A small apothecary opened in my neighborhood that makes beauty products. They’ve been very accommodating with selling me shampoo and body wash in my own reused containers. It’s all locally sourced ingredients. I’m new in my Zero Waste journey but it feels great to eliminate plastic from part of my daily routine.

    Its all well and good until you try to refill a $10 bottle of hand soap and they charge you $50

      Nah I’m in a low income neighborhood and their prices are fair. They seem like good folks.

        I gotta try a new place then. I mean, the soap is nice but that was some sticker shock.

        Also, put a hair tie or rubber band on the soap dispenser. You’ll use the amount of soap you actually need, and your hands will come out cleaner.
