Join us THIS SATURDAY as part of Big Green Festival.

We are offering a £1.00 FLAT WHITE this Saturday 8:30am-12:00pm (13th June) to customers who bring in their own REUSABLE COFFEE CUP.

One of our big passions here The Refill Barn is to reduce waste and a very big part of that is saying NO to disposable take away coffee cups...

Did you know, approximately 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups are used in the UK each year. This translates to approximately 7 million cups being discarded every single day. That’s enough to wrap around the Earth 5.5 times!

I don’t think it’s unrealistic to say that many daily coffee drinkers already own a reusable cup, so really we are trying to reinforce a change in habit in our community.

So bring your reusable cups!

RESTOCK of natural deodorant balms…
 
Whatever deodorant you buy…
PLEASE STOP using aerosols!
❌ Evidence (widely available) shows that aerosol deodorants/antiperspirants can be particularly harmful because of the fine airborne particles that can be breathed in during use
❌ Small print on the cans (and in the safety sheets) suggest that users open a window when using aerosols to avoid breathing in the particles…
❌ Overuse/misuse of aerosols can lead to inhalation of chemicals. Negative effects are clearly visible in their material safety sheets.
 
✅ NATURAL DEODORANT CO BALMS

WHY we are HUGE fans of the balms:

⭐️ 100% natural & packed with plant-based, skin-loving ingredients. Aluminium salt free!

🐰 Cruelty free “Leaping Bunny” certified. Committed to the complete ending animal testing

⭐️ Plastic free

⭐️ 24 hour protection – Effective all-day odour protection from just one application

⭐️ They’re a local business based down the road in Braintree!

⭐️ are proud supporters of the breast cancer awareness charity ! The partnership was created to raise awareness about how important it is to get to know your body better, to encourage and empower all people to detect breast cancer early. Using balm is a fantastic way to check your pits on a daily basis for lumps & bumps!

We’ve been using their Grapefruit & Mint deodorant for years now and love the scent…we also love that it stopped yellow pit stains from sweat reacting with aluminium salts in our old deodorant!

Excitingly we now have a huge range of different scents to suit your taste, so come and check them out…

✨ Clean Range
Grapefruit + Mint
Palmarosa + Mandarin
Deodorant for Men
 
✨ Gentle Range
Tangerine
Lavender
Coconut + Shea
 
✨ Active Range
Lemon + Geranium
Orange + Bergamot
Coriander + Lime
Mint + Eucalyptus
 
✨ Teen Range

It’s maternal mental health week…

So what better a time to reintroduce myself…I’m Melissa (aka Melissa from The Refill Barn).

One of the most wonderful things for me since starting The Refill Barn, has been the amazing friendships we’ve made within our community. We have been through highs and lows with many of you, and we are honoured to have shared so many laughs and some tears. You are all amazing and we are so grateful for you coming into our lives.

Looking (a long way) back at the root of what moved me to starting the shop was a break down after my first pregnancy. I vividly remember going to see a therapist who told me that I’d somehow harnessed a postnatal depression to very real fears about the environment and climate crisis. Eventually I was able to move forward by making changes in my life in a way that made me feel I was in some way making a difference in the world.

I count myself extremely lucky to have come through it and have really ever since used my anxiety to force a change in my life which turned out to be incredibly positive.

To all the mums out there struggling - you are not alone, talk to friends, families, medical professionals but please don’t suffer in silence 💙

CLOSED FOR THE DAY - FRIDAY 8TH MAY

Quick reminder…

We have a lot of builder movement going on tomorrow during the day so we took the decision from a Health & Safety 👷‍♀️👷 point of view that it is safer not to have people coming on site for the day and close for the day.

We will be back open as usual on Saturday morning 8.30am - 12noon.

It’s all coming together 😅 thank you so much for all your patience - we look forward to seeing lots of you on Saturday
