Where Can I Buy Eco-Friendly and Baby Safe Products?

The internet has made shopping easy for everyone. I’m one of those people who believes that you can find almost anything you want to buy online. But I also believe you need to research to get the best deal on the right products.

If you know what and where to look, you will get the best value for the money that you spend shopping online.

Recently, I wanted to know where I can buy good quality, eco-friendly, and baby-safe products at the best price. Therefore, I embarked on extensive research with the aim of finding the best online stores to shop for these products.

I had to visit different websites or stores to learn about their products and services. I also read reviews that other online shoppers have written about these stores.

Here are some of the stores I found with good quality, eco-friendly, and baby-safe products selling at the best prices.

1. Etsy

If you want to cut on carbon footprint in terms of your consumption, go to the actual source. Purchase products that are handmade by real locals. This enables you to avoid the energy consumption that comes with mass production of goods.

That’s what Etsy is all about. It is a direct line to great artisans from different parts of the world. You will be surprised to find some artisans right in your neighborhood. The store provides links to artisans that make everything that you need for your family. Whether you need fashion products, baby toys, needlepoint patterns, furniture, or anything else, you will find an artisan that makes it at Etsy.com. The store also allows you to search for artisans that use organic materials or reclaimed materials to make products. You can also search for vintage shops if you want to make less impact.

2. Amazon

Perhaps, you are surprised as I was on learning that Amazon has a Green Store. Personally, I’m an environmentalist. As such, I always focus on knowing the kind of products that I can find in any store that I visit. Amazon does not promote its Green Store. This makes finding it a challenge for most online shoppers.

Basically, Amazon Green Store is the place where you find eco-friendly products only. You can narrow down your search at this store to a specific location if you want to find something specific. If you don’t find it, check them all and you might find something selling at a better price than you anticipated.

3. Giam

This store offers a wide range of gears for eco-conscious individuals. Whether you need DVDs, yoga mats, fitness clothes, or strength training balls, you will find them at this store. It sells a wide range of green goods for different rooms of a home. I was personally impressed to learn that I could find beautiful organic cotton sheets for my baby’s bed at this store at a competitive price. I also bought a wood wine rack at the store. Ideally, this store gives you a chance to outfit your body, space, and even mind with environmental responsible must-haves.

4. Branch Home

Branch Home is another place to buy good quality, eco-friendly and baby safe products at the best price. It features different garden and home pieces with varied uses. Some of the items that I found selling at the best price in this store include toys and crayons for kids, cat grass, dog toys, natural fiber sheets, bamboo toothbrushes, carved serving boards, and sleek lampshades.

One thing that sets the items sold at this store apart is their beautiful designs. I can confidently say that whether you want to buy a gift for an aesthetically minded person or something for your living space, you will find it at this store. Branch Home is the place to shop when you want to give your décor a makeover or boost. The items that are sold here will truly give your personal style room.

5. Eco sites

Eco sites is a uniquely designed directory with a user-friendly interface. It is designed for people that want to buy eco-friendly items for their families or loved ones.

Even traditional women will find amazing products at this website selling at the best prices.

I was personally impressed by the clothes, beddings, personal care products, and toys that are sold at this store. Additionally, the links on this store open in new windows. This implies that you do not lose anything as you explore it.

One thing that I found exceptionally amazing about this store is the fact that once you click on a category, an eco-stores choice opens. This takes you to the products from Eco sites on Amazon.com directly. Thus, if you are used to shopping at Amazon, you don’t have to struggle to learn about Eco sites.

Eco sites prices are generally reasonable. Product quality is also good. I checked women’s clothing and its quality was amazing. I also wanted to buy a few personal care items and I found them with ease despite being a picky shopper. I also bought a poncho sweater that covers my lower arms and the neck from Eco sites.

6. Green America

I learned about Green America when it was called Co-op America. That’s way back in the late 90s. At this time, Green America had existed as Co-op America for several years. It also promoted its products through mail order catalog.

However, this catalog has been growing over the years. Today, it has more than 3,000 businesses. It has culled from the analyses of over 80,000 companies. The stores sell and/or make a complete slew of organic, environmentally safe products. The products are labeled “Made-in-USA”. They include water purification products, air purification products, and personal products for women. This catalog has more than 90 categories in the product listings.

The major categories at this store include food products, household products, personal products, family products, construction products, business products, and educational products. All of them are eco-friendly.

I personally found this store quite interesting because all goods sold here are made in the United States. Nevertheless, you have to go through several links to find the product that you want to purchase. But, the prices of the products sold at this store are reasonable.

7. EcoMall

This is an international store that was founded by UK professionals in 1994. It is aimed at giving consumers the necessary tools for migrating to environmental awareness. It focuses on enabling consumers to make buying decisions that favor the environment on daily basis both at a professional and personal level. Its underlying premise is to ensure that shoppers influence their economy by buying the right products. Choosing eco-friendly products makes the economy more earth-friendly.

EcoMall is a directory that opens with a beautiful, little info-graphic of the buildings that are labeled with shopping categories links. Such categories include Eco-Restaurants, Companies & Products, and Renewable Energy. It features twelve categories. The Companies & Products category has more than 60 subdivision links that cover food, financial, sports, construction, and other supplies.

I personally tried clothing and found one indigenous group making its own clothing and fabric. I found the fabric as 100% soft cotton. I really liked it.

8. Harabu House

Harabu House has a team that emphasizes on ‘global chic’ when it comes to selecting the products to add to the eco-line of products. The result of this is an electric selection of unique items from different parts of the world. Personally, I was impressed by the France tea towels in the store. I also found the paper-bead bracelets by Northern Uganda women amazing. The clutch bags made in Australia are also great. But, what I couldn’t resist were the baby blankets. These are handcrafted in India with keen adherence to Fair Trade guidelines.

This store makes shopping for gifts easy. It’s a one-stop store where you find all the items you need when it comes to buying gifts. It features beautiful items that are organized by gift recipients and categories. For instance, you can order a beautifully recycled glass owl nightlight from your favorite brand. You can also find perfect railroad nail cufflinks as a gift for your dad or brother. I also found a pouch woven with cassette tape impressive. The glass vases sold at this store made of wine and beer bottles are also amazing gifts for newlyweds.

10. Hipcycle

This is a store where you can buy good quality, eco-friendly and baby safe products made from organic or recycled stuff.

Basically, the store sells more items than you may imagine. All of them are eco-friendly and baby safe. Their price is also amazing.

It features nine categories. These are eco products, tourism, services, media, issues, trade, food, health, and raw materials or source. I was interested in the eco-tourism category when visiting this store. I found a total of 17 subcategories here and I explored all of them. I checked the wildlife viewing section that featured six pages of lodges and services from different parts of the world.

I also checked the clothing section. This had 16 listing pages. Basically, most stores in this directory are little. As such, you have to keep looking to find the product or service that you want. Nevertheless, the website has a good layout which makes shopping easy.

Basically, this store makes finding low-impact, high-style products for any part of a home easy. Whether you need natural, earthware cheese maker or benches made of recycled railroad ties, you will find it here.

You may think that gardening is a simple eco-friendly pursuit. However, pesticides or chemicals, mass-produced decorations, and plastic pots can give your garden a higher carbon footprint. That’s what made me start the search for eco-friendly gardening products. I found that Olive Barn sells eco-friendly gardening supplies that lowers carbon footprint significantly.

Some of the products that I found impressive at this store include greens, herbs, flowers, and greens seeds. I was also happy to find rice hull pots and Moo Poo compost teat at this store.
