Love this store, sad that it down sized but I'm still here to support. I did have body soap bar on my list to get, but the bar soap prices look like they went up so I passed on it for this visit. The Shikai body lotion is really good and very moisturizing. I always come back for more. My fave is the coconut but all the scents smell so good! Puretergent hand soap in lemongrass is my first time trying it. Smells really good just like fresh lemongrass. Brush with bamboo toothbrush. It's a pretty good toothbrush as many bamboo toothbrush I've tried are too soft and I feel like they don't clean well. These bristles are firm enough but safe on your gums. Love how it's compostable! Service is always amazing here. The workers are very helpful!!!

They're still open but they moved close by to the San Pedro Market. See their Instagram for details.

The store is gone! Their website still shows them as still being at San Pedro Square, but the store is empty and their phone number doesn't work.

Saw them at a pop up near my work. Very impressed with their products so far. Got their laundry sheets and soap.

I've been shopping with Ashley since at least six years ago when she was at a local Campbell farmers market!! I came across her amazing CBD bath fizzes after surgery and my friend recommended a bath fizz with CBD to help ease my pain from stitches and release the stitches themselves. As I shopped at the zero source, this pop-up shop ended up having an actual storefront and has been getting bigger and bigger over the years! I'm so happy for the owner, as well as all the local vendors that have shelving space within her store! I love the idea of reusable products and not creating so much waste in our world! I've tried almost everything here, except for the toothpaste, pills! I need those for camping!! Every employee here is always helpful and friendly, and they always know about everything in the store! I especially love the CBD oils and those really help my chronic pain!! There's also a great section with candles, as well as sage, for the perfect housewarming present and cute little stocking stuffer like presents if you just need some thing here and there. My new favorite are there shower steamers!! I'm currently getting over a sinus infection and bought a pack of the shower steamers for $20 and those completely open up my nasal passage when I go to sleep at night!! I think there's 10 in the pack, but it's such a great deal it really wouldn't matter the cost!! I will always be a customer here and checking out all their new things monthly!! I highly recommend everyone to come check out the zero source and all their cool environmental friendly items for sale!!

if there's one thing, I'm a sucker for, it's zero waste boutiques. The sales associate was so friendly, and happily answered any questions I had about the products. There were many, many options for bath and body products, so maybe do some research before coming! The only recommendations I have for the business is to increase the amount of community jars + make them more visible in-store, and also to provide testers so that you don't have to make a full commitment (or I only get a tiny bit and have to come back later). I don't live close by so I'd love to support the business by buying more, but it's hard when you can't try the products! I ended up grabbing a sunscreen and some face lotion. I could seriously spend so much money here! The next time the holidays roll around, I'll be getting my locally-made, sustainable gifts here.

Small but unique shop. Creating items which are environment friendly. Items are a little costly but harmless to your body and nature. Please don't forget to bring your container . Highly recommend this store (at least one time visit).

Beautiful zero waste shop in San Pedro Square. They have bulk household beauty/cleaning products, reusable versions of normally disposable items, and almost no plastic. This is a great concept and great store to support!

Decent selection of soaps, detergents, shampoo and conditioners. They also sell glass jars in case you forget yours. The prices are pretty average maybe slightly above average for sustainable products, but no complaints here. It was a cute store and the sales associate was friendly. 10/10 will come back when I need to refill soap and such, would def recommend!

I was so excited to learn that San Jose had a refill store! It was quite busy when I stopped by on a Sunday but the woman working was so sweet to everyone and answered all my questions (as it was my first time here). Will definitely be back!

Bring some containers and check it out! Very helpful and knowledgeable employee. Prices can compete with conventional things you’d find at Target. Ie the detergent may seem to cost more, but you need a lot less (it’s more concentrated). So, consider cost per use, not just per ounce.I brought takeout containers and an old sunscreen bottle. I filled them with the store’s sunscreen, laundry detergent, and body lotion. Also bought a face wash bar.The sunscreen absorbs well and face wash bar took all my makeup off :) Looking forward to trying the other things I got.

A good place in downtown San Jose to bulk buy cleaning products.

We definitely need more zero waste stores! Yes, prices are a bit higher, but it's worth it or environmentally friendly options that are readily available in store. This place is also a small business, so I feel good about supporting that too. I walked around and was impressed by the options! Another reviewer seemed to list out the selection really well. I would attribute them having a more limited selection available because of space limitations - I spoke to someone who was very sweet in saying they listen to customer demands for their inventory and try to incorporate them whenever they can. They focus on stocking local items too which is great. I got a travel size David's peppermint toothpaste and it's working really well! I'm curious to know if at this time they switch out their products often or not! I could see myself trying new brands or different kinds of items. I hope they make it to an even bigger space so they can stock all options of items!

Great store! I'm glad to find one closer to home.
