As a mom who is passionate about preserving the environment, I’m always looking for companies that offer eco-friendly alteratives to conventional products.  Some of the products we use most often (body care products and cleaning products) can contain the most toxic chemicals.  New Zealand-based company Ecostore, strives to ensure that every product is “good for the user and good for the planet.” The company has expanded to other parts of the world, including here in the US and offers baby care, body, hair care, household, and pet care products.

Now through June 29, the company is hosting a contest on their Facebook page where you could win a $500 Visa Card (wow!).  Here is what you need to do to enter:

• Make a 30 second clip of you using the lemon cream cleanser showing the effectiveness and how it is healthy and eco-friendly.
• Download your 30 second clip to any service such as YouTube, Google Video or Viddler. Link to this video on our Facebook fan page.
• Become a ecostore USA Facebook Fan and provide the link to your video.
• One winner will be chosen by the ecostore USA team based on creativity, uniqueness, and effective use of the product.
• Video Contest begins June 16th and ends June 29th, 2009
• All Entries MUST Fill out the online entry form (found on their site).

What the Winner Receives

• A $500 Visa Card
• A link to the ecostore USA website and blog to the winner’s blog, video or both.
• A link to the winner’s video, blog or both that will be used for a coupon at coupon.com to promote the lemon cream cleanser at Meijer stores.

I actually love cleaning with plant-based cleansers so I’m definitely planning on entering!  When I get my video up, I’ll let you all know!
