Take a look at your surroundings, how many of the items in your bathroom, laundry room, kitchen etc. are made out of plastic and are polluting the environment either via their production, use or disposal? Not to mention the amount of chemicals these products might have, leading to all sorts of illness for you, for baby and the entire family!
Keeping these things in mind, ecostore, a New Zealand-born brand started producing safer yet effective products to care for your family’s home and health – made with respect for the environment. Some of their products include household cleaners, laundry, body care, skincare, baby care and oral care products that are all cruelty free, and made from naturally derived ingredients, selected because they are safer and more sustainable.
The best thing about ecostore is that they’ve been founded by true believers of protecting the environment. Malcolm and Melanie Rands founded ecostore on New Zealand’s Northland coast in 1993 with the aim to put people’s health first and give them the choice to live clean. The Rands then passed the baton to the Kraus family in 2013 where they continue to develop, manufacture and pack their products at their own carboNZero certified factory in Auckland.

How ecostore’s household cleaners, laundry, body care, skincare, baby care and oral care products can benefit you, your babies and the entire family.
Since ecostore began, they’ve had thousands of customers tell them that after using their products their eczema has cleared up, their asthma is getting better, they don’t sneeze when they’re cleaning their home anymore, or that their skin rash has gone.
That’s because they only use carefully selected gentle plant and mineral-based ingredients that let you and your family leave nasty chemicals out of your home. They’re also one of the few companies that lists what’s in, (and not in) every one of their products, so you can make informed decisions about the everyday products that you choose for your family and your home.

Switching to Sugar Plastic
On top of that, in 2014, ecostore found a packaging alternative that is safer for our planet- sugar plastic!
Sugar plastic is made from sugarcane, a renewable source that also removes carbon from our atmosphere. Sugarcane husks even generate bio-electricity in the factory that makes the sugar plastic, making the production process even more sustainable.
Sugar plastic is made from sugarcane, a renewable source that also removes carbon from our atmosphere.
Since moving to sugar plastic in 2014, they’ve saved 7,676 tonnes (1) (and counting) of carbon from being released into the air, which is a big deal for our environment and our future.
Why Does it Matter?
By removing harmful or unnecessary chemicals in your everyday household cleaners, laundry, body care, skincare, baby care and oral care products, ecostore provides a healthier and safer alternative for you, your baby and the entire family while also being less harmful to our earth and mother nature.

‘’It was in ecostore that I felt easiest and stress free in choosing the products that I would want Zab to try, and ever since I’ve been using their products, I had no regrets. For instance, their conditioner is perfect for my daughter’s super curly hair. I have been trying other organic and baby-safe conditioner for Zab’s hair, and nothing has been doing its job until I discovered ecostore. Plus, I don’t have to worry about greasy hair anymore because since Zab started using it, there hasn’t been any greasy hair day for her anymore. What a relief, don’t you think?” – Rica, mum of Zab
