Organic Brands and Sellers in the Philippines



After I gave birth, I decided to go organic. There are many reasons why I chose this path, and one of them is to keep my family healthy and safe. I enjoy shopping for organic products, especially for my baby. However, I do it online since our province does not have a store that offers pure organic products—hopefully soon! Because of my obsession with organic items, I’ve listed the stores and companies offering natural products in the Philippines.

Human Heart Nature - A friend who is a dealer asked me to like her Facebook page, and I decided to check if they have baby products. I was impressed by the positive reviews from their customers. HHN has affordable products and an easy-to-navigate website. I haven’t tried their products yet since I just ordered from my friend. They have a huge variety of products at prices that every mom will love. HHN offers products for babies, women, and men.

Tiny Buds - I discovered this brand when I was pregnant. I used their rice baby powder, and it was awesome! I actually bought it for my baby, but since I sweat a lot during my pregnancy, I used it myself, and it worked wonders. It keeps me dry and fresh. This powder is biodegradable and hypoallergenic, completely free from harmful talc and other chemicals. It keeps the baby’s skin healthy, fresh, moisturized, and dry from perspiration. Aside from this, I also tried their Tiny Buds Baby Bottle & Utensil Wash, which is made from mild natural cleaners. It is safe for babies since it is made from 100% food-safe fruit extracts. It easily gets rid of bacteria and foul odors from leftover formula. Since my baby frequently gets insect bites, I used the Tiny Buds Scratch Off Natural Soothing Cool Gel, which is specially formulated with natural ingredients to help soothe common skin discomfort like itching, swelling, and redness from insect bites and other minor skin irritations for children and adults.

Milea Organics - I haven't tried their products yet, but they have tons of positive reviews as well. They offer products for babies, women, and men, and they also sell organic honey in different flavors, which I would love to try.

GIGA Ventures - One of the most well-known sellers of natural beauty products, I’ve heard a lot about their Giga Shampoo Bar, with many customers reporting miraculous results. I will add this item to my grocery list for product review. They have many outlets in Manila; unfortunately, here in Albay, we don’t have a branch, so I have to purchase online.

Messy Bessy - Known for their natural household cleaning products, I haven’t tried their products yet, but I definitely want to purchase some to see if they are effective. I also love their vintage-like packaging; it’s so cute! However, their products are pricey (oops!). But if you mommies are interested, you can always check out their website.

Zenutrients - This family-owned business offers various types of organic products. They have different branches in Manila and provide everything you need from head to toe and more! Their all-natural and organic shampoos, soaps, lotions, scrubs, butters, and other products are made from the best that nature has to offer, all handmade and bottled for you.

Leyende - From the Spanish word "leyenda," meaning “legend” or “story,” Leyende is an emerging Filipino brand of handmade, natural, and organic bath and body products, following eco-friendly artisanal principles. (Source: FB Leyende Page)

Indigo Baby - A one-stop shop baby store, their mission is to promote attachment parenting—breastfeeding, co-sleeping, babywearing, and using all-natural products for moms, dads, and babies! (Source: Indigo Baby FB page)

Sensou Nature Source - This shop sells almost all the products from the brands listed here. In 2007, a group of friends began to individually discover how not just their lifestyle but also the products they chose to use could affect the well-being of both their families and the world outside. In their search for cleaner alternatives, they realized they had to go all over Greater Manila to maintain this renewed lifestyle. These friends agreed on the irony: buying green also meant buying more gas! (Source: Sesou Nature Source FB Page)

Ilog Maria - One of my favorite organic sellers, they offer affordable organic products from their honeybee farm. I would also love to try their products.

That's it! So far, this is my compiled list of organic product sellers in the Philippines. I will update this post to add more brands and sellers. Ciao!
