Packaging

  • All of our packaging is recyclable and we offer soaps in refill sizes to cut down on waste.  We are constantly looking for more sustainable bottles and hope they are available soon.
  • We are switching our plastic jars to PIR (post industrial resin).  These are recycled products created from scrap plastic.
  • We don't sell our products in individual boxes that get thrown away after the product is opened.

Office Initiatives

  • We have 100% LED lighting.
  • We heat and cool using a ductless mini-spilt that is energy efficient, lowers our carbon footprint and provides better air quality.
  • We recycle all of our plastic film and plastic containers used in manufacturing the products.
  • We will never send you a printed mailing.
