A trip to The Refillery involves an easy, four-step process:

1. BYOB (bring your own bottle) or buy a new, forever one.

2. Fill that bottle with any one of 30 products, offered by the ounce. All of The Refillery's bulk home and body products are not tested on animals and are free of chemicals and dyes.

3. Add scent; many of The Refillery's lotions, soaps and other magical concoctions are unscented, so you can do it yourself. Choose up to five essential oils to customize your purchases.

4. Mix, pay and go! The staff at The Refillery will make sure everything is properly incorporated and ready to roll.

The Refillery also sells their own candles, made from natural ingredients, that can be custom-scented or refilled. Choose from soy or local beeswax.

A portion of The Refillery's profits are donated to both local and international environmental charities, like the Santa Barbara Channelkeepers and the World Wildlife Fund. Every purchase not only helps cut down on plastic bottle waste but also helps fund conservation efforts.

It's shopping that's a win-win... for you and the planet!
