Where to buy eco-friendly products in Mexico City

Updated: May 10, 2020

We are the only ones killing the planet, but also the only ones who can revert the mess. That's why we need to make smart choices. Every time you throw something away, do you even know where it is going? You know the garbage truck will take your trash, but where does it really end up? The ocean, a landfill, a river, the street, and even inside an animal. If you don't recycle your plastics, no one will, and if your too lazy to do so then stop the cycle and do not buy plastic products. There are many places you can do your sustainable shopping, either online or at a physical store. I have listed some of the best places to shop for eco-friendly products in Mexico City.

Bulk stores

You can get food without any packaging at bulk stores.

I have two favorite bulk stores in Mexico City are Green Zero by Green Republic and Estado Natural. I love shopping in these stores because aside from being eco-friendly they have a lot of healthy options, I can get many snacks with low-calorie percentage, most of their products are vegan and local. Buying local is really important first of all It benefits the local economy, including supporting local farmers and other producers also consuming local products means food stays with in the country, so fewer greenhouse gas emissions are reduced.

ITEMS LISTED BELLOW CAN BE BOUGHT IN Green Zero by Green Republic AND Estado Natural.


Reusable plastic bags

Instead of wasting many plastic Ziploc bags just buy a pack of 5 reusable ones and use them when needed.

Bamboo Toothbrush

Can you even count how many toothbrushes you've thrown away in your lifetime? Imagine that multiplied by seven billion. Yes, seven billion humans need to brush their teeth, therefore there is a massive production of plastic toothbrushes, changing your future toothbrushes to a more sustainable one could actually impact and reduce your carbon footprint.

Toothpaste

Switch to tablets. They are all-natural, and a plastic-free way to replace the paste you've used your whole life. You can also buy toothpaste in bulk.

NOTE: Green Zero by Green Republic and Estado Natural offer shampoo, conditioner, and body cream in bulk. Solid shampoo, conditioner, and body cream.

Why solid bars? Well, let me tell you they have more benefits than you might even imagine. They are package-free, no more plastic waste. They are much better for the environment than bottled ones. They have a higher concentration, therefore they will last longer. Bottled shampoo and conditioner's first ingredient is water, it means they diluted. They are long-lasting, approximately from 50 to 75 washes per bar.

Al Agua is a Mexican company dedicated to the manufacture of natural and biodegradable products for personal hygiene. They use ancient recipes with current techniques and research that, when mixing vegetable oils and pure essences of the highest quality, produces delicious aromas. All their products are natural, eco-friendly and some are even vegan. I love their coconut solid shampoo, mango conditioner, and charcoal soap.

Their products can be purchased online or at their store in Monte Athos, they are also available at Green Zero by Green Republic.

Amai combines the medicinal powers of plants, flower essences and herbal oils to create 100% natural, organic, sustainable, and plastic-free products. It is a Mexican company created by Aislinn Derbez and Marianna Burelli. You can get their products online and also at Green Zero by Green Republic.





Lush is an American brand, they create fresh hand made cosmetics. Their products are 100% natural, organic, no GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. They specialize in the creation of natural cosmetics. They have a huge variety of shampoo bars and conditioner. Lush, you can find many different cosmetics, from natural deodorant bars, soaps, toothpaste, and facial cleansing bars. You can get their products at their online store or at many of their stores in Mexico.
