FAQs

Are you a vintage store?

Nope! We sell new sustainable, plastic-free home goods, personal care products and gifts, in addition to our bulk refill section.

The business name Vintage Green Review comes from the fact that it actually started as a blog and educational website back in 2019 that explored life before plastic: how we met our needs before so much plastic pollution came around, and how sustainable products today are often inspired by history. It’s old made new again-- reviewing green sustainable things from the past and taking inspiration from history in a new and better way!

And while being a vintage store is not our focus, we may have some secondhand or vintage glass and kitchenware for sale from time to time, just because it's fun!

Can people bring their own containers to refill?

Yes! You can bring glass or plastic jars and bottles, whichever you prefer. They must be clean and dry. Water or old product left in the bottle can compromise the quality & shelf life of the new products you’re filling. Even if water is listed as an ingredient in a product, it's often distilled water and in the correct proportion to other product ingredients. If there's additional tapwater left in a container it can still compromise the shelf life and quality of your refill purchase, even if the bottle is clean.

If you forget your container we do offer a limited selection of glass or metal bottles for purchase.

Do you make the products yourselves?

Nope! We don’t make any refill products ourselves--they're sourced from reputable, established small businesses throughout the U.S. and Canada. You refill directly from their containers. They’re closed loop & they take back their bulk containers to sanitize and reuse too!
