BURLINGTON, Vt., Feb. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seventh Generation, a leading household and personal care products company and pioneer in the environmentally conscious products space, today announced the launch of Seventh Generation Not Just Body Wash™ & Seventh Generation Not Just Deodorant™, uniquely designed products on a mission to work like you need them too, and help protect our planet’s most precious resource – water.
This unique range of MADE SAFE® certified body washes and aluminum-free deodorants are not just made to help consumers stay clean and smelling fresh. The entire line is made with 100 percent Biodegradable, Water-Friendly Formulas®, designed to break down safely to reduce end of life impact and to help protect our waterways. Products are also packaged in post-consumer recycled plastic, including Ocean Bound Plastic. And, with every purchase, Seventh Generation will donate $0.25 per pack to Clean Water Action, a leading Washington D.C. based non-profit working to stop water pollution and to protect our nation’s drinking water.
“Now more than ever, it’s imperative that we take action to help preserve our planet. As a company that prioritizes the health of the next seven generations, we want to provide people with products that can help make a tangible difference without sacrificing efficacy. We’re as excited to bring these products designed to create positive change to market as we are to be partnering with an organization such as Clean Water Action to address the broader issue of water pollution,” said Joey Bergstein, CEO of Seventh Generation.
- Seventh Generation Not Just Body Wash™: Made with nourishing shea butter that helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture as it cleanses, this new body wash works like you need it to and is uniquely designed to help stop water pollution. Its packaging is made with 70 percent recycled OceanBound Plastic bottles to help remove ocean waste, and is free from parabens, dyes, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, animal testing or byproducts and formaldehyde.
- Seventh Generation Not Just Deodorant™: This aluminum-free deodorant is as effective as it is uniquely designed to help stop water pollution. Packaged in 100 percent recyclable canisters made with 65 percent PCR plastic, it features a 5-ingredient odor control complex, including arrowroot powder, to deliver 24-hour odor control. As with any Seventh Generation product, there are no synthetic fragrances. Seventh Generation’s scents are made from 100 percent essential oils and botanical ingredients, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready for the day.
“Too much of our water is still not safe for fishing, swimming and drinking -- we need more action to protect sources of drinking water. We're excited to partner with Seventh Generation to make progress on some of today’s most pressing water challenges. The company's growing market reach and role as a sustainability business leader, its aggressive commitments to reduce water and climate impacts, and its achievement of Made Safe certification for the new personal care products line add power and credibility to our work together," said Bob Wendelgass, Clean Water Action's President and CEO.
Now, we can start our morning routines like the planet depends on it. Both Not Just Deodorant™ and Not Just Body Wash™ are available at national retailers, including Walmart, and online.
