposable diapers are one of the most detrimental consumer goods for the environment. With its sustainable diapering system, Esembly is committed to help parents radically reduce their carbon footprint.
Branch Basics Cleaning Products
Toss the toxins with Branch Basics and make your home safer. The brand’s concentrate can literally do it all, so they’re better for the environment (and your wallet)!
Ergobaby Everlove Program
We’re loving Ergobaby’s new carrier buy back, restore and resell program. Now your beloved carrier can make memories for a new family. ❤️
Wool Dryer Balls ~ $24
Dryer balls are reusable and designed to last for years. Ditch the chemicals in dryer sheets and go green with 100% wool dryer balls.

My favorite sustainable brand is Norwex!! I love their microfiber cloths with the baclock silver antimicrobial threading weaved in. They are awesome because they clean with just water and remove the harmful germs/bacteria not kill like traditional chemicals do. Their mop system is amazing, but they have tons of other sustainable products!
PS- I am not a consultant, just an avid lover!
