What Is A Green Spa?
A green spa is a center for healing,
aesthetics and wellness where reducing the
spa's environmental footprint is a top
priority.
|

Why
Choose A Green Spa? |
| |
Green
spas are
naturally
healthy
- By
limiting
toxins in
their skin
care
products and
in their
spa’s
environment,
green spas
provide a
healthier
experience.
Green
spas are
more
relaxing
- By putting
aside the
stressors of
modern life
– including
noise,
pollution,
toxins and
waste –
green spas
are able to
offer a more
balanced and
relaxing
experience.
Green spa
treatments
are more
effective
-
Synthetically
derived
skincare
products may
produce
quick
results, but
they might
also cause
damage.
Natural
treatments
are gentler
and help
ensure
long-term
health and
beauty.
Green
spas put the
body in
harmony with
nature -
Green spas
are attuned
to the
rhythms of
nature as
well as the
rhythms of
the human
body. When
nature and
body are in
harmony
humans feel
healthier,
stronger and
more
attractive.

The
Benefits
Eco-spas
exercise their beliefs in a number
of ways:
Organic, environmentally-friendly
spa products. Escape from
petroleum-based, chemical-laden spa
products.
Environmentally-conscious
facilities. Eco-friendly spas
promote Mother Nature-approved
practices like the use of recyclable
products, solar energy, non-toxic
paint and organic bedding.
Clean and green. Non-toxic,
biodegradable, phosphate-free, or
plant-based products are used for
cleaning eco-spas.
Waste treatment. Facilities
often feature biological waste water
processing methods, organic
composting and more.
