Save Money & Be Eco Friendly With Your Personal Care

With the current climate, we are all doing our bit to become more eco-friendly. Changes include; using more sustainable products, using recycled materials and reducing our carbon footprint.

But have you thought about how you can be even more eco-friendly with your personal hygiene products, especially in the care industry where wipes, caps, plastic components are constantly being binned after use?
Try our UK made, cruelty free, eco alternatives and save time, money and waste….

The savings are phenomenal!! Nilaqua 500ml shampoo at full retail price costs just £0.75 per full wash, (trade is even cheaper)! How much do you pay for your Shampoo Caps? £2.00 each, £3.00 each? Again the 500ml body wash is just £0.41 full per wash. How much do you pay for your wipes? Have you considered what it then costs to dispose of these items?

Another area to look at is energy and utilities: Although living in the UK where there’s an abundance of water and rain, it’s not the same around the globe. The availability of clean water is becoming a crisis when combined with global warming – reducing how much water we consume is a must!

Did you know Electric Showers are the most energy-consuming appliance in your home and can use a whopping 1,820 kWh in a year. One way to reduce this is to have less frequent showers, such as every other day or every few days.

Not always possible if you lead a busy lifestyle or frequently need to use the shower due to accidents etc, that’s why Nilaqua is here to help solve this issue.

Nilaqua has a range of “Towel Off” shampoos and body washes that allow you to wash effectively without water. All you need to do is apply the liquid, massage into a foam, and towel off. Leaving you with soft clean hair and skin, just as if you’ve just had a shower or bath.

Here’s the breakdown of how much water & MONEY can be saved…

1 bath = 80 litres
1 bottle = 480 litres/320 litres
On average people bath around 2-3 times per week, that’s 156 times per year! 12,480 litres per person
The average house holds 4 people = 49,920 per house per annum

You can save even more water and energy with Nilaqua’s 500ml bottles

1 shampoo at average 50ml per wash = 10 baths saving 800 litres
1 body wash at an average of 33ml per wash = 15 baths saving 1200 litres

If you’re a shower person more than a bath, there’s definitely energy savings to be had.
