Customers can (and are really encouraged to) test out products throughout the shop, and you’ll soon realize that “all-natural” doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice smell or a pleasant texture. Though the products are a bit pricey, they work, and you’ll feel better knowing that what you do buy is packaged in recyclable containers.
