waste reducing exfoliating body cleanser


bad idea=waste reducing exfoliating body cleanser by Green Natura

This body cleanser, or soap, was provided in the bathroom of The James hotel in Chicago, the place I stayed this past weekend. Each bar has a big oval hole in the middle, "designed to eliminate the unused center of traditional soap bars."

Why is this such a bad idea?

Instead of being left with a little chunk, the "unused center," you're left with a little ring. And this little ring is pretty much the same as a little chunk. From what I can tell, the little leftover ring of waste reducing exfoliating body cleanser is about equal in mass to the typical leftover chunk of your traditional soap.

On the back of the packaging they go on to remind us that "This soap is cruelty free and contains no animal fat or byproducts. This carton is made from natural recycled packaging printed with soy based inks."
