Where are your products made?
All of our items are made in the United States. We make everything ourselves and do not outsource anything. We package, label and ship each one of your orders!
Is there a shelf life?
Yes! We have no synthetic ingredients at all which means no endocrine disruptors and so carcinogens (yay!). We are working on adding a shelf life note on each item listing but a general rule of thumb is 3-6 months. Items like toothpastes and salves have a much longer shelf life of 1-2 years.
Do your products contain artificial fragrance?
Absolutely not! We do not use any synthetic anything in our items- especially "fragrance." Our items are scented with therapeutic organic essential oils only. Our items are not strong in scent.
What is zero waste?
We have been zero waste since our inception in 2008 which means we are 100% conscious of our waste in every sense of the word. We buy in bulk, we buy sustainably and as local as possible. All of our packaging is glass, metal and paperboard, we reuse or recycle all of the bottles our oils/butters come in, our labels are on recycled paper with soy inks and printed locally, even our office furniture is upcycled! Our printer paper is the most eco friendly available. We use no excess packaging and all of our shipping boxes/envelopes are 100% recycled and recyclable. We don't take any of our usage choices lightly at all.
Are you certified organic?
We have not applied to get everything certified (because it's so expensive and we are a small business) but we are so particular about all of our ingredients. We use the best, purest and certified ingredients. We ensure that all of our ingredients are pure, unrefined, cruelty free and fair trade. We choose to partner with companies that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. We try and buy straight from the farmers as much as possible so that we can trace items back to the growers.
Are you cruelty free?
Absolutely! We could never run a business that hurt the animals or environment in any way. We ensure that all of our suppliers are cruelty free as well.
Why are your items packaged in glass?
Plastic is the plague of our nation and we refuse to contribute to the destruction of the oceans. All of our packaging is at least 30% post recycled material and is reusable, recyclable and ecofriendly. Our lids are metal and reusable/recyclable as well.
Why are my products hard in the winter/soft in the summer?
We don't use any synthetic ingredients at all. No synthetic stabilizers, no synthetic preservatives. Anything with coconut oil in it will be hard at temperatures below 76 degrees and gets harder the cooler it gets. A hot water bath for an item will soften it right up!
That being said, hot weather is tough on natural products. We can't control temperatures during shipment so if your item is shipping during the summer months, pop it in the fridge for about 20 minutes when you first get it. It helps it to set and will be fine in normal temperatures.
Are there any hidden ingredients?
Absolutely not! We disclose each ingredient used and you will never find any fillers or hidden ingredients.
