All

We're so excited to now offer upcycled cotton protective face masks to provide additional health protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wearing a mask is a sign of respect and care for those around you (it protects others in the case you're asymptomatic), and is now required in many public spaces. We recommend following all guidelines from the CDC on how to protect yourself and others, including wearing a mask over your mouth and nose when around others, washing hands (and sanitizing) often, disinfecting surfaces, and avoiding close contact with others.

These face masks are made locally with donated upcycled materials in Portland, Oregon by Hidden Opulence, a Queer, Black Latinx owned design house dedicated to sustainable practices. 

The design is a remix of a familiar, classic style of face mask - made with three pleats, and low tension elastic ear loops, and a wire along the nose bridge. The ear loops adjust to fit comfortably, and don't tug on your ears since they're made of low tension elastic. There are 3 layers of thin, 100% cotton fabric (fleece in the middle layer) for excellent filtration and breathability. The mask features wire to fit more snug along the nose bridge, making them more effective and less likely to fog up glasses! 

Prints

The masks can be worn reversible, with a different pattern fabric on each side to mix up your look or pick your favorite side. 

This batch of face masks are each a combination of the 7 prints pictured together on the swatch page. Choose a 3-pack for even more variety! 

We do not accommodate fabric requests at this time, but you will  most likely get a combination of prints that are pictured! We'll do our best to add new photos when the next batch of prints come in.

Use and care

These masks are professionally cleaned and come in a sealed envelope, so you can wear yours right away.

According to the CDC, "You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick. The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected. Everyone*, should wear a cloth face cover in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain."

Wear the mask over your nose and mouth when you're out in public or around people you don't live with. Form the wire at the top to be snug against the bridge of your nose to improve effectiveness and prevent glasses from fogging, and adjust the ear loops so the mask fits snug (but not too tight) around your face. 

The CDC recommends that you "continue to keep 6 ft distance between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing."

Wash after use (by hand or machine). Safe to machine dry, or lay flat to dry (best option to keep shape without ironing). Reversible wear. Iron with steam & low heat to reshape. 

*Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

Size

Designed for adults. 5.5" long, 2.5" tall flat, 5.5" with fully extended pleats. Adjustable earloops with 6" of elastic on each side. Metal wire: 3.5"

Materials

3 layers of thin, 100% cotton fabric (fleece in the middle layer).

Metal wire (for adjustable nose bridge).

Low tension elastic earloops.

Rubber strap adjusters. 

Packaging

Paper envelope with clear window, sealed with a sticker. Paper slip with care instructions is included in the envelope. In Seattle, paper envelopes with windows can be put into single-stream recycling as-is. Your local recycler may have different recommendations.

The masks come packaged this way to ensure they remain sterile before use - they're professionally cleaned before they are packaged.

Origin

These face masks are made locally with donated upcycled materials in Portland, Oregon by Hidden Opulence, a Queer, Black Latinx owned design house dedicated to sustainable practices.

In addition to making these protective face masks, Hidden Opulence offers clothing repairs and alterations at their Portland studio (you can even do mail in orders for alterations or repairs!)

End of life

Cut out the metal wire to recycle. The cotton fabric and straps can be donated to a fabric recycler such as Threadcycle, or the fabric can be composted and the elastic straps discarded in the trash.

These delicious smelling shampoo bars are handmade right here in Seattle! They are chock full of wonderful ingredients, starting with a base of babassu oil, chamomile-infused sunflower oil. Our soap maker tells us they have a bit of a cult following at her farmer's market stand!

They are palm oil free, paraben- and sulfate-free, and scented with essential oils. Most of the ingredients are organic as well! The only animal product in them is the raw honey, which is from a small, organic local beekeeper in Everett.

Sunny grove is scented with lemon, lemongrass and tea tree essential oils and is reminiscent of a bright sunny day. Refresh is more herbal and refreshing, scented with basil, peppermint and rosemary essential oils.

Use and care

Use it just as you would a bar of soap, massaging into your scalp. It will create a sudsy lather, and each one is packed full of plant based goodness to leave your hair silky and shiny.

Size

Each bar is approximately 5 oz. 

Ingredients

Palm oil free, sulfate free, paraben free.

Sunny Grove: Organic babassu oil, chamomile-infused sunflower oil, organic shea butter, castor oil, olive oil, organic rice bran oil, organic coconut oil, raw honey, organic lemon essential oil, organic lemongrass essential oil, and tea tree essential oil.

Packaging

Wrapped in compostable paper made from the bark of the Daphne bush, which is a renewable resource. The paper is acid free and naturally dyed. The labels are locally printed.

Origin

Handmade by a woman-owned small business in Seattle, WA.

She chooses organic ingredients whenever possible. She sources her honey from a very small, local family in Everett; they are organic and the honey is raw and unpasteurized.

The paper used to wrap the bars is from a Seattle company called Of the Earth. It is a handmade Lotka paper made from the bark of the Daphne bush which regenerates naturally providing a renewable resource and is acid-free and naturally dyed. Her labels are also printed by a local company. 

We're kind of freaking out about these soaps. Call us obsessive, but we've been searching high and low for the perfect vegan, sulfate-free, palm oil free, locally made natural hand and body soaps for what seems like years. Oh wait, it has been years! Trust us -- it's harder than it sounds (try reading the ingredients labels of all the soaps at your local grocery store - yikes). 

Well, the wait is finally over! These soaps are absolutely luxurious, and they're handmade by Liz, a woman on our wavelength, not too far from here, in Spokane, WA. All of the colors come from natural pigments in clays, herbal infusions, spices, and other botanicals. The result is cleansing care that is safe for your body, safe for the water, safe for the earth.

Each bar of soap is a unique work of art - no two are exactly the same, which means they will vary slightly from the photos.

Types

Pink Clay + grapefruit - Burst of citrusy grapefruit on the skin and cleansing pink clay suds. Luxurious and pink.

Blue clay + patchouli - Blue clay cleanses the skin while sea salt gently exfoliates. Earthy scents of patchouli and sandalwood delight the senses. 

Lavender - Alkanet root gives this bar a natural purple pigment and the lavender scent releases a soft floral scent.

Unscented coconut milk + calendula- Only seven ingredients. Shea butter and organic coconut milk create a moisturizing, creamy lather. Organic calendula petals gently infuse the soap with skin-loving properties. Safe ingredients make it the perfect bar for kids, babies, and anyone with sensitive skin, especially since it is does not contain any essential oils. Perfect for bathtime.

Aloe + spearmint + loofah - Freshly harvested aloe from organic leaves, combined with spearmint essential oil, create our freshest soap yet. Shredded loofah gourd provides a natural exfoliant while aloe soothes the skin.

Lemon + poppy seed - Poppy seeds naturally exfoliate the skin while bursts of lemon delight the senses. An exfoliant that is safe for the skin, the water, and the earth. Though you may be tempted, do not eat this soap! 

Rose + ylang ylang - Rose geranium and pure ylang ylang create an intoxicating love spell, while pink clay and hibiscus powder create a smooth, silky lather for the skin. Topped with organic rosebuds.

Clary Sage + Thyme - Celebrate seasonal herbs and wildflowers with a soap infused with calendula petals and red saffron petals. Essential oils of marjoram, penny royal, clary sage, and white thyme create an earthy, cleansing, herbal scent.

Eucalyptus + Sea Clay - Take your skin to the spa with eucalyptus essential oil. Shea butter moisturizes the skin while french green clay and sea clay create soft, green bubbles. Himalayan pink salt garnish creates a gentle exfoliation.

The deodorant crystal our customers are raving about!

The alum stone is a highly unique natural deodorant that can also be used as an aftershave. This amazing crystal deodorant is made of mineral salt, so it stops odor-producing bacteria from forming, making it a safe and effective natural deodorant. Each stone will last you for several years!

Alum stones will help you sweat less, but they don't block your pores like an antiperspirant would, meaning they still allow your body to naturally cool down and release toxins when it needs to. They are a beautiful and package free alternative to deodorant that's completely nontoxic. 

Alum stones have been used since antiquity as a styptic and a deodorizer. The secret to using this crystal as a deodorant is to have clean skin before you apply! You can read more about how to use alum stones on our blog. When used as an aftershave on the legs or face, it soothes nicks and cuts, and helps to prevent razor burn or skin irritation from shaving. 

Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance. They are natural, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free and vegan.

Use and care

Gently wet the surface and apply as you would deodorant.

The alum stone works best when your pores are clean and open, such as after a shower. You can also use a warm or soapy washcloth to cleanse your underarm, and then apply the stone. Either works just fine! Cleansing your underarm first is the trick to what makes this so effective.

It can have a bit of an adjustment period like any natural deodorant. We suggest giving the detox phase a few weeks for it to work its best.

Please note: It is a salt crystal that dissolves with moisture, so pat dry if needed and store in a dry place. We recommend using an old jar lid as a tray for your alum stone!

It does not expire, nor is it temperature sensitive. With daily use, this stone should last over two years.

Types

Classic - Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance. 

Imperfect - We inspect each stone from our manufacturer and have discounted some due to more noticeable imperfections. "Imperfect" alum stones are not broken, they are typically just slightly chipped around the edges, but work just as well! 

Travel/sample size - This is a perfect way to sample an alum stone if you're unsure, or just want a smaller piece for travel. These are pieces of stones that were broken during shipment, so putting these to use is truly zero waste! Each has a smooth outer side that can glide against your skin.

Size

This stone weighs 5.3 oz.

Ingredients

Potassium Alum (Mineral Salts).

Alum stones contain a naturally occurring form of aluminum (Potassium Alum) that does not possess the same health risks as the aluminums in many antiperspirant deodorants (Aluminum Chloride/Chlorohydrate/Zirconium), which block sweat ducts and glands. Potassium Alum is a different chemical compound and stays on the surface of your skin, making alum stones safe to use.

Does not contain Parabens.

Packaging

None.

Origin

Made in France.

End of life

Use until it’s too small to hold. It can last about 5 years, depending on how often you use it. You’ll end up with a small piece that's basically a rock, so you won’t want to put it in a compost bin but what you can do is sand it into a powder (it’s a very soft crystal), add water and put it in a spray bottle to keep using as deodorant! Zero waste!

• Silica - serves as a cleaning agent and helps to remove any soft plaque.
• Amisoft (Sodium Lauryl Glutamate) - is a natural, mild, eco-friendly surfactant. Sodium lauryl glutamate should not be confused with monosodium glutamate (MSG), used in the food industry. UNPASTE tablets are MSG-free and gluten-free.
• Magnesium Stearate - is a compound commonly used in tablet manufacturing.
• Natural Mint Flavor from essential oil - gives UNPASTE its breath-freshening power.
• Menthol - helps freshen breath and adds a brisk, cool sensation to brushing.

Unpaper towels are a simple reusable swap for those who often find themselves reaching for a fresh paper towel to clean up spills, wipe down surfaces, etc. They are a more sustainable alternative to disposable paper towels because they can be used again and again. When they are dirty, just throw them in the washer and dryer. Plus, no need to frequently run to the store to restock!

They can be used for anything you would use a paper towel for.  They are also safe in the microwave, so you can use them to cover dishes while cooking.  Each set comes with 12 towels. They naturally cling together, making it easy to roll up on a paper towel holder without the need for snaps, or you can fold them and store in a basket.

Absorbency is increased after the first few washes and will shrink just enough to be the perfect size for a standard paper towel roll. 

The optional unpaper towel holder is custom designed to store your unpaper towels with ease on a roll. Slide the dowel off of the base, roll your unpaper towels, and slide it back on. It also fits a standard roll of paper towels.

You can also wear an optional matching scrunchie to keep your style on point 💯. For every mask purchased, one more mask is donated to a person in need!

Wearing a mask is a sign of respect and care for those around you (it protects others in the case you're asymptomatic), and is now required in many public spaces. We recommend following all guidelines from the CDC on how to protect yourself and others, including wearing a mask over your mouth and nose when around others, washing hands (and sanitizing) often, disinfecting surfaces, and avoiding close contact with others.

These face masks and scrunchies are made locally in Seattle with deadstock fabric and upcycled un-sellable clothing by Left Pocket, a woman-owned thrift & handmade goods small business, focused on giving new life to old clothes and fabrics. 

The masks are a classic design - made with two pleats, two breathable layers of fabric and adjustable elastic ear loops. There's an inner pocket where you can insert an optional additional filter, such as a coffee filter or extra piece of fabric, if you'd like.

Prints

Prints are all limited edition, as they are made with deadstock fabric and/or upcycled clothing. If you see a print you love, get it while you can!

We'll do our best to post photos of each new print we get in so that you can select your print preference - but if not, you'll get a mystery fabric when you order "mixed print."

Sizes

Adult and kids sizes available.

Ear loops are adjustable.

Use and care

We recommend washing your mask before the first wear. They're machine washable and ideally air dried to prolong the life of your mask. Located on the inside center there is a small hole where you can insert an optional filter and have encouraged our customers to use compostable coffee filters cut to size.

According to the CDC, "You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick. The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected. Everyone*, should wear a cloth face cover in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain."

Wear the mask over your nose and mouth when you're out in public or around people you don't live with. Form the wire at the top to be snug against the bridge of your nose to improve effectiveness and prevent glasses from fogging, and adjust the ear loops so the mask fits snug (but not too tight) around your face. 

The CDC recommends that you "continue to keep 6 ft distance between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing."

*Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

Materials

Mask: 2 layers of deadstock or upcycled fabric and elastic earloops with rubber size adjusters.

Pink plaid, gray floral and scribbles: GOTS certified organic cotton.

Packaging

Origin

These face masks are made locally in Seattle with deadstock fabric and upcycled un-sellable clothing by Left Pocket, a woman-owned sustainable clothing company that resells loved garments and repurposes the fabric from their donations and purchases. They see the huge environmental impact of the fashion industry and have used their time in quarantine to broaden their platform. 

Left Pocket is donating one mask for every mask sold and have so far donated over 400 masks to shelters, food banks, and individuals in need with the desire to help stop the spread of Covid 19.   

End of life

The touch of certified organic beeswax offers unmatched environmental defense against wind, salt water and sun. It is removed from the hive in a way that neither the bees nor the hive are harmed. Here at Eco Collective we support kind beekeepers!

Additional information about the beeswax used:

Certified Organic Beeswax is produced naturally in honeycomb structures by worker bees. It acts as a surfactant forming a protective barrier on the surface of the skin. The barrier provides a film of protection against irritants while still allowing the skin to breathe. Beeswax acts as an emulsifier and offers unmatched environmental defense against wind, salt water and sun. It is removed from the hive in a way that neither the bees nor the hive are harmed. This ingredient has been verified and certified both as a Natural Ingredient by the Natural Products Association and NON GMO by the Non GMO Project.
