The Source Zero

One of my favorite shops in downtown SJ. The owner deeply cares about showcasing reliable, high quality products—many of which she uses herself. I’ve bought dryer balls, toothpaste, beeswax wraps, straws, a safety razor, and countless refillable hair and skin products and nothing has let me down. She’s added lots of beauty products as well which I can’t wait to try!

One of the best stores for living an eco-friendly, zero waste & sustainable lifestyle!
Love the concept of refilling household items such laundry soap, shampoo in your own empty containers or using the ones sold at the store. The store-owner was friendly & helpful.
During my 1st visit, I refilled my glass bottles with Aromaland's Lavender shampoo & mint conditioner, they smell great!
I also carried my empty pasta glass jar to refill it with some laundry detergent liquid- again lavender scented & love it.
Can't wait to stock up on beauty products (Elate cosmetics) on my next visit.
Everything at the store is eco-friendly and I wish more people support such stores to avoid plastic in their everyday lifestyle!!

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE

This shop is a hidden gem for folks who would like to start their zero waste or minimal waste journey.

- Quaint shop across San Pedro Market
- A small selection of assorted soaps, lotions, cleansers
- Good selection of assorted mason jars, containers, spray bottles
- Super helpful staff

Very resourceful zero waste boutique in south san Francisco. They are my one stop shop for zero waste household items, personal care, to go plastic replacement products. Etc. Its definitely a place to check out if you are exploring how to reduce your plastic consumption

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.

So happy to see an eco friendly store option in San Jose.

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).

Love that San Jose finally has a local refill spot! Will definitely be getting our shampoo and conditioner refilled here from now on. They also have "cuter" everyday items (think stainless boba straws, reusable bags, etc) that I love to give as gifts -- it's a win-win!

My new favorite store for natural shampoo and soap refills, reusable products like colorful straws and paper towels. Glad I don't have to make a trip to SF for these zero waste items anymore. I love it!!

AWESOME one-stop shop for all things Eco-friendly, sustainable, and PLASTIC FREE! No need to buy from Amazon ;) Adorable storefront and super kind staff. Take the VTA or other public transport!

First zero waste store in South Bay! Almost everything you could find plastic free alternative for your daily products. There is also workshops to learn more about zero waste lifestyles.

Everything is well priced, lots of options for refillable soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and laundry detergents. And they were super friendly!

Great sustainable products! Good for everyday hygiene, cleaning, and eating utensil items. Also great for gifts!

Love it! :) I have been searching for the stores that can provide refilling services, now there is one in downtown San Jose. They're great and not too costly, visit them!

Nice and cozy zero waste shop. You will likely find there all the self-care types of goods

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

Growing selection of low waste products, friendly helpful staff, beautiful store.

Love the assortment of plastic free cleaning products!

Good selection of products to refill & products to help decrease use of single use plastics. Also features local products.

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