First Impressions

Right off the bat, the box itself is a work of art—sleek, stylish, and eco-friendly. ♻️ But here's the kicker: it's not just another "green" product that screams "for women only." My husband took one look at the box and declared, "This one's for me!" So, hats off to Canary for breaking the gender mold and creating something truly universal.

The Products
The Tea Tree Bar Soap, 4.5 oz bar - $7.00
1 of 3
As someone who lives and breathes skincare, I first reached for the Tea Tree Bar Soap. The ingredient list reads like a who's who of natural goodness: olive oil, organic palm oil, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, tea tree essential oil, and parsley powder. Finally, a soap where you don't need a chemistry degree to understand the ingredients!
The bar is designed to nestle perfectly in your palm, and it exudes a subtle yet refreshing tea tree aroma. It's vegan, cruelty-free, and devoid of nasty chemicals—yet it still lathers up like a dream.
After a few days of use, my skin gave it a standing ovation. No dryness, no irritation—even on my husband's sensitive skin. And the cherry on top? A single bar costs just $7, or snag a 4-pack subscription for $22!
The Toothpaste Tablets, 1-month supply (60 tablets) - $8.00
1 of 3
Full disclosure: I was a toothpaste tablet newbie. Despite my best efforts to go plastic-free, toothpaste had always been my Achilles' heel. But let's dive in:
- Ease of Use: These tablets are the epitome of convenience. TSA-friendly, pocket-sized, and idiot-proof. Pop, crunch, brush—done!
- The Flavors: I tried the peppermint first since it's the flavor I'm most familiar with. The peppermint is refreshingly subtle, like a minty kiss. For a more classic vibe, Wintergreen has got you covered.
- Texture: Here's where it gets intriguing. The tablets crumble like soft candy and don't foam up, which might throw you off initially. But trust me, you'll get used to the foam-free life.
- Pricing: A 4-month stash is a steal at $26 or $22 if you subscribe.
The Mouthwash Concentrate, 2 oz. bottle - $10.00
Prepare to have your mind blown. This tiny bottle magically transforms into a whopping 16 ounces of mouthwash! It's pepperminty without being overpowering, and it's far less harsh than your typical mouthwash.
I'd highly recommend the Starter Kit at $24, which includes two concentrates and a refillable jar. And guess what? A 4-month refill subscription is a mere $20!
My Final Thoughts
In a nutshell, Canary offers a seamless transition to a more sustainable lifestyle, particularly in oral care. The ingredients are transparent, the prices are unbeatable, and the experience is unparalleled.
If you're on the hunt for eco-friendly swaps, look no further. Canary is a no-brainer. And who knows? My next order might just include some of their fabulous face masks! 😉
