8 Best Amazon Alternatives For Essentials

We all need to buy things sometimes, right? And thanks to Covid-19 that means most of us are heading online and using Amazon, but what are the Amazon alternatives?

If you’re looking for an alternative to Amazon then we’ve put together a list of our fave places for sustainable, organic and ethical products.

Check out our Amazon alternatives!

This one’s easy to do. You pay $5 a month and they provide you with access to thousands of organic products (that are also sustainable) and you save money when you compared to buying these things at retail.

Thrive Market is like Costco but for people who care about the planet.


Grove Collaborative | Household Products And Personal Care

Amazon Alternatives

You can hit up Grove Collaborative if you want ecologically sound products for your home that are also guaranteed to be cruelty free and nontoxic.

This is a subscription service but that allows them to offset their carbon footprint and you don’t have to subscribe, you can just pick products and order as you would on Amazon.


Made Trade

Bedding Made Easy

Whether it’s a pillow, a blanket, or a full set of bedding, Made Trade is a great place to pick up sustainably made products for your bedroom.

Everything’s made in the USA and they have a huge list of ethical credentials too.

They also donate one percent of their proceeds to other good causes! You can’t go wrong with that, right?


Credo | Beauty Products

Credo carries a bunch of our favorite natural and organic beauty products (you can check out some of the ones we really love at our recent article on cruelty-free makeup).

They make sure there are no dangerous or harmful ingredients in anything that they sell and thus, they make it easy to browse with confidence.

Highly recommended.
