the unwash review
Guests on Earth is a planet-minded home cleaning company helping reduce plastic waste traditionally used with cleaning products. Providing transparency from where ingredients are sourced to where your product is being packaged, this brand is working to help consumers be more aware of the lifecycle of their purchases. Seeing a gap in the industry and lack of innovation, Guests on Earth wanted to create a product that is something consumers can genuinely feel good about.
“I’d like our brand to be a force for change, we want to make a positive impact.” – Jackie Prinze, Guests on Earth Co-Founder
Founded by two friends looking to make a difference, Guests on Earth is a chic yet conscious product swap. The brand offers a range of refillable all-purpose cleaning products and hand soap packaged in aluminum containers, as well as reusable spray nozzles and pumps. Guests on Earth makes choosing sustainable choices an easy task. All packaging is recyclable or compostable; the only plastic used is spray nozzles and soap pumps. These items can be reused indefinitely and were manufactured with longevity in mind.
Founders Jackie Prince and Liz Dayton aim to create a new norm in the industry and create a ripple effect of change. Using their platform for good, the brand’s website hosts their blog Good Guests, where they highlight other founders of brands with similar ethics and goals. Guests on Earth is working to create a product that doesn’t contribute to additional plastic waste while having a solid personal aesthetic are at the heart of Guests on Earth and truly delivered on this front.

Haeckels
Skin and body care brand Haeckels has been around for the past decade and has been a pioneer for sustainable skincare in the UK. This past summer, the company went under a rebrand not only for its design but for ensuring its sustainability platform met new standards. The brand aims for complete transparency for its consumers to provide the best quality product while maintaining its ideals for sustainability and conservation.

Plus
Plus eliminates the use of unnecessary plastic with their dissolvable packet-based body wash. Once you’re in the shower, rip open the packet, and it can all go safely down the drain. We love this product because whether you’re looking for something for everyday use, travel, or throwing in your gym bag, the brand innovates a product that we maybe didn’t realize needed a change. For daily use, you can purchase the refillable dispenser, and for on-the-go, the travel packs are perfect.

Freestyle
Freestyle is an up-and-coming diaper brand that wants to revolutionize personal care for children. When it comes to making more earth-focused purchases, we shouldn’t let these values fall to the wayside when supporting child-based brands. Made from a hyper absorbent planet-based BambooTek, these diapers provide up to 12 hours of leak protection and are almost 100% biodegradable. Freestyle is working to give parents peace of mind when choosing the best diapers.
