Eco Collective

The perfect immune support supplement for all the busy bees out there! Sprinkle over smoothies, oatmeal, acai bowls, yogurt, and even soups and salads to boost your energy, immunity, and overall wellbeing.

Bee pollen is anti-inflammatory, which is important for a number of health reasons - it's believed to support faster healing, boost liver health, reduce the risk of heart disease, reduce the severity of allergies, and increase immunity.

Harvested in the rugged and mountainous Galician region of northwest Spain, this pollen has a sweet taste with a soft crunch. It's rare to find beekeepers that can guarantee organic bee pollen, and theirs is sustainably harvested in the right season to ensure the bees thrive. Nearly all the hives are located 2200 feet above sea level, where the bees visit plants such as oak, sweet chestnut, rockrose, heather, and others. This bee pollen is sun-dried so it maintains all its natural enzymes.

Note: This product does not contain any of the 8 major allergens. In rare cases bee products may cause allergic reactions in some people. This product is manufactured in accordance with all Federal, State and regulatory guidelines and is in full compliance with Dietary Supplement regulations.

Use & Care 

Sprinkle over smoothies, oatmeal, acai bowls, yogurt, and even soups and salads to boost your energy, immunity and overall wellbeing. It's best enjoyed raw but you can blend it into salad dressings or smoothies if you wish. You can even bake it into cakes or muffins.

Start with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per day, with a maximum of 1 tablespoon per day.  If you’re allergic to bees and honey, you’re probably allergic to bee pollen. Use caution and common sense, but always consult with your primary care physician before taking any new supplement.

Store in a cool, dry place.

Bring your writing to life with fun new colors for your fountain pen! These inks come in unique and vibrant shades that bring an element of play to your everyday notes, to-do lists, and journaling. Small but mighty, these mini ink bottles give you the flexibility to try out a color (or six)... and surprisingly, they'll refill your pen up to 15 times!

Use with a refillable ink cartridge converter and fountain pen for your low-waste writing practice, or dilute ink with water to use with a paintbrush. These inks are fast-drying, nontoxic, and made with all-natural dyes. 

Perle Noire is a rich black ink well-suited for many paper types. An ideal everyday ink.
Bleu Myosotis is a cool purple-toned blue. A soft-spoken take on standard blue inks.
Rose Cyclamen is a vivid fuschia and a fabulous accent ink.
Orange Indien is a warm orange with a deep, coppery undertone.
Roulle d'Ancre is a warm, sepia-toned peach.
Vert Olive is a muted, sepia-toned olive green.
Vert Empire is a deep forest green and would work well as an everyday ink (with a twist!)

Mind the color swatches, as the ink dries differently from how it may appear in the bottle.

Designed, printed and assembled by Worthwhile Paper with love in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Worthwhile Paper is a family operated business by a wife-and-husband team. They pride themselves on using water-based screen printing inks and recycled white and kraft paper stocks from French Paper Company, a Michigan paper mill that operates on 100% hydropower.

End of Life

Fully recyclable or save as a keepsake!

This refillable highlighter is the coolest low-waste alternative to standard highlighters, for when you want your writing to really pop. We love our art and journaling supplies around here, and this new yellow highlighter is perfect for research, note taking, or making a compelling to do list. Such an exciting addition to our fountain pen family.

The transparent pen body lets you see how much ink is left in the cartridge, so you know exactly when it's time to refill. The compact size makes it easy to toss into your purse or pocket, and the cap can slide easily onto the end of the pen to extend it to a comfortable writing length. 

The pen comes equipped with a broad 1.9mm steel calligraphy nib and a silver Kaweco Sport logo embossed on the side. One neon yellow highlighter ink cartridge is included inside the pen. Durably crafted in Germany, ordered from a US distributor.

Highlighter ink cartridges are also sold separately. Each pack contains 6 standard international size ink cartridges to fit Kaweco fountain pens.

While international cartridges are a versatile and widely compatible option for fountain pens, please be sure to check the requirements of your specific pen before purchasing.

Use & Care

Each pen comes with one highlighter ink cartridge. To use, twist the tip of the pen from the body and firmly press the cartridge into the base of the tip, breaking the cartridge's seal and allowing ink to flow. Store firmly capped and tip down. Replace the cartridge when it runs out. Write often to reduce drying; If this happens, lightly wet the tip by dipping it in water or on a wet paper towel. You may find our blog post on refilling fountain pens helpful. You shouldn’t experience a leak, but if it happens, contact us to get in touch with the company. 

You can take your fountain pen on a plane, but fly with it either empty (storing ink cartridge separately) or completely full (with no room for the air to expand with pressure). It also helps to store it with the nib pointed upwards. 

Please note: Fountain pen ink may bleed when used underneath this highlighter pen, depending on the type of ink. We recommend testing the highlighter first (and make sure to wait until the ink's completely dry before highlighting!) We've experienced minimal bleeding when used with Kaweco ink cartridges. For best results, use with pencil, ballpoint ink, or printed ink. Can be used with water-based and gel inks, if the ink is first allowed to dry.

Materials

This refillable pen is made of metal and durable plastic and can be used again and again.

The ink cartridge included comes in a small plastic casing to prevent leakage and is disposed of when empty.  One cartridge lasts about as long as a typical highlighter but generates much less plastic waste than disposable pen alternatives. 

Packaging

Each highlighter comes in a recyclable metal tin with a complementary yellow highlighter ink cartridge included inside the pen.

Highlighter cartridge packs are packaged in a small recyclable paper box. 

Made in Germany by Kaweco and sourced from a US distributor. Kaweco is a German-based company and one of the oldest pen manufacturers in the world. The SPORT series was invented in 1911 and was initially marketed for its slim and convenient profile to ladies, gentlemen in evening dress, and sportsmen— from whom the pen got its name.

Made to last. Use this pen again and again with Kaweco highlighter ink cartridges

Félin Lune Apothecary is a low waste/zero waste beauty brand catering to the magic of self-care. Products are handcrafted, cruelty-free, and use gentle ingredients that are backed by science and rooted in holistic herbalism. 

The brand is AAPI owned and located in Santa Monica, CA. It was founded by Elizabeth Vu, who also formulates each product. She says soap making began as a way to soothe the stress that came from her original career path... and eventually became a way to leave that career path and pursue a healthier, happier, and more balanced life. In her own words:

"Through this little business, I combine my pre-med science background with my family-taught herbalism to create little wonders of happiness. I once wanted to become a doctor to help others, I’d like to believe that I am doing so still through a different outlet. I hope my handcrafted curiosities provide those who use them with a sense of happiness due to the self-care and self-love that they are dedicating time to."

Loaded with pure, Organic Shea Butter, this unbelievably dense, buttery soft and soothing lotion melts deeply into dry, thirsty skin, helping to soften, renew and revitalize. Boosted with Organic Aloe, Sweet Almond Oil, nourishing Vitamin E, and Organic Neem, this full-bodied lotion spreads easily, helping to deliver remarkable results. Perfect as is, or add your personal touch with essential oils.

Use & Care

As a facial lotion: Moisturize your face and neck with lotion every morning and/or night after you cleanse and tone. Always moisturize your face and neck in upward motions. Moisturizing is important for all skin types. In every step of skin care, always use circular, upward motions with a gentle touch on your face. Don't help gravity by tugging down on your skin, and remember that the skin on your face loves you, so you should love it.

As a body lotion: Apply to the entire body as often as needed throughout the day to hydrate and nourish the skin. Pay special attention to hands, feet, elbows and any other area of your body that is prone to dry skin.
