I’ve been on a mission to swap out the everyday products my family uses for safer, cleaner, and more sustainable alternatives for some time now. Some products make the cut, and some… don’t. One of the perks of blogging is testing out what actually works—so I only share the winners with you. Today, I’m excited to tell you about a brand that’s impressed me on every level: Community Goods.

From hair care to deodorant and toothpaste, they’ve reimagined our most-used products without plastic, without harmful ingredients, and without sacrificing performance. These are now officially on my shopping list.

My Favorite Find: The Shampoo and Conditioner Bars

Let’s start with what surprised me most: I’m in love with shampoo and conditioner bars.

I have long, thick hair that tangles easily. I’m usually the type who squeezes out a handful of conditioner and buys shampoo and conditioner by the liter. So I wasn’t expecting much from a bar. But wow—I was wrong.

I’ve been using the Citrus Squeeze Shampoo Bar and the Citrus Conditioner Bar, and they’ve completely changed my hair care routine.

  • The shampoo bar lathers up quickly and cleans my hair beautifully without synthetic suds. One thing that I’ve missed with other natural shampoos are the suds, so this is a keeper for me.

  • The conditioner bar is incredibly effective with just a small amount. My hair feels soft, detangled, and nourished. You wouldn’t believe how little I have to use now with amazing results!

Even better? No wasteful bottles, no synthetic fragrances, and no stripping ingredients. These bars are plastic-free, palm oil-free, cruelty-free, and full of natural goodness. Plus, my husband loves the extra space in the shower now that I’ve taken away 2 one-liter bottles of soap!

Fresh Mint Toothpaste Tablets

Toothpaste tubes create a shocking amount of waste—over 1.5 billion are tossed each year, and most are not recyclable. Community Goods offers a smart, sustainable solution with their Fresh Mint Toothpaste Tablets.

These tablets are fluoride-free and use nano-hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity. You just chew, brush with a wet toothbrush, and rinse. They leave my mouth feeling fresh without the mess, and they’re ideal for travel.

The Natural Deodorant That Actually Works

I’ve tried a lot of all-natural deodorants. And I’ve wanted to love them. But let’s be honest—most fall apart after a workout or long walk. I’m thrilled to report that Community Goods Deodorant has totally exceeded my expectations.

After five weeks of daily use, including workouts at the gym, I’ve never felt sticky and have stayed fresh all day. This natural deodorant actually works.  It’s smooth, effective, non-irritating, and packaged in a completely plastic-free paperboard push-up tube. I feel so good using this product because it’s a safer option, now I’m turning my kids and husband onto it.

Why I Trust Community Goods

Community Goods was built on the idea that doing good for the planet and our health can go hand in hand. From the beginning, they’ve put sustainability first by committing to:

  • Plastic-free packaging

  • PETA-certified cruelty-free and vegan practices

  • Palm oil-free formulas

  • Carbon-neutral shipping through EcoCart

  • Ongoing support of The Surfrider Foundation and The Ocean Conservancy

  • Long-term goals like B-Corp certification, becoming carbon-negative, and removing plastic waste from oceans

Every product I’ve tried from Community Goods has earned a permanent spot in my rotation. These swaps not only help reduce waste and toxins in our lives, but they actually perform better than many conventional options.

If you’re looking to make simple, healthy upgrades for your family, this is a great place to start. I’ll continue to test products and share only the ones that truly deliver—and I’m excited to say Community Goods is one of those rare finds that checks all the boxes.
