"I don't often buy scents without smelling them, but I couldn't resist the call of Christmas! And it PAID OFF. This soap smells amazing and it doesn't dry out my hands. I love it and might buy several more to carry me through the year!"

A Drop in the Ocean Shop Sustainable Packaging

Carbon-Negative, Zero Waste Shipping

Our commitment to zero waste doesn't stop when your order leaves our hands. Your order will always be shipped 100% plastic-free, with reused boxes from our vendors, neighbors, and friends, plus reused packing paper, a post-consumer recycled paper label, and paper tape.

Beyond the packaging, for every item purchased, we plant 1 tree on your behalf. Once those trees are fully grown, they'll offset 480 pounds of carbon each year. And when you check out using Shop Pay, Shopify itself offsets the emissions of your order, making your order double-carbon negative.

A Drop in the Ocean has shown me that it really is possible for a business to be fully transparent and put sustainability first! I really didn’t think that was something that was possible. Products are made locally, emissions are offset, packages are shipped with all reused and recyclable materials—it feels so good to be apart of a business like that!

Let's be friends

Hi there! I'm Krystina.

I'm the face behind this space. A zoo girl turned zero waste wannabe, a cat mom, a dance party junkie, 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.
