REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal Care Lather UpWhat are the economic and personal benefits of switching to bar soap/shampoo/conditioner or refillable bottle options?
Katy Spittell 7/17/2019 10:49 AMI switched to bar soap and I think in the long run it will be cheaper. It also comes in cardboard instead of plastic which is a major plus. -
