After watching Plastic Detox on Netflix, I knew I wanted to make a change in the way I live. I wanted to reduce my exposure to plastic and eventually become a plastic-free home.
One thing that the movie did not cover was the alternative products to use in the home instead of plastic-ridden options.
I knew swapping out plastic in my home would be challenging, but not impossible. So I found a solution.
I was recruited by a friend to a “demonstration” that also included lunch. She had purchased their vitamins, and a rash that she had had for months cleared up within weeks. It’s like it never even existed! I was VERY impressed.
I have eczema and psoriasis, so I wanted to check out what she signed up for. So, I came to one of her meetings.
Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Most were stay-at-home moms who wanted to make some extra income. As soon as they started the demonstration, I knew it was an MLM, known as Amway.
@alexgoesglobal Plastic Detox scared tf out of me. 😩 I found some ladies who showed me products I could immediately swap around the home to reduce plastic waste AND toxin exposure. I linked them here: Alexgoesglobal.com/detox The amount of plastic waste humans create is insane. And it continues cycling through our daily lives and never really goes away. Recycling is the biggest scam! ♻️ What other products do y’all recommend? I’m ALL ears for making our world a better place. 🌍 #plasticdetox #singleuseplastics #nomoreplastic #amwayqueen #amwayproducts ♬ original sound – Alex Goes Global
While I, along with millions of others, think MLMs are shady, I did not think their business practices were too aggressive. And their products were something I could stand behind. Most of their household product plastics are made from corn and are completely biodegradable. And their products are all organic and produced in their plants in Ada, Michigan, and are completely traceable.
Watching the ladies demonstrate how your current products are toxic for your family was like watching a magic show! I learned so much during their demonstration and knew immediately their products would be better than what I am currently using.
I immediately signed up as an “IBO” (Independent Business Owner) because I would get 10% off, and I needed to purchase new supplies for my home anyway.
They also gave me my first year as an IBO without fees. The annual fee is typically $60, which is less than an Amazon Prime subscription ($179.88 annually).
You also do not have to be an Amway business owner to purchase Amway products.
You can simply join as a member and enjoy free shipping on orders over $150. They have a catalog of over 350 items and can essentially replace many household products in your home.
Yes, it’s an MLM, but they have high-quality products, and you do not have to become an aggressive Amway seller unless you want to.
I plan to use my IBO to supply my home with products that will not harm my family and planet.
If you have never shopped with Amway before, here are some products that I highly recommend!
My Favorite Amway Products
Below are my favorite Amway products that I HIGHLY recommend. If you have any questions or want to sign up as an IBO for the discount and a year’s membership for free, please contact me here.
#1 Amway Laundry Detergent VS Tide Detergent Pods
I replaced my Tide detergent pods (85 for $29) with their Amway Home™ SA8™ Liquid Laundry Detergent (133 loads for $53). This is equivalent to 35 cents a load, and the difference in pricing is a penny per load.
The Amway container AND detergent formula are biodegradable, while Tide isn’t. Tide is also part of P&G and should be avoided for political reasons. 🍉
#2 Amway VS Palmolive Dishwashing Soap
I replaced my Palmolive dishwashing soap ($14.25 for 90 oz) with Amway Home™ Dish Drops™ Dishwashing Liquid ($16 for 330 washes or 33.8 oz).
Palmolive requires more product to achieve the same level of cleanliness as Amway’s products. Palmolive also leaves residue and requires more water to flush. Amway’s packaging and formula are organic and biodegradable. Palmolive’s is not. Also, why is it dyed green?
Colgate-Palmolive should also be avoided for political reasons. 🍉
#3 Nutrilife VS Florastor Probiotics
As a food blogger, I cannot live without probiotics!
I was using Florastor probiotics ($25.55 for 30 capsules) and replaced them with Nutrilife metabolic pre and postbiotics ($40 for 60 capsules).
Nutrilife is cheaper and not covered in annoying plastic and foil. While both work equally well, Nutrilife’s bottle is made from corn and is biodegradable. Yay, less waste!
I have tested SO MANY probiotics on the market that do not work. Florastor seems to work well for me regularly, and glad I found a working alternative through Amway.
#4 Dishwashing Tablets
I replaced my Cascade dishwashing tablets (62 for $24.90) with Amway’s Dishwashing tablets (60 tabs for $26).
The price and quantity are nearly identical. The difference is that Amway’s ingredients are non-toxic and organic, and the plastic is biodegradable. The tablets are wrapped in dissolvable plastic.
#5 Nutrilite™ Organics Women’s Daily Multi Gummies
I was taking Kirkland vitamins ($18), which are big horse-sized pills and filled with additives.
I swapped them for Nutrilite™ Organics Women’s Daily Multi Gummies ($36). The flavors are natural, and who doesn’t like gummies?
The empty jars are perfect for sauces or to hold dry food items.
#6 Glister™ Multi-Action Toothpaste
I swapped my Hello toothpaste ($17 for Three 4.7 oz tubes) for the Glister™ Multi-Action Toothpaste ($7.75 for One 7 oz tube).
Volume for Glister is more than Hello. Glister, however, does have SLS.
#7 Satinique™ Anti-Dandruff Scalp & Hair Shampoo
I swapped out my Vichy Dandruff Shampoo ($28.99 for 13.8 oz) for their Satinique™ Anti-Dandruff Scalp & Hair Shampoo ($25.20 for 1L).
I love Vichy, but their bottles are not made from recycled plastic, and Satinique was much cheaper by volume. Satinique bottles are made from 30% recycled materials.
#8 Deodorant
I replaced my Native Aluminum Free Deodorant ($13.97) with g&h™ Protect Aluminum Free Deodorant ($12.50).
This was an easy no-brainer swap.
#9 g&h™ Refresh Exfoliating Body Wash
I replaced my Dove Exfoliating Body Wash ($11 for 30.6 oz) with g&h™ Refresh Exfoliating Body Wash ($29 for 33 oz).
Dove comes in a plastic bottle and is a brand by Unilever, which should be boycotted for political reasons. Dove also requires you to use more product for a similar result. g&h is concentrated, and a little goes a long way.
#10 My Makeup & Skincare
I wear light makeup daily and absolutely love Amway’s beauty line.
I swapped my makeup products for the following:
#11 g&h™ Protect Hand Soap
I swapped out my Colgate-Palmolive Soft Soap hand soap (Israeli-tied company) for g&h™ Protect Hand Soap ($9.50 for 250 mL).
Their plastic container is made from 30% recycled materials.
Other products that I discovered and now use:
- Nutrilite™ Bone Health Pack
- Nutrilite™ Organics Turmeric Capsules
- Amway Home™ Prewash Spray
- Nutrilite™ Organics All-in-One Bars – Double Chocolate
- iCook™ Multipurpose Shears
- XS™ Pre-Workout – Green Apple (30 Servings)
