Top 10 New Eco-Friendly Products to Buy at Target (2017)

eco-friendly products at targetA Quick Trip to Target

Some of us are guilty of loving Target too much.. JK! You can’t love Target too much. You’re probably there right now, picking up your chai latte from Starbucks and telling your kiddo that this may take a while. You only came for one thing. Yea right, hahaha! This one thing will require you to browse every aisle. Twice. And you’ll leave with more bags than you have hands to carry. And that’s alright, because Target is legit. Not only is the design mesmerizing and fun, but their merchandising team is on top of it. They sell THE BEST products. They even have a great selection of sustainable, organic, and eco-friendly products that I can’t find at other stores. I’m sharing my Top 10 with you here today. Let’s get started!

Top 10 Eco-Friendly Products at Target

1. Disinfecting Wipes

I usually buy the lavender Mrs. Meyer’s products, but my new favorite scent is Honeysuckle! The products work well to clean surfaces without a lot of harmful chemicals and overpowering smells.

4. Weleda Body Products

The first time I used “skin food,” the name was so odd to me. It is perfect for this product, though, because it literally nourishes your skin.

5. Essential Oils

Essential oils have so many great benefits. We use lavender in a diffuser for colds, in oil and applied to the temple or feet for headaches, and in the diffuser for a nice, calming scent. The Aura Cacia brand offers several types of essential oils and EO products, and their Discovery Kit is perfect for testing a few of them out.

6. Play House

Little Tikes Go Green Playhouse
This is on my wishlist! It is a playhouse that uses playing to teach about eco-friendly concepts. Solar panel, LED lights, rainwater collection, living roof, gardening, recycling bins, and more. This is the playhouse of my mommy’s dream, too!

7. Bath Products

Shea Moisture Mommy & Baby
Shea Moisture is a small all-natural brand that has made it to to big shelves at Target while not compromising their natural values. 

8. Diapers

Seventh Generation Diapers
We use cloth diapers 99% of the time, but we buy Seventh Generation diapers when we ned disposable diapers!

9. Toys

B. Toys Alphabet Tiles
B. Toys has a mission to inspire kids and also protect the planet. They us soy-based inks, minimize the use of packaging, use recycled  and recyclable materials, and encouraging consumers to B. nice to the planet.

10. Baby Wipes

Water Wipes Sensitive Baby Wipes
Mom hates overly scented things, and I can understand why. There’s really no need to perfume your bottom. So here are mom’s top pick for unscented and gentle baby wipes.

Discarding the top of strawberries has been the norm my entire life. But why?

Eating the tops of strawberries is one tiny sustainable change that didn’t take a lot of effort. 

What’s one small eco-conscious change you’ve implemented that made you say “Why didn’t I think of this before?!” 💡✨
