Absolutely — for a small retail assortment, I’d look for vendors that combine clean ingredients, strong branding, dependable wholesale terms, and reasonable MOQs. Below are solid eco-friendly dish soap and hand soap vendors to consider for a low-toxicity home essentials lineup.

Good vendor options

1) Blueland

  • Best for: refillable, low-waste dish soap + hand soap
  • Why it fits: strong eco positioning, recognizable brand, attractive retail packaging, refill system appeals to low-tox buyers
  • Notes: often more premium priced; best if your customers like modern, design-forward eco goods

2) Branch Basics

  • Best for: low-tox cleaning/home essentials, including concentrated soaps
  • Why it fits: very aligned with non-toxic living; trusted by health-conscious shoppers
  • Notes: stronger in “clean living” audiences than mainstream eco shoppers

3) Dr. Bronner’s

  • Best for: hand soap and castile-based multi-use soap
  • Why it fits: iconic natural brand, broad customer recognition, strong ethical/sustainable reputation
  • Notes: less “boutique” looking, but extremely reliable for retail

4) ECOS

  • Best for: affordable eco-friendly dish and hand soap
  • Why it fits: accessible price point, widely recognized eco brand, good for value-conscious customers
  • Notes: a good anchor brand for a store that wants approachable low-tox basics

5) Puracy

  • Best for: premium everyday home care, including dish and hand soap
  • Why it fits: clean-label marketing, good scent options, strong retail appeal
  • Notes: a nice middle ground between mass and premium

6) Pipette

  • Best for: gentle hand soap, especially for family-focused or sensitive-skin customers
  • Why it fits: low-tox, clean ingredient story, modern packaging
  • Notes: especially good if your assortment leans toward baby/family wellness

7) Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day

  • Best for: broad retail appeal in hand soap and dish soap
  • Why it fits: easy to sell, attractive scents, strong brand awareness
  • Notes: not as “ultra-low-tox” as some niche brands, so it depends on how strict your standards are

8) Cleancult

  • Best for: refillable, eco-friendly dish and hand soap
  • Why it fits: shelf-friendly, modern refill model, strong sustainability angle
  • Notes: good if you want a “refillable home essentials” section

9) Common Good

  • Best for: refillable hand soap and dish soap with premium aesthetic
  • Why it fits: strong low-waste branding and nice display value
  • Notes: great for curated boutiques and giftable assortments

10) Attitude

  • Best for: plant-based, eco-certified home care
  • Why it fits: strong certification story and good fit for low-tox shoppers
  • Notes: often well suited to stores that want clear eco/health positioning

If you want a tighter assortment, I’d shortlist these by role

Core value eco brands

  • ECOS
  • Mrs. Meyer’s
  • Dr. Bronner’s

Premium low-tox / modern refill brands

  • Blueland
  • Cleancult
  • Common Good

Ingredient-conscious / wellness-forward

  • Branch Basics
  • Puracy
  • Attitude

What to check before choosing vendors

For retail assortment planning, verify:

  • Wholesale availability / retailer program
  • MOQ and case pack sizes
  • Shelf life and shipping restrictions
  • MSRP and margin
  • Certifications like EPA Safer Choice, EWG Verified, USDA BioPreferred, Leaping Bunny, etc.
  • Scent profile: unscented + a couple of light scents usually sells best
  • Packaging: pump bottles, refill pouches, glass, or aluminum depending on your store aesthetic

My practical recommendation

If you want a balanced small-store lineup, I’d start with:

  • Dish soap: Blueland, ECOS, or Puracy
  • Hand soap: Dr. Bronner’s, Common Good, or Mrs. Meyer’s
  • One premium refill option: Cleancult or Branch Basics

That gives you:

  • one accessible everyday option,
  • one premium eco/refill option,
  • and one trusted brand for broader customer appeal.

If you want, I can also put together a sample 8–12 SKU retail assortment with suggested price points and brand mix for a small shop.
