Review: Whole Foods 365 Herbal Mint Shampoo

I am often asked about affordable options for natural beauty. Only a few stores, such as Whole Foods, have ventured into a "house line" for beauty. Their 365 Everyday Value brand isn't just for food. I put their Herbal Mint Shampoo to the test.

Pros:
  • Affordable
  • Comes in regular and larger sizing
  • Lathers well
  • Avoids many harsh chemicals
  • Available in a variety of scents and types
  • Packaging is 50% recycled
Cons:
  • Only available in-store at Whole Foods
Summary:
My man is a huge fan of mint-scented grooming products, and this shampoo is no exception. It performs as well as the conventional competition and has a refreshing scent that works well for both men and women. I was surprised to see that, despite the long list of unpronounceable ingredients, this still ranked a low 2 on the EWG Skin Deep database. It appears the main drawback to this shampoo is that it is only available in Whole Foods stores (and not online). However, it is one of the best budget lines on the market, so I recommend checking it out at a Whole Foods near you.

    1. Hi Tim,

      While many products mentioned in my reviews aren't currently in the EWG database, they have a Build Your Own Report feature that can be used to determine a rating. I use this for each product that doesn't have a match in the database. You can do the same if there are any products you'd like to review.
