Thank you so much for existing!! I was so excited when I finished my hair wash inventory and brought the clean, empty containers to refill! After a conversation with Tori, I cant wait til i finish the refills u0026 purchase a shampoo bar. Then, Ill wait for a Terracycle event to properly recycle these kind of plastic bottles. I used to buy brush with bamboo toothbrushes online but am happy to visit this location when I get to refill Hüppy tablets u0026 charcoal dental floss. Reducing my carbon footprint wherever I can! The associates have always been friendly and informative. Its a great place to buy sustainable gifts for yourself or others. Buy on an as-needed basis to truly rebel against the capitalistic, throw-away society.

My favorite section of the grocery store is the bulk department, buying food with my own reusable bags; not using my dollar to support plastic. Thankfully, Eco Now has utilized that idea to fill another area of our homes. I can bring my own containers to Eco Now, and fill them up with different body soaps, shampoos, conditioners, epsom salts, dish soaps, oils, toothpaste capsules, etc. They carry bamboo utensils and bamboo hygiene products, reusable bags, lip balm and deodorant in cardboard containers. The service was helpful, Kate refilled by bottles. Thanks Kate. The tiny store was clean and well organized. Crave lower waste living? Visit Eco Now.

The only zero waste refill station in Costa Mesa. I love Eco Now. For such a small store,, they have a surprising amount of options! The ASSOCIATED THERE ARE FRIENDLY, HELPFUL and quite knowledgeable about the items they sell and their ingredients. Plus, it’s just down the street from where I live. Although it is a bit pricy and because it’s located inside The Lab or Anti-Mall, it’s not easy to find a place to park. When Eco Now opened, they had a glass jar filled with charcoal floss refills, (package free), but for some reason this was removed and the refills were packaged. I think if people are going out of their way to make as much of an effort to live sustainably and shop consciously, they shouldn’t have to pay more, but less, because they’re buying less. However, Eco Now takes this into consideration. The more you buy in bulk, the bigger the discount you’ll receive! THANKS ECO NOW!

Isabel answered all of my questions and helped me get the right products so that I can be Greener in 2022. The store is ideally located Downtown Riverside and is easy to navigate to. Although it may look like a small store front, it packs a punch with a wide variety of items. Love that we can use and bring in clean reusable containers if you forgot yours at home instead on having to buy one. 😉 Super glad that Riverside store exists!!!

Love this lil zero waste shop! Its my go-to spot for some essentials - hand soap, dish sponges, laundry strips, etc. I try to use what I have around the house but Eco Now has provided an easy way to refill on the basics! I like that they have both a reusable bottle deposit program as well as a small basket of donated reusable containers that you can use to fill up with some goodies. Each of the staff Ive encountered and chatted with really live with genuine zero waste intentions!! A fav conversation I had was about an at-home vermicompost system for food scraps. Love their new newsletter and look forward to attending an upcoming workshop. All around, great spot!

This shop is full of great products that help you live a more eco-conscious life. The staff are always so helpful when I have questions and I never feel pressured or guilted into buying anything. Rather than throw everything out and buy new eco items, they encourage you to use up what you have and then incorporate new items, that way you reduce waste and saves your wallet.Lots of refill options for lotions, soaps, hand wash, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent...pretty much anything you need, theyll probably have. Just bring in your own container, or purchase one from the store and fill away!Ive been going here and their Anaheim location for a couple years now and will continue to be a repeat customer!

I like this shampoo specifically ☺️. Also, theyve recently relocated to a larger space just a few feet from the previous location—just across urban outfitters.

EcoNow is such an amazing store. The employees are always so helpful and you can tell the care and thoughtfulness that has been put into the store. They have a wide array of products that really covers all the basics and beyond. I feel like where ever you are in your zero waste journey EcoNow can meet you there.

Can you say GREENWASHING? They sold me $28 reusable napkins that I thought were ethically sourced, when the fabric actually came from Joanne’s. After a couple washes, the fabric started to fall apart. They also sell sunscreen you can get at target and piling stones you can get at Joanne’s for a fraction of the price. The $28 compostable trash bags fell apart incredibly easily, and the compost bin had abysmal design, as it gave my house maggots. No pride in what products they display. Other eco friendly stores take much more pride in what they allow themselves to display. I spent literally hundreds of dollars here, thinking I was shopping sustainably and ethically. I feel conned and taken advantage of. Lastly, with their quick store number expansions and heavy upmarks on Joanne’s fabrics and target products, it makes you wonder if they’re just trying to capitalize on a trend.

Eco Now is a pretty small store but had a good number of products ranging from grocery bags to actual refill stations. Zero waste products can be overly trendy, but Eco Nows store didnt have that characteristic (to me at least).

Love the products here - I have not found another store that meets my eco-friendly needs that this store has. This really helps us be one step closer to plastic / toxic free lifestyle. The store is always clean and makes such good use out of the space.

So great! I recommend this store ! You can find so many useful things! And we have discounts if you buy a lot of bulk, or if you go to a thrift store the same day before. Check on their website. I recommend also to go there to buy gifts for friends and family!

Remarkable selection in a little store! I was really impressed with how many choices they have. Many things in bulk/refill (like micellar water!) that I would never have expected! Lots of cleaning things both for houses and people :). Non-cleaning things too. I am really excited that I stumbled on this store!

Eco Now has a great selection whether youre a novice to zero waste practices or looking for the next, new item to further dial in your sustainable lifestyle! The team working here is very knowledgeable and friendly, too. During their temporary store closure from COVID19 they are offering a full line of products for free pickup or delivery with small additional cost and theyll go anywhere in OC!
