Little Salmon is a wonderful shop with unique and useful products. What they sell makes it easier for a regular person to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. They are well priced and keep a good selection. I've been using the If You Care dishwasher pods and HiBar shampoo and conditioner for over a year, and am glad I made the switch to plastic-free packaging! read more

RUN - don't walk - to Little Salmon located in the Elmwood Village. This is the go to spot for all things sustainability. They offer products that are made from ethical and renewable sources and have changed my life; I want work towards creating zero-waste. I wanted to purchase quite a few items but: #onabudget and I was also traveling and had to ensure everything I did buy could fit into my suitcase. SO, I opted for some reusable/washable "paper" towels, an eco dryer ball from friendsheep, and the very wonderful Poppy & Pout Island Coconut lip balm. I know Little Salmon offers free delivery within a 10-mile radius of their shop in the Elmwood Village and that I can also purchase online but they've inspired me to find a sustainable/zero waste store in Los Angeles and I cannot wait to continue to work towards an incredible lifestyle. Thank you, Little Salmon, for your incredible mission and all that you do! read more

Little Salmon - Love my new eco dryer ball! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I love the concept of Little Salmon as they have a great variety of eco friendly products for basically everything. Don't forget your reusable bag and refillable jars when you come here! We came back to get coconut scrubbers (for scrubbing dishes, they work great), but I also found razor blades at a great price and toothpaste tablets in a sample pack (40 cents). I was so happy about this because I always wanted to try these! There's also an in-store recycling program with TerraCycle, so bring back your empty toothpaste tubes, razors, stasher bags and baby clothes to recycle. read more

What an amazing shop that makes you want to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. I stopped in here on a Friday after work before they closed to attend a Yelp event. The owner was friendly and explained the process to me. I ended up purchasing a tongue scraper, which I've been wanting to do for a while. I waited to get it from Little Salmon because I try to buy local when I can. I also bought some sunscreen, which I'm excited to see how it is, when Buffalo gets some sun in its life. I also got a 4 tablet pack of the toothpaste tablets. I tried them and love them. I need to go back to this shop ASAP to refill my hand soap containers, dish soap and get more toothpaste tablets. Not only are the tablets great for home use, but I'm thinking when traveling, they will save on space and are TSA friendly. read more

Buffalo's first zero waste shop is here and they start their journey in what was the Lexington Co-op way back when! After catching my eye when walking my dogs, I looked up Little Salmon and saw that they are a zero waste business that sells bath and body care, dish and laundry detergents, reusable bags and baskets and much more. A while ago a friend and I talked about trying toothpaste tablets. Opposed to having and using traditional toothpaste which is wasteful and leaves behind a non recyclable container. Not wanting to commit to ordering online I found the tablets here along with a bamboo toothbrush (compostable and silk dental floss. The floss is sold in a tin that is refillable with spindles which come in silk or bamboo fiber with charcoal. Additionally I finally found a white sage bundle for my cleansing needs and I'm going to give the reusable towels a try. Apparently they are to be treated like paper towels but can be rinsed/washed and reused before being finally composted. I hope to kick off a more eco-friendly, sustainable lifestyle through Little Salmon and oh, be sure to check out the refill station where glass and aluminum bottles (also for sale) can be filled with a variety of detergents. read more

Love this place, great place for earth friendly, everyday necessities. Woman owned as well, YUP, woman owned.

Little salmon is my favorite place in Buffalo. Every time I come back they have new products too which is awesome. They carry Who Gives A Crap toilet paper which is hands down the best toilet paper and the only kind my husband will let me buy the owner is so nice too and is often there when I stop in. It's so nice to see this place gaining more traction finally because they deserve it. The prices are very fair the duality of products they're offering too. Make sure to bring your own containers to fill up (I ALWAYS forget ) but they do offer free jars to use and you can fill up their products if you're buying them. read more

Finally made it to this beautiful shop! I have had my eye on it since seeing David C's first review. This is Buffalo's first zero waste shop and it is filled with all sorts of hacks to help you help the environment - from biodegradable garbage bags, to refillable soap stations, bamboo toilet paper, stainless steel straws, dryer balls, and so much more! Plus fun stuff like sage, incense holders, jewelry, soy candles, and much more. I got the sage and palo santo bundle with lavender sprigs and used it to freshen up the energy in my house! Sage first to get rid of the negative, palo santo stick second to invite the positive back in. Woman-owned, and mama-owned. My heart has a soft spot from moms of young children who are making waves like Tracey. I asked her if she uses the biodegradable garbage bags and she said "no", and I realized after it's because there is no waste in her house! Amazing. #Goals Highly recommend you check this place out if you are looking for the next small step you can take to help the world. Tracey is happy to answer any questions without judgement. Located across from The Place and next to Kunis. read more

New cool biz alert off of Elmwood Ave on Lexington Ave! The Little Salmon is unique shop that offers sustainable options .. for example I bought a small peppermint anti bacterial spray and instead of buying another when I run out it is a reusable bottle. I bought a bigger refill bottle to refill it multiple times. My husband and I both bought stainless steel razors and it is by far the best razor I've ever owned. The make up lines and skin care lines are clean yet reasonable. I love the "Up Circle" skin care line - especially for the colder months when your skin could use more moisture. The Little Salmon also offers shampoo & conditioner refill stations, cool gift options such as candles, drink tumblers, soap, lip balm, etc. The owner Tracy is very informative, friendly, and helpful!! My husband and I have been back multiple times in two months and have purchased items were satisfied with. Check out - Little Salmon on Lexington across from The Place!! read more

So I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been so curious and confused about this store for a long time. Why? Because my hair salon is a couple of doors down so I walk past it every month and think to myself " what a tidy , lovely place. I wonder what it is?" It's fantastic is what it is. You can shop there completely guilt free because that's what the Little Salmon's Specialialty is. Completely waste free products. It's a wonder for your eyes and imagination from front to back. And I found myself saying " oh my gosh what a great idea " constantly. I also walked out with a bag full of completely sustainable, refillable, some are even locally created items amongst other adjectives. I finally got brushes to clean my metal straws. Spray anti frizz moisturizing hair oil. Bar hair shampoo Bar hair conditioner ( for dry hair) Essential oils We also bought Dryer balls and " I'm burned out" candles. Sage smudge bundles with lavender and palo santo. Also pine smudge bundles. But there were so many things that make life waste free. Soap bags and soaps, lunch boxes and reusable packable utensils, laundry detergent and body wash. You will have a fabulous time there and the staff is just a joy!! So by it's got great gift ideas as well. read more

Absolutely amazing store. The concept is incredible. The owner, Tracey, is so well educated and willing to answer all your questions and offer suggestions to live a more sustainable life. read more

Great little store, and super useful for refills and other low waste/sustainable options for your home! The only thing I didn't appreciate was when I approached the counter to check out and the owner completely ignored me and sat on her phone (I'm aware she was likely managing store things via her device but it just wasn't a good look). I wasn't helped until the other lady that works there came to check me out. She was super helpful and nice! I'd like to give it a lower rating because of the rudeness of the owner but given the other great things about the store, I just couldn't. read more
