We put a lot of time, research, and care into sourcing our products. We look at how it was manufactured, the values of the company who made it, how far it traveled to get to us, how clean its ingredients are, and how well the product performs. We prioritize producers who are committed to transparency, ethical practices, non-toxic ingredients, are BIPOC or women-led, and are local.

No product is perfect, but we guarantee we'll share everything we know about each one so you can make a decision that fits your values best.

If you know of a producer you'd like us to stock, please let us know!

Zero waste is a bit of a misnomer, and we believe it's important to acknowledge that frequently. Zero waste as a concept means what it sounds like - ideally producing no landfill-bound waste whatsoever. We know that's unrealistic, and we believe it does more damage than good to set unrealistic expectations or judgements on ourselves. 

For us, zero waste means that the decisions we make actively reduce landfill-bound waste as much as possible, by prioritizing reusable, sustainably-produced, and climate-friendly choices.

Yes and yes! We offer a selection of bottles and jars as well as matching accessories like pumps and sprayers. You are also welcome and encouraged to bring your own container of choice regardless of size, style, or material. 

We put lots of care into our sourcing and commit to being as transparent as possible so you can make the best choice for you. All of our products are ethically produced, non-toxic, and use minimal packaging if any at all.

No product is perfect, and often to fit our values and our budget, something has to get compromised. Our rating system is designed to help you easily identify which option fits your values best. Items are rated in comparison to other options available in the shop on a scale of 1 (least ideal) to 5 (most ideal).

Every product in the shop is rated in three categories for easy browsing:

Sustainability: Reflects the producer's business practices, brand transparency, product packaging, and product end of life.

Clean Ingredients: Reflects ingredient sourcing, quality, and related certifications.

Distance: Reflects how far the product traveled to our store.

Every product in the shop has a story! You can learn more about each of them in our online shop, in our product binder, or scan the QR code available next to them in-store to learn more. We're always happy to answer any questions too!

Soon! In coming months, we'll start offering local deliveries in the greater Rhode Island area. Stay tuned!

You can absolutely pre-order in our online store, and pick up your order during shop hours. We'll just need about a day or so to get your goodies together!

To keep things green, we do not offer shipping beyond the greater Rhode Island / New England area. That said, please feel free to reach out and we can point you towards another great refill shop to get what you need closer to you!
