This friendly and well-stocked co-operative is run by three soapmakers who founded Savon Populaire. I finally popped in today as I noticed the bulk soaps/shampoos etc. and have been looking for a place to re-fill my house-hold cleaning and basic soap (normally I use Dr. Bronners) bottles. I was truly surprised at the quality, selection and price of the various products they had. Everything from organic Apple Cider Vinegar ($5.79 for a huge bottle!) to home made soaps, scrubs, organic oils (apricot, neem, castor, olive...), lotions, and much more. I was so impressed with the store I visited their website when I got home and learned that they also offer workshops including soap-making ateliers (French only) and their mandate is truly admirable:
"We are dedicated to making excellent skin care products available at reasonable prices, while not sacrificing their quality or the environment. We make every effort to keep our packaging to a minimum, offering reusable or recyclable containers when possible. We only use natural products derived from vegetables and plants, creating a biodegradable product that is also environmentally friendly."
If you are interested in reducing your waste in the personal hygiene and cleaning products department then I would highly recommend visiting this store.
