Our commitment to sustainability

We care just as much about how we source our ingredients as what they do for your skin.

  • Good for your skin.
  • Kind to the planet.
  • Thoughtfully made from start to finish.
  • Sustainably & ethically sourced: All our oils and butters come from trusted suppliers who share our values of respect for the land, the people who farm it, and the bees who make it possible.
  • Low air miles: Wherever we can, we choose locally sourced, traditional plant oils and butters over exotic botanicals that need to travel halfway around the world. This keeps our footprint smaller and supports local growers.
  • Upcycled & reused: Many of our ingredients are clever by-products of other industries, like our fruit seed oils, which come from the jam and fruit juice industries. What might have been wasted finds a beautiful new purpose in our balms and oils.
  • Recyclable packaging: All of our packaging can be recycled, and our pump dispenser caps can be reused. We also work with One Tree Planted to help fund reforestation projects, offsetting unavoidable carbon emissions from our business.
