About us

Established in 2009, Ecossentials has been an ongoing eco market store serving the community of Powell River, B.C., Canada for many years.

We take pride in our organic, ethical, fair trade and sustainably sourced products varying from bulk foods, herbs and spices, to clothing and toys to natural cleaners.  

With this in mind, we do our best to reduce as much packaging as we can by having you as customers bring in your own containers to make for perfect reusable packing material. In store, you simply tare, fill, label, weigh then pay with any product from our varied bulk and soaps section! It's the best way for you to buy organic food and environmentally friendly products for you, your family and your home.

 In addition to our own little shop, Ecossentials Local Market is neighbours with and also houses several other local businesses including:

  •  Wild Scoop Ice Cream. Downstairs is an in-house artisanal Ice Cream shop with homemade waffle cones and a variety of dairy, plus non-dairy flavours! www.wildscoop.ca

  • 32 Lakes Café and Bakery. Where quality, creation, and community meet. Open Tuesday-Saturday, 7:30am-5:00pm. www.32lakescafeandbakery.com

  • Wild Spirit Apothecary, Wild Spirit Apothecary opened in 2018 and continues to provide the local community, and the interweb of humans, with plant-based medicine and botanical beauty care products. www.wildspiritapothecary.ca

  • Brands we procure and love: Routine Cream, Anian, Onyx, Moka Imports Bolga Baskets, Essential Toothpaste Tabs, and many more.

You can have a bite to eat, grab your bulk food and an ice cream all in one go! It makes for the perfect locally sourced market for our community.  

Our Market is located right on the corner of Marine Ave and Alberni Street, in the heart of Powell Rivers finest commercial center.

We are proud to be your local eco-market and refillery store!
