Another great find at Ecotopia Naturals in Sidney. Miiko Skin products are refillable, yes!  They are also 100% Fair-Trade, Non-Toxic, Cruelty free and Gluten Free and made locally.  What could be better.  The 4 oz bottle is $27 and to refill the bottle is $24.  All Miiko products are $3 less to refill the bottle.  You must use the same bottle and it needs to be cleaned before refill, except for serums.  
There are quite a few skin care products including sunscreen - the link will take you to the Ecotopia product page.  

I was using a bar soap, but this is just so much nicer for the face.  And they are in glass dispensers.

Well, I finally took the plunge and changed from Brita to Soma. What was the big deciding factor? Well, there were two!
1. My old Brita was not BPA free
2. No one wanted to recycle my Brita filter, so...

When I went looking for something new, I found Soma, with compostable filters that last 2 months. BPA free and a cool design with excellent taste ratings were sellers for me. Unfortunately www.drinksoma.com does not ship to Canada so you can not get regular filter shipments for free, so thank you Amazon.ca, I purchased the 6 cup size as my fridge always seems to full and it did come with a filter. I wasn’t sure, so I purchased an additional 2 pack, so I’m set for a while! Very happy with the look, the floating fill hole and great tasting water. 👍👍
