Oz Green Oasis is an online store with an impressive eco vetting process

When shopping for vegan and environmentally friendly products, there are always hurdles to face to ensure you are getting genuinely conscious products. Greenwashing, fact-checking, and trust just to name a few. With everyone claiming to be eco-conscious, it can be tough to cut through all the green talking to find reputable brands that put their money where their mouth is.

This is why we are thrilled to be reviewing this Australian business Oz Green Oasis, who not only stock an amazing selection of products but lives its ethos in everything they do.

Founded by Shelby Clark, Oz Green Oasis aims to make shopping for sustainable products easy, affordable, and most importantly validated and verified to have proven performance. Oz Green Oasis do this by ensuring any product they stock has had a minimum of 50 customer reviews with a minimum of 4 stars or higher! This is done by her and her team to ensure only the best are offered to you in the form of Australia’s top ethical products.

For us, the appeal of the site is that all products have plant-based formulas and are 100% cruelty-free. Whilst some are not 100% vegan, the vegan range is extensive and you can shop vegan specifically here!

Commitment to sustainability

Whilst many stores and brands have sustainability as part of their brand message, what we found was exceptional about Oz Green Oasis was that they extend their sustainability not just to their business but even to the third-party providers they use.

This includes their postal services, their bank and even using public transport over car transport! We thought this was very impressive indeed.

Take a look below at the ways they are living their eco values.

• Oz Green Oasis is committed to carbon-neutral deliveries today and is working towards net zero by 2030.
• They ship with earth-friendly compostable or recyclable materials to keep your sustainable products in tip-top shape- NO plastic packaging or bubble wrap! The Australian Post paper boxes, kraft paper and kraft paper tape can be put in the kerbside recycle bin. The Sendle satchels and cornstarch packing peanuts can be put in the home compost or garden.
• They are car-free and use only public transport.
• They use B-Corp Certified Sendle or Australia Post, depending on where you live, and all our deliveries are 100% carbon offset.
• They source their energy from Powershop, Australia’s only power retailer to be certified as 100% carbon neutral.
• They use B-Corp Certified Bank Australia, the first Australian bank to join the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV), carbon neutral since 2011 and certified by the Australian Government’s Climate Active program.
• They go above and beyond to source the most sustainable products for you, including organic, plastic-free, and vegan.
