Sustainability
We take the responsibility of minimizing our carbon footprint seriously. Here are a few ways we’ve created more eco-friendly practices:
✦ Most of our packaging utilizes recyclable materials or can be recycled.
✦ We curate small brands because their eco footprint is smaller. We even use local brands for our shop and office supplies.
✦ Our foraged items like palo santo and sage are ethically sourced from the indigenous communities that know the plant best. You'd can read more about our switch to sustainable Blue Sage here!
✦ We offer reusable totes for purchase to reduce the amount of bags we use.

Equity
From our products to our team members, we’re striving to make the diversity in our shop to be as inclusive as possible. Here’s what we’ve done to make that possible since we sent our open letter addressed to our community in June 2020:

✦ We're constantly looking to expand our staff's diversity with new team members & collaborators. You can view some of our most recent collaborators & regular contributors below!
