It’s always great to support small local businesses. Especially those that are BIPOC and Womxn owned. Below are a few shops that I’ve supported in the past and really enjoy.
Do you know a small business owner who could use some publicity? Or are you a small business owner who would appreciate a mention? Feel free to reach out!
I look forward to building out this page with a list of recommendations.

Earth Conscious Shopping
These brands might not be as small, but they have a commitment to providing products that produce less waste after you’re done using your go to items:
Package Free Shop – marketplace for commonly used household goods, you’re one stop shop for low-package, package-free products.
Dental lace – refillable dental floss
Georganics – toothpaste powders and tablets packaged in glass bottles (that you can reuse)
Unwrapped life –
Modibodi – Reusable period underwear and other leakproof garments — for perspiration, pee, and pregnancy — for all genders. They also sell baby, maternity, and postpartum items (including breastfeeding tops).
(Pro tip: They also have waterproof bags which are great for storing used period undies or reusable pads when you’re on the go.)
