Our Story

Hi Folks! I am Thendral from Tamil Nadu! Mom of two girls, I had been a working mom juggling corporate career and family happily till a year back.

For a decade now, my family has been practicing zero waste lifestyle – to start with – for obvious health reasons. We prepared our essentials with locally procured raw materials, reduced consumption of packaged food items with preservatives and cut back on chemical filled personal care items. Once we had our daughter, this only made more sense!

The transformation has been a slow one with small switches a time in consumption pattern. Overall, this gave us a wholesome lifestyle experience! This also made us realize, to cut down toxins and waste in life, we always need to go an extra mile since good alternatives aren’t readily available at the stretch of hand. So , in 2020, we started working on this social venture to try make sustainable living easy!

Kamarkattu Ecostore is a social enterprise based out of Tamil Nadu, India. We sell over 200 products curated with the idea of making low waste life easy and affordable in this fast-paced lifestyle. We make toxic free essentials right from handmade bath soaps, natural shampoo bars, laundry, dish wash products made using herbs, flowers, cold pressed oils, essential oils, clays and natural colorants. Our products are backed by ancient wisdom and tradition blended with today’s requirement of comfortable usage. We also sell sustainable alternatives to daily use plastic like bamboo tooth brush, coir utensil brush, stainless straw etc. We, as a team, get anxious looking at all the waste created around in the name of consumption. So, we pack and deliver all our products without any plastic in packaging and shipping. Everything in our value chain right from sourcing the raw ingredients are all done with the idea that none of our products should remain as trash in our body as a toxic residue or on Earth as a landfill. Come, Let’s bring a happy and positive change together!
