For many people, the products used for personal care are ​among the most common sources of single-use plastic ​and waste.


We created this Personal Care Sustainability Sampler Kit ​to offer products that replace the traditional wasteful ​items with new products that are easy to use. Many are ​from small businesses here in Virginia.


We’re giving away these kits for you to sample the ​alternative products that are good for you, and good for ​the environment.


Follow us on Social Media, our weekly blog, and our ​eNews to learn about giveaways.
