5 Ways to Support a Small, Woman-Owned Business (That Go Beyond Buying)

 

When you shop with a small, woman-owned business, you’re doing more than placing an order—you’re supporting a dream, a family, a mission, and in our case, a deeper commitment to conscious living.

But what if you’re not in the market for anything right now? The good news: there are so many impactful ways to support brands like Urban Oreganics without spending a dollar.

Here are five simple, meaningful ways you can uplift small, woman-owned businesses—and help us keep doing what we love.

1. Share with Your Circle

Word of mouth is powerful—and personal recommendations mean everything to small brands. If you’ve tried one of our products and loved it, tell a friend. Mention us in a group chat. Share your skincare routine on Instagram. Leave a comment when someone asks for clean skincare product recs.

Your voice carries weight. And for a small business like ours, your voice makes waves.

 

2. Engage on Social Media

A like, a comment, a save—it all adds up. Social media algorithms often favor big brands with big budgets, but your engagement helps level the playing field.

Here’s how to help boost our visibility in seconds:

  • Like or comment on a post
  • Share our content to your Stories
  • Tag us in your unboxing or skincare routine
  • Save your favorite @urbanoreganics posts to come back to later

It’s free, it’s easy, and it helps others discover us organically.

 

3. Write a Thoughtful Review

If you’ve purchased from us before, consider leaving a review on our website, Etsy, or Google. Your honest feedback helps others feel confident in their choices, especially those navigating sensitive skin, ingredient concerns, or overwhelm in the skincare space.

Your review doesn’t need to be long—just genuine. A few sentences about your experience could make all the difference to a new customer (and it means the world to us).

 

4. Gift Intentionally

Need a baby shower, birthday, or holiday gift? Skip the big box stores and gift something intentional. A few ideas:

These small gifts are deeply personal—and they introduce our brand to someone new.

5. Simply Cheer Us On

A kind DM. A comment saying, “I see your hard work.” A message sharing how a product supported your skin or your self-care routine.

Running a small business is rewarding—but also vulnerable and exhausting at times. Your encouragement keeps us going more than you know.

 

Small Actions, Big Ripples

When you support a woman-owned business like Urban Oreganics, you’re investing in more than skincare. You’re investing in ethical sourcing, thoughtful packaging, and a quieter, slower way of doing business. You’re reminding the world that small can be powerful—and that sustainability starts with community. You're voting with your dollar.

So whether you’re shopping or simply sharing, thank you. It all matters. You matter.
