Earthwell in North County!

Thanks to our friends at Morninga For Life, Earthwell Refill will now have a presence in North County once each month! Be sure to remember the dates, and come on out to Moringa for Life's location at 2210 East Vista Way, Suite 9 for a selection of our basic staples for refill, as well as some surprises!

The dates for the next three months are February 22nd, March 15th, and April 19th. We will update you via the newsletter and website on dates for future months.

Wallowa Valley will be our new brand of Dish Soap, in Unscented and Citrus varieties. These luxurious soaps are made from over 99% plant-based ingredients and leave dishes and others surfaces sparkling clean. Richly concentrated without added thickeners means a small amount goes a long way. Free of EDTA, SLS, SLES, dye, and phthalates.

In the Laundry section, our former Rosemary Peppermint option will be replaced by Wallowa Valley Citrus Laundry Liquid; three powerful plant-based enzymes make this detergent ultra-effective. Works great in hot or cold, hard or soft water. Cleans and protects fabrics with minimal environmental impact. Free of SLS, SLES, dye, EDTA, synthetic brighteners, phthalates, chlorine, and persistent polymers. Not tested on animals.

Lastly, Nellie's Oxygen Brightner will be replaced by Wallowa Valley's Oxygen Bleach Powder, an effective mineral-based bleach powder that brightens and whitens without harming the environment. Works great in hot or cold, hard or soft water. Septic safe. Free of chlorine, phosphates, phthalates, ammonia, optical brighteners, SLS or SLES, DDBSA and EDTA.
