This is a conglomerate, so it will be hard to avoid. However, you don't have to completely rid yourself of P&G products. Just get rid of the easiest ones to replace in your house. P&G brands are more expensive than alternatives and they offer no additional value. Save money and buy alternative brands.
This is not a complete list of products to BOYCOTT, but here are some easy household ones you can replace with better and cheaper products:
-
Gillette - You can replace them with either safety razors or do what I do and buy cheap disposable razors (not made by gillette). They last as long, are as good, and far cheaper.
-
Herbal Essence / Head and Shoulders - You probably don't use this crap, but if you do change to any other brand.
-
Febreze - These aerosol deodorants are putting toxic shit in your lungs anyways. Get rid of it or pick a different brand.
-
Tide / Gain / Bold / Dawn / Joy / Daz / Bounty / Ariel / Ivory - Detergents / soaps filled with tons of toxic chemicals. Better to use any other brand and best to get a natural replacement
-
Crest / Oral B - I replaced mine with sensodyne. Much higher quality too.
-
Scope - Replace with Listerine or mom and pop variety
-
Old-spice / Secret - Replace with any other deodorant brand. I use Rexona
Stores like walmart oftentimes only have brands that are from a few conglomerates (P&G, Johnson johnson, etc). If you want to avoid a conglomerate, period, then buy these household durable goods from online. They never expire, so just order in bulk from Jet.com, Amazon.com, etc. Online stores have more product variety.

Not really. We would just be buying from local companies that provide healthier products at worst or just buying from main-stream brands that stay out of politics and culture wars.
Buying local and natural products is probably better than the harmful products these conglomerates sell. Conglomerate products are always bad because they include toxins in them that make them more shippable. A locally produced product doesn't need to worry about shipping 7000 miles and sitting in warehouses for 4 years due to long supply chains.
