In the heart of Rochester, New Hampshire, Rayne Refillery champions a greener lifestyle by inviting locals to refill household goods rather than purchase new ones.

This mother-daughter venture, led by Ronnie and Gracie Hanson, encourages customers to bring reusable containers for eco-friendly products like hand soap, shampoo, and cleaning solutions.

Everything offered is plant-based and cruelty-free, making each visit both sustainable and affordable.

Since expanding to 14 North Main Street in August 2023, Rayne Refillery has become a staple for the city’s growing green community.

Transparency is at the core, with clearly listed ingredients and refill pricing that empower shoppers to make informed, waste-reducing choices.

With strong local support and a friendly, welcoming vibe, this shop inspires Rochester residents to rethink waste and embrace a sustainable future. Website: https://raynerefillery.com
