I’ve written a lot of big, long, detailed product reviews, so consider this page the TL;DR. Here, you’ll find my top recommendations + discount codes all in one place. I try to keep this list up-to-date as I find new products and companies worth sharing.
This post contains affiliate links; see my privacy policy for details.
In addition to creating great products, many of these companies are B-Corps, third-party certified as carbon-neutral, or have other strong sustainability credentials.
(For my favorite travel companies, booking sites and travel discounts see this page.)
Discount Codes:
Note: Most of these are also affiliate links – meaning if you click through them to make an order, or in some cases if you use my discount code, you save money and I earn a commission. If you’re planning to order from these brands, clicking through my links first does a lot to support my work on this site – thank you!

Plastic-Free Personal Care Brands
(For details, see these reviews: Lots of shampoo bars, my favorite shampoo bars, toothpaste tablets, cleaning products, deodorants, and my entire less-waste toiletry routine.)
Refillable Skincare:

Activist Skincare’s 100% refillable products have become my favorites! They make complete, vegan formulas, with refills that reduce CO2 emissions by 99%. Best of all? You can try the entire line with a refillable (travel-sized) trial kit, instead of committing to full-sized products.
[See my full review of Activist here.]
Save 50% on the Activist Skincare trial kit with the discount code TILTEDMAP50

With refills in cardboard, Dew Mighty is the only brand I’ve found that matches all of Activist Skincare’s sustainability standards. They only make two products so far – a cleanser & a solid serum – and I use and love both. (You can also try minis of both.)
[More in my review of plastic-free face washes.)
Save 10% on your 1st Dew Mighty purchase with the code TILTEDMAP.
byHumankind is a leader in refillable, plastic-free toiletries, and a carbon-neutral company. I’ve tried most of their products, but the ones I continue to use and recommend – after years of use – are their refillable floss, and refillable hand sanitizer.
[These are part of my full plastic-free toiletry routine.]
Personal Care Basics:

After testing several brands, Bite remains my favorite plastic-free toothpaste in tablet form. (And my dentist literally approved, too.) Check out my detailed review of Bite toothpaste tablet (and other brands).
You can use the code TILTEDMAP10 to save 10% at Bite (and at Nelson Naturals, which was a close second.)

If you’ve tried other shampoo & conditioner bars and never quite liked them, TRY THESE BEFORE GIVING UP! The Earthling Co. has won me over – and won over more of my friends than all the other bars I made them try.
Save 15% at The Earthling Co. through any link on my site! (No code needed.)
Reusable Products:

LastObject designs simple, reusable replacements for throw-away items. I use their easy-to-clean replacements for Q-Tips, cotton balls, and Kleenex packs – all of which I reviewed in detail in this post.
Use the code TILTEDMAP10 for 10% off any LastObject order!
Plastic-free Vitamins:
I’ve spent a long time looking for vitamin for vegans that don’t come in plastic. (I’m not 100% vegan, but as an only occasional meat-eater who’s trying to minimize her animal product consumption, my doctor says I should take vitamins D and B-12). TerraSeed makes the most complete formula I’ve found, with certainly the best packaging – NO MORE PLASTIC VITAMIN BOTTLES!
Save 50% off your first order from TerraSeed with the discount code KETTI50
Plastic-Free Cleaning Products
For details, check out my full review of sustainable laundry and cleaning products. These are my favorites:
I use Dropps‘ low-waste dishwasher and fabric softener pods. (They also have great detergents, lots of scents and lots of varieties, all in plastic-free packaging.)
Use this link and the code TILTED25 for 25% off your first order. Use TILTED15 for 15% off future orders.
Cleancult makes a few sustainable cleaning products I really like: Their super lathery bar soap and wool dryer balls are excellent. (But I don’t love their Tetrapak packaging for others.)
Get 20% off any Cleancult order with the discount code TILTEDMAP20)

TruEarth laundry strips are one of the simplest plastic-free swaps I’ve found. You get a whole jug’s worth of laundry detergent in an envelope. They WORK, they’re great for travel, and they ship anywhere for free.
Save 10% at TruEarth with the code TEmap10 . (You can also order in bulk, share with a friend & save almost 30%.)
Sustainable Online Shopping Options:
Bookshop – Independent Online Book Shopping
I shop on Amazon sometimes, too, and I include Amazon affiliate links on this website because I know sometimes people are just going to go there anyway. But whenever possible, I also link to a small-business alternative to Amazon – and this is one of my favorites!
Bookshop is a certified B-Corp and at least 10% of every purchase goes into a pot, which is divided equally among indie book stores that are members.
It’s the best of both worlds: You get the convenience of ordering books online, while still helping to support local, independent book stores.
You can search for books above, or check out the Tilted Map storefront on Bookshop, which has all of the food and travel books I’ve mentioned on the blog together in one place.
Earth Hero – Lots of Sustainable Brands

There are lots of online marketplaces for eco-friendly products, but I think Earth Hero has the best sustainability credentials: They’re carbon-neutral, a B-Corp and a member of 1% For The Planet. (Excellent certifications that I always look for in sustainable companies.)
For any kind of sustainable products – toiletries, yoga pants, tech, you name it – this Colorado-based start-up is my favorite place to shop.
Save 10% on any Earth Hero order with the discount code TILTEDMAP10 !
Novica – Fair Trade & Sustainable Artisan Gifts
In the interest of consuming and accumulating less stuff, I’ve mostly stopped gifting anything that’s not edible (which, from me, usually means homemade limoncello). But when I occasionally feel the need to give something, Novica is a great source for artisan-made, Fair Trade items. (They have everything: Handmade cloth face masks, jewelry, scarves, art, seasonal decorations, natural beauty products… You know, good gift-y stuff.)
Pela – Compostable Phone Cases & Glasses
Pela Case makes compostable phone cases – they’ll break down into nothing but dirt within a year – and Pela Vision makes sunglasses that do the same! (They have a quick explanation of the difference between “compostable” and “biodegradable.”)
Pela is another B-Corp (like Bookshop, Earth Hero and Intrepid Travel, above), plus they’re certified by Climate Neutral, and they’re a member of 1% For The Planet – all of which are meaningful badges that I always look for!

More about the Affiliate Links on this page:
Some of the links on this page (but not all of them) are “affiliate links,” which means if you make a purchase after clicking them, I’ll earn a commission on the sale. This is at no extra cost to you, of course, and some of my links even get you a discount.
Others are “referral links.” These are like affiliate links, except that instead of earning a commission, I earn some kind of credit with the company (which I use to buy more of their product). So I wouldn’t be using these if I didn’t use and love these products!
And some of these links don’t get me anything at all, but I love them anyway so I want you to know about them.
I’ve chatted with so many friends (of all ages) who have no idea these links exist – which is reasonable if you don’t work in blogging or online marketing. But they’re ubiquitous all over the internet. They’re a huge part of what keeps most blogs and websites funded (including major, famous ones like Wirecutter, which is owned by the New York Times). So affiliate links are a perfectly legitimate part of online business and media, I just think everyone should know about them, just to be aware. Plus, any website that doesn’t announce their affiliate links is not only in violation of lots of laws, but is probably trying to scam you.
If you have any questions about affiliates or how any of this works, feel free to reach out! I’m happy to discuss. (Or read through my Privacy Policy… but that will be less fun.)
