Good Clean Love now donates $0.04 for each bottle sold to a project that reduces greenhouse gases by an amount equivalent to that bottle’s carbon footprint. The initiative neutralizes the product’s environmental impact and simultaneously serves as a role model for smaller companies seeking to mitigate their effect on climate change.
Good Clean Love is also one of the only personal care product brands whose products are packaged using bioplastic, a material made from recyclable sugar cane. The leading renewable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, bioplastic is made with sugarcane ethanol and is entirely plant-based. Use of bioplastic aids in lowering carbon dioxide emissions, supporting economic growth in cane growing nations and diversifying energy sources.

Our company’s vision is to proactively focus on opportunities on next-generation tools and continually challenge the gas utilities and agencies with their emissions reduction programs and the efforts needed to develop sound government policy for GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions regulation.
