New Zealand’s ecoman, Malcolm Rands (www.ecostore.co.nz), has been researching and discovering the benefits of using plant-based cleaning solutions, soaps and shampoos for more than 20 years and turned his experience living in an eco village into products that everyone can use.

Products are available online now and will be in U.S. stores in early spring. I am looking forward to trying their household line since this is my newest venture into green this year! Will keep you posted!

About EcoStore
ecostore loves making a difference in people’s lives. We are passionate about improving the planet and have spent more than 15 years bringing you everyday household products that are safer and healthier for you and your family. We love hearing from people whose eczema or allergy symptoms have improved or sometimes disappeared all together just by switching to ecostore. And the wonderful news is… we don’t compromise on performance either. Our plant based cleaning products are just as effective as the leading supermarket brands and our body and baby care ranges are gentle on your skin and are simply beautiful to use.

We are a leading New Zealand manufacturer wholesale distributor and retailer of sustainable household and personal care products. We promote the use of safer, healthier alternatives to conventional everyday products.

Better for the earth and better for your health
The guiding principle of formulations is that the end product must not only be good for the planet, but must also be good for the user. Individual health issues are at the forefront of product development.

A different approach to business
ecostore was founded in 1993 by Malcolm and Melanie Rands from their home in an eco village in New Zealand. Their dream was ambitious - to create a healthier more sustainable world.

One of the ways they saw to do this was to set up a business providing everyday household products that could help people be healthier and ‘green up’ at home.

The second way was by setting up the Fairground Foundation. Fairground is a charitable organization that is funded by ecostore profits to promote sustainability through ‘on-the-ground’ action.

Where we are at now
Fifteen years on we have our own research and development facility and our products are made in our own ‘certified sustainable’ factory. In 2003 we launched our cleaning range into supermarkets nationwide and we are currently exporting to several countries overseas including the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.
