Just popped in to check it out and got shampoo, conditioner, and dishwasher pods. They have free and good sized jars to use if you want to try it out. It’s definitely an adjustment but it’s been a goal of mine to use less plastic since Earth Day. Because I used the free jars, it costed less than I was expecting! Drove from Orem so it was a little bit of a jaunt, but I’m glad I got to come here. Wishing success upon this store and other stores like Hello!Bulk so that they can expand to other places :)

Awesome zero waste and bulk shop!! Lots of interesting products that I havent even seen at other zero waste shops Ive been to around the country. They even had plant based food wraps which Ive never seen, most food wraps are beeswax. There is kombucha on tap for the very affordable price of 20 cents an ounce. We got filled our 10 oz reusable coffee cup and it came out to $2. It was so tasty and locally made.There is a surprisingly large variety of locally made and vegan hygiene items like deodorant, lip tint, dry shampoo, etc. Also a whole wall of bulk cleaning items. Was so excited to find natural dishwasher pods at 25 cents a pod.Overall super cute spot and the woman helping us (presumably one of the owners) was so nice and friendly. Will definitely be back!Also they are starting a composting initiative where you can drop off your compost and it will be converted into energy!! So cool!!

Animalia is such a cute little shop! I love seeing all the goods from independent makers. And I particularly appreciate their bulk bar and focus on sustainable packaging. I also LOVE their food waste drop off. I live in an apartment that doesnt even offer recycling, let alone green waste collection. So I really appreciate that Animalia is making strides to reduce the amount of food going to landfill in our community by providing a drop-off service.

ANIMALIA has a great selection of low waste and bulk personal care items, functional art, and kombucha. They also have a curated vintage/thrift clothes area!

Love all the bulk options they have for personal care products, and a very cute selection of handmade jewelry and knick knacks! I also take advantage of their food waste drop off and would recommend it to everyone.

I LOVE this place and tell anyone about it who will listen. It’s a small shop that has made a big difference. This is where I refill my bottles with soaps etc. and every time I go in they have other products I haven’t seen before. Such a unique shop with so many useful products.

I am a little late in finding this store...but Im thrilled that I did! Really delightful to visit and browse. More importantly, you can get all your beauty products refilled here. They have bottles to purchase or you can bring your own clean bottles. I hope this store continues to grow and open more locations, the environment needs us to do this. Thank you, Animalia.

It’s inspiring to see a bulk refillable store in Utah. We didn’t need to refill anything but are planning on incorporating this into our grocery routine.

Review №13

I really adore this shop. I purchase my face lotion, body lotion, conditioner, and thrifted clothing from here. As someone who has rarely bought the same product twice (always a bit displeased and looking for things that actually help nurture my sensitive skin), I keep coming back to Animalia as my products run out. And that’s saying something. Added bonus is that I reduce plastic consumption, and the environment is warm and lovely.

Animalia makes shopping local and low waste super easy. I love being able to pick up my body care items and local vendor goods! I recommend this place to everyone, especially since shopping local and low waste is so much better for the planet and our economy. Visit Animalia and you wont regret it!

So in order to do-so, I will continue showing up to give them my business.Thanks Animalia for what you bring to Salt Lake!

Review №18

I always look forward going to Animalia to refill all my stuff (and dropping off food compost)! Their prices are very reasonable & their products are so eco-friendly & sustainable. They also help local artists thrive. Aaaaand so incredibly nice and pleasant. 10/10 - must visit this store! But also if you cant - their online ordering system is super efficient and prompt. And they wrap it all nice and avoid using plastic!

I’ve been eyeing Animalia since before I moved to the SLC area. Loved that they carried ceramics from Happy Hour, but more so love that they carry products with core values that you can trust, and feel good about supporting. Thank you to the Animalia team for thoughtfully selecting the products you offer, you’re making a difference. I’m really excited with the products I’ve purchased, and will save up my empties until next time!

Amazing little shop! Makes it easy to shop locally and sustainably. The owner is so sweet and employees are helpful and kind. If you’re worried it’s more expensive to buy by weight, the price is easily comparable to less earth friendly alternatives. Definitely swing by if you’re in the area, or add it as a permanent stop on your errands!

The most darling and thoughtful shop. Female owned, local art, environmentally conscious and cute as can be - everything you could ever want. Love their products and focus on the earth. Always leave with more goodies than I came for that I can feel good about.

Animalia is one of my FAVORITE local stores in SLC. It has a beautifully curated selection of goods, made by incredible artists. I am always surprised by the creativity and care that has gone into each and every item and always leave with something unexpected and joy-filled. I just ordered the most beautiful piece of pottery online! In addition, I use their bulk resupply for almost all of our household goods (hand soap, laundry detergent, cleaner, deodorant, etc.) It is wonderful to find a store that is so conscious about what it stocks and how it impacts the world around it. Couldnt recommend more!

Great place to zero waste. I love the philosophy behind this establishment and the idea of refilling and eliminating waste as much as possible is something I can get behind. Highly recommend. By the way, they have the unique things in this store, you are sure to find something youll love.

I absolutely love this shop! This shop was my gateway to more sustainable living. The world is filled with so much plastic, and while we can’t always avoid it, why unnecessarily add more?The owner of this shop is a sweetheart, and her mother and employees that she has working occasionally are just as wonderful!

Abbey was so helpful in suggesting a good vegan deodorant for my sensitive skin, the bulk items were so affordable and felt so good leaving without a bunch of trash that would end up in the landfills. 10/10 go in

I have been getting my bulk items from Animalia since they opened and don’t plan on stopping! I’ve always been really impressed with how nice the owner is, how educated her & her staff are on sustainable products and how she supports local artists. I think Animalia’s pricing is super fair for the quality of products available. Also, during these crazy times of a pandemic she has created a safe and clean environment (yay for curbside pickup) so I can continue to get the items I need and still adhere to social distancing. Animalia has also introduced me to some of my favorite products that I will use forever (shoutout to Gara & organicup). Thanks for being awesome!

Review №35

Abbey is the kindest and genuinely cares about the customers coming in, as well as the products that she carries in her store. She can tell you the story behind each product, which goes to show how much time and effort she puts into providing the highest quality products that are cruelty-free, ethical, and kind to the environment. There is a great selection for bulk refills (hand soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, and so much more!), and tons of other single-use alternatives. I have also found many gifts for friends/family here. Every person whos received an Animalia gift has absolutely loved it. My favorite store in SLC by far!

Review №36

Love the store and products offered. My only problem is the fact that if you write an honest review the owner will take your review and put it on blast through her business IG. Thats very unprofessional and everyone has a right to voice out what they dislike. Isnt that kind of what your store is doing?! Calling out big companies and trying to make an impact on producing less waste?

Review №37

Wish I lived next door to this shop so I could visit every day!! Animalia sells wonderfully unique, handmade, and earth-friendly products of all kinds, from house wares and cleaning supplies, to vintage clothing and artisan jewelry, to beauty products and self-care goods. This shop is a GO-TO for all your gifting and personal pampering needs. AND THE BEST PART IS all your purchases are guilt-free as everything is sustainably sourced, non-toxic, cruelty free, and/or made by local *real* artists! A visit to Animalia is the perfect way to start/continue shopping *kindly.*

This is my favorite place to shop! I love the wholesome, natural, clean and cruelty free ingredients for the bulk refills and the prices are very comparable to anything else you would buy. I love not contributing to more waste in the world, supporting real local artists and feeling good about the impact of my purchases. I love the lavendar bulk deoderant (more pricey but also non toxic and plastic free so totally worth it- feels and smells amazing!), Household cleaner, dish detergent and pods, and I cant wait to try more of the great products offered!

Review №44

They do have a great selection on bulk products and I really loved and enjoyed the shop until I went to Hello Bulk Markets (also in slc) and their prices were way more fair for the same things. I think that Animalia is taking advantage of people. I got a dryer ball from the other store for $4 and animalia was selling the same exact ones for $14. I appreciate this stores goals and values which is why they got a 3, the price is what I didn’t like.

Review №59

This shop is AWESOME for those of us environmentally-minded folks living that low-impact lifestyle! This is a really excellent spot to shop for high-quality gifts, for anyone but especially for the eco-queen in your life. Animalia has a nice range of bulk style fill-your-own soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, etc. as well as some compostable packaged cosmetics. They have glass bottles for purchase there or you can bring your own containers to fill. The housewares are really tastefully curated from a range of domestic small businesses and makers (I think some of whom are local to Utah?). The owner is so sweet and even has a super friendly shop dog!! The passion in this place is palpable. Animalia is a *much needed* installment to the SLC area! 💚♻️✌️
