How to recognise good personal care
- The ingredients list: The shorter it is, the easier it is to read. According to hello simple, the hello simple Deocreme Limette-Zypresse contains just six ingredients.
- The size: Fair Squared offers shower gel and liquid soap in 500-millilitre bottles for stocking up.
- The fragrance: It determines whether you use up a product. You cannot smell products online, so read the manufacturer's fragrance description and start with a scent profile you already know, such as Limette-Zypresse from hello simple or lavender, peppermint and citrus orange from Dr. Bronner's.
Our brands: why these ones
When selecting our brands, we look at materials, origin and production. We stock Fair Squared from Cologne for larger sizes: the Shower Gel Lime comes in a brown 500-millilitre bottle, as does the liquid soap. Dr. Bronner's stands for natural soaps that the manufacturer calls 18-in-1; according to Dr. Bronner's, all the main ingredients come from fair trade. hello simple states that it makes the Deocreme Limette-Zypresse in Cologne. I+M states that it produces entirely in Germany, mostly in Brandenburg; for the Berlin Körperlotion, we checked the COSMOS ORGANIC certification in the certifier's register. The manufacturer describes the toothbrush handle from Humble as 100% bamboo, and we also stock Hydrophil toothbrushes made from bamboo. For the manufacturers' claims, Taiga Transparency shows the source and scope of each claim on the product page: for Shower Gel Lime, Fair Squared states that the ingredients carry a Fairtrade seal, and the product page makes clear that this does not apply to the whole product.
A basic routine that covers the essentials

hello simple states that one pack of the Deocreme Limette-Zypresse lasts three to four months.
Which bamboo toothbrush is right for you?
Humble offers bamboo toothbrushes in Sensitive and Soft, while Hydrophil offers Medium Soft and Extra Soft; there are also toothbrushes for children.
