How it started: A woman-owned low-waste business

Welcome to Jenni B's Henna Hut Refillery & Shop, Corning, New York's neighborhood destination for refillable home and body care products, sustainable living essentials, and handcrafted self-care goods.

What began as a passion for creating nourishing skincare products for family and friends has grown into a unique refill shop focused on helping people reduce waste without sacrificing quality, convenience, or self-care. Founded by Jen "Jenni B" Harris, Jenni B's Henna Hut first started as a henna art business before expanding into small-batch body products, including lotion bars, beard balms, lip care, and botanical skincare. Today, it has evolved into a welcoming community refillery where customers can refill everyday essentials and discover thoughtfully selected products that support a lower-waste lifestyle.

At Jenni B's Henna Hut Refillery & Shop, you'll find refillable shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, laundry products, household cleaners, skincare essentials, deodorant, and more. We also carry handmade body care products crafted in small batches, sustainable household goods, reusable alternatives to single-use products, and carefully curated wellness items.

What makes us different? We believe sustainable living should be practical, approachable, and affordable. You don't need perfectly matching jars or a completely zero-waste lifestyle to shop here. Bring a clean container from home, choose one of our rescued and reused glass bottles, or start small with a single refill. Every refill helps reduce unnecessary packaging while allowing you to pay for the product instead of the container. This refill model helps reduce waste, encourages mindful shopping, and supports a more circular local economy.

As a woman-owned small business in the heart of downtown Corning, we are passionate about offering high-quality products, honest ingredients, and a shopping experience that feels personal. Whether you're looking for natural skincare, eco-friendly cleaning products, refillable household essentials, or unique handmade gifts, we're here to help you make simple changes that fit your lifestyle.

What it's all About

Visit us at 56 E. First Street, Corning, NY, and experience the refill culture for yourself.

We invite you to slow down, refill what you need, discover something new, and join us in creating a more thoughtful way to shop, one refill at a time.

Partnering for a Lower-Waste Southern Tier

We’re also proud to partner with Southern Tier Reduces, a local organization advocating for zero-waste communities in the Southern Tier region. Their work aligns closely with our mission at Jenni B’s: finding practical ways to reduce waste, rethink everyday consumption, and make sustainable choices more accessible in our community.

We believe meaningful change happens when local people and organizations work together. We’re grateful to collaborate with others who are committed to reducing waste and building a more sustainable Southern Tier.
