aka our EcoWarrior favorites 🥰
refillable laundry detergent

"Best detergent I've ever used!"

"This is absolutely my favorite product. It not only cleans your clothes without leaving a film, but it also smells great. By far my favorite. One jar lasts my household of four an entire month because you have to use so little of it."

"One of the easiest low waste switches!"

"I absolutely love this soap! Not only does it smell amazing, but it's also a fantastic degreaser! I hand wash all my dishes and they all feel so squeaky clean with this soap!"

charcoal face wash bar

"Feels like I went to a spa!"

"I was skeptical of using a face wash bar for my sensitive skin but I absolutely love this charcoal bar. I've been using it for over a year so this review is well overdue. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed and is not too drying."

I've been trying different online zero-waste shops for over 5 years now, and I've largely found them to come up short. A Drop in the Ocean is the first shop I've felt confident they're living up to the mission. From the packaging to the shipping box to the circular design for most goods, I'm truly impressed. Really appreciate the lengths this company goes to for sustainability.

Let's be friends

Hi there! I'm Krystina.

I'm the face behind this space. A zoo girl turned zero waste wannabe, a sea shanty enthusiast, a kitchen dance party fanatic, and a pasta connoisseur.

I founded A Drop in the Ocean back in 2019 when zero waste meant endless DIYs, grocery store bulk bins, and more reusable straws than one person would ever need.

Today, zero waste has become so much more, and I am so here for it.

In this space, you'll find sustainable, refillable, and zero waste alternatives to all of the everyday essentials we use every day - from laundry detergent to mouthwash. All carefully curated and approved by moi, with total transparency and a whole lotta love.

Welcome, my friend, to A Drop in the Ocean.

I love this store! Local, woman-owned business delivering plastic-free, natural, and sustainable bath and home products! Krystina has lots of new products that are great finds. And I can trust her to find products that are actually good for the environment - she's a true eco-advocate, not a green-washer.
