Most of you readers wanna opt for green products whenever possible. But as we all know, not all green products are created equal. In fact, some green products just don’t work the way they’re supposed to, and give green stuff as a whole a bad name.

But usually, for most things you’re looking for, there’s at least a few good green options to pick from. So sometimes, I really wanna create a wiki, where green people can evaluate — and maybe even rank — green products.

However, from what I hear, running an informative, clean wiki takes some serious time commitment — which I can’t make.

So how ’bout this — Let’s start with lotions. Lemme know what you think of eco-lotions you’ve tried — whether you liked them, hated them, would buy them again, found them goopy, were grossed out by the packaging, didn’t like having to shake the bottle all the time — whatever.

A couple rules — All lotions we talk about here have to be paraben free. That rules out almost all conventional lotions, as well as a number of self-dubbed green lotions.

I’ll start by talking about Aubrey Organics, a company with a hardcore green mission I love. However, despite the fact that Aubrey’s line’s avaliable at Co-opportunity, I rarely buy the stuff. The packaging’s unattractive, and because the ingredients tend to separate, all the lotions require a vigorous shaking before each use.

In contrast, Bonicca lotions rock. I wrote previously that Bonicca’s lotions were rather pricy, but I’m starting to change my mind — mainly because I LOVE the Bamboo Flower lotion scent. The packaging could be improved, but we’re talking about a lovely, paraben-free, no-shaking-necessary lotion –

Let me know what you think of the green lotions you’ve tried, and I’ll try to put together a roundup of sorts based on your recommendations –
