Green Thursday: I'm soaking in it!

I know Madge at the salon uses Palmolive, but in the LipsYard kitchen, we're all about seventh generation dishwashing liquid. Seventh Generation is tough on dirty dishes, but gentle on your hands and the environment. Their products don't contain chlorine or phosphates, are safe for septic and greywater systems, and are never tested on animals.

It's also made in the USA, not some Lead-tainted warehouse in China.

If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 25 oz. bottle of petroleum-based dishwashing liquid with their vegetable-based product, we could save 86,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 4,900 U.S. homes for a year!

So what's in it? The label says: A unique combination of naturally derived cleaning agents (corn and/or coconut-based surfactants), Preservative (less than 0.05%), Water.

Every Thursday, we bring you information about making your life better, and saving the planet at the same time.
