1 Tree Planted

For every product ordered at A Drop in the Ocean, we'll plant one tree in your honor.

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."

- Ashley

solid dish soap bar

"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!"

- Gina

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."

- Caitlin

A Drop in the Ocean Shop Sustainable Packaging
sustainable shipping always

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 each offset 48 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.
