Sustainable Wellness: Self-Care That’s Good for You and the Earth

Wellness with Purpose

September is the season of fresh starts. Whether it’s back-to-school, back-to-work, or simply settling into a new routine, it’s the perfect time to prioritize your wellbeing. But what if your self-care routine could also care for the planet?

At Earthinary, we believe that wellness and sustainability go hand in hand. By choosing eco-friendly self-care products and practices, you can nourish yourself while leaving a lighter footprint on the earth.

1. Start with Natural Skincare

Many conventional skincare products contain synthetic ingredients and plastic-heavy packaging. Switching to plant-based, low-waste skincare is gentler for your skin and kinder to the environment.

• Swap single-use wipes for biodegradable cloths, loofahs or soap bars
• Choose moisturizers and balms with recyclable or compostable packaging
• Look for simple, natural ingredients you can actually pronounce

2. Essential Oils for Mindful Living

Essential oils can uplift your mood, improve focus, and create a calming atmosphere at home. Plus, they’re long-lasting and versatile.

• Try an essential oil roller for on-the-go stress relief
• Use oils in a diffuser instead of synthetic air fresheners, or burn natural incense
• Blend your own natural scents for meditation or relaxation

3. Yoga and Movement with a Green Touch

Your wellness practice doesn’t have to come wrapped in plastic. Choosing eco-friendly yoga mats, straps, and bags means your practice stays grounded — literally.

• Hemp or organic cotton straps and cork carriers
• Mats made from natural rubber or cork
• Sustainably crafted bags for yoga gear, like Yoloha Yoga's Cork Tote

4. Create a Ritual of Rest

Self-care isn’t just about doing more — it’s about slowing down. A few sustainable swaps make rest feel even better:

• Replace candles with soy or beeswax varieties
• Sip herbal tea from a reusable mug or tumbler
• Add air-purifying houseplants for a fresh, calming atmosphere

Take the Next Step

When you care for yourself, you deserve products and practices that truly align with your values. By choosing eco-friendly self-care essentials, you nurture both your own wellbeing and the planet we share.
