Celebrate Earth Month with These Environmentally-Friendly Products

While we don't need an excuse to celebrate and care for the Earth, we'll happily take one.

April is Earth Month, so we've rounded up a few of our favorite products from all categories and companies that are actively helping maintain and give back to the planet.

Aveda

Skipping a wash day can make a real difference. In the U.S., cutting just 3 minutes from your usual shower time can save approximately 6 gallons of water. If you shower daily, you could save 2,190 gallons of water a year!

Aveda’s Shampure Dry Shampoo and Thermal Dry Conditioner make skipping a wash easier than ever. The dry shampoo absorbs oils at the root while the thermal dry conditioner instantly conditions, detangles and softens hair. Both feature Aveda’s signature calming Shampure aroma. Shampure Dry Shampoo and Thermal Dry Conditioner  are available in Aveda salons, spas, stores and at aveda.com.

Paul Mitchell

The Tea Tree line comes in original, Lavender Mint and Lemon Sage. Each supports the brand's initiative to plant 750,000 trees throughout the world. The Lavender Mint line is light enough to use daily. The formula moisturizes, detangles and smooths strands. Scents of lavender and mint calm the spirit while leaving hair smelling deliciously fresh all day long.
