In-Store Refills
The refillery, opened in 2017, was the first of its kind in Calgary, catering to the zero waste lifestyle and saving you money on the products you love! Buy in bulk, save some dollars and keep those containers out of the landfill.
Read through the instructions below to ensure that we have what you need and that you have the best possible refillery experience when you come in!
The container that will work best depends on the product you’re having it filled with. Can we easily get the product into the container — and will you be able to easily get it out? Will the container effectively hold the product? And of course, make sure all containers are clean and dry!
Acceptable: Containers must be clean and dry for hygienic and batch contamination purposes. Your containers must also have a lid - unless you are purchasing candy for snacking on the way home!
Unacceptable: Containers with product still inside, wet containers, broken containers, containers that are not clean, and containers that do not have lids are unacceptable.
P.S. If you don’t have any containers to refill, don’t worry about it! We have lots of brand new empty, reusable (glass and PET plastic) containers here in the store for purchase, as well as a donation bin of all kinds of used containers!
Come to The Apothecary in Inglewood and let us know what you want, and how much. We will tare your container before filling so that you are charged for the proper weight of product.
It may take us some time to fill your containers. Please feel free to browse in the store or at one of the many amazing shops nearby here in Inglewood.
In a bit of a hurry? Place your order online for curbside pick up the day before, and choose from our online selection of refill products. Allow for 24 hours for us to get your order ready, or until you receive a pick up email from us. Then, pick up your order at our back door.
Refill essential oils at bulk prices, or utilize our Blending Bar to buy by the drop and create master blends without the investment of many different oils!
Most of the essential oils and synergy blends available here on the site are available for refilling with the exception of vetiver, cocoa absolute, benzoin and vanilla absolute (they are too thick and/or resinous to refill). If you would like to confirm whether we have a specific oil on hand, please phone us at (403) 453-0313 or email us (info@the-apothecary.ca).
Bring in your clean, dry bottle to refill. Bulk essential oil refills are available up to 15 mL.
Use the Blending Bar to buy essential oils by the drop and create Master Blends without investing in tons of different oils! Simply bring in your blend recipe and we can blend it for you right here.
We carry quite a few brands in store! We try to source as local as possible to support small Canadian business. Let us know if there's a brand you're looking for; we're always looking for new suppliers!
