OUR "NO" LIST

  • NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS

    We don’t believe 'quality' needs to come at the expense of another being.

    ___

    You won’t find lanolin, squalene, carmine, gelatin, ambergris, or placenta here — Every product is crafted from organic botanicals, plant oils, natural clays, salts, and naturally-derived ingredients.

  • NO ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE

    Nature offers a full spectrum of color — from clays, roots, flowers, and plants — no number codes needed.

    ___
    “Blue 2,” “Yellow 6,” “Red 3,” “Green 3” — the list goes on. Some are linked to tumors, others to disruptions in the adrenal and kidney systems.

  • NO SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCE

    What touches your skin should never disrupt your system. And what rinses down the drain shouldn’t harm the earth either.

    ___

    Essential oils offer a safer, more honest path: for body, breath, and planet.

  • NO FILLER INGREDIENTS

    We don’t add ingredients for show — no cloud-like textures, no excess bubbles for the sake of a photo.

    ___

    Just what your body actually needs: purposeful, nourishing, and nothing more.

  • NO PETROLEUM OILS

    Petroleum-derived oils — too large to absorb, are known to trap heat and sun damage against the skin.

    ___
    In fact, studies show that natural oils have a skin absorption rate of up to 40%, while mineral oils absorb at less than 2% — making botanicals the clear choice for deep, effective care.

  • NO SODIUM LAURYL/ LAURETH SULFATE

    Harsh foaming agents that are often added not for skin benefit, but for the illusion of a “deep clean.”

    ___
    We choose ingredients that respect your skin’s balance — our formulations do not strip the skin’s natural oils and disrupt its barrier.

  • NO PARABENS / PHTHALATES

    Parabens can mimic estrogen in the body. Phthalates, have been associated with effects on the liver, kidneys, and reproductive system.

    ___

    Linked to hormone disruption and long-term health concerns. We believe safe should be the standard — not a selling point.

OUR EFFORTS TOWARDS THE ENVIRONMENT

  • NO Animal Testing

    Seems like this is redundant to mention but it's a common misconception that just because a company doesn't use animal products they are "cruelty-free".
    At our studio, all our products are made with natural ingredients and while we would never test and/or harm animals ever, my cat's coat seems to like our soap bars.

  • Conscientious Packaging

    We strive to use recyclable and/or compostable materials unless totally necessary (i.e spray dispenser and droppers). We are currently working towards also using 100% recycled boxing solutions, zero-waste shipping labels and mailers.

  • Renewable Sources

    We try our best to go above regular recycling habits. Some examples include sending our Nitrile gloves / sticker backing sheets to a specialized facility, we also give all incoming void fillers a second-life, our stickers are made of either biostone, sugarcane or 70% post-consumer waste, and we try our best to eliminate single-use plastics in our collection.

  • Giving Back to the Community

    Every purchase of self-care gives you the opportunity to care for the world around us too. You help us give back to non-profits with a diverse range of causes. Read more about our effortshere.
