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 (not currently available) - 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 (not currently available) - 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!

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.

"I hope you find joy in this project that was created in a slow & carefully meaningful way, and that the words and images inside serve as gentle reminders of the magic you already have in you.

The contents of the cards were conjured over years of little journal entries of my own. I like to write down little words and reminders for myself, and one day I decided to go through my personal archives and come up with a deck of simple, loving words & illustrations to share with others. Each design is 100% hand drawn in black ink my windowlit studio over the course of 8 months. This is a self-published card deck made in small batches.

Suggested use

+ With your intuition: take a deep breath and pull a card. Trust that you will pull out the one you need to see. What might this message mean to you in this moment? Pause and reflect.

+ Explore: flip through the deck and find a card with a message that speaks to you at the moment. Put it up in your space to remind you.

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.

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.

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 upcycled fabric face masks are made to provide additional health protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please wear one to keep us all safe! 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. 

Scrunchie: Deadstock or upcycled fabric and inner elastic.

Fiber contents vary depending on the style. We don't always have fiber content information for deadstock fabrics. Here is the fiber content based on the fabric prints:

Polka dots & navy floral: unknown fiber content, most likely a cotton blend.

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

Packaging

Paper tag tied on with cotton string.

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

If everyone in the U.S. flossed their teeth according to ADA recommendations, our empty containers alone would fill a landfill the size of a football field that’s 6 stories high in just one year — just for the empty floss dispensers!

Refillable dental floss is a simple and stylish solution. Each new floss purchase comes with a refillable glass container with a 33 yard spool of compostable silk or corn floss.

Refills are available separately in packs of 2 spools (66 yards total!) so you can use your container again and again.

The silk floss is the classic compostable floss we have always carried, and we now have a new compostable vegan corn-based version as well! 

Since this floss is biodegradable, it can be a bit more prone to breakage than regular plastic floss; it can sometimes break between very tight spots between your teeth. We offer both silk and corn floss because the silk is a bit sturdier and might be a preferred option if you have tight spaces between your teeth.

Ingredients

The silk floss is made with 100% compostable silk. The other ingredients are candelilla wax and natural mint flavoring.

The vegan floss is made with a compostable corn fiber, candelilla wax and natural mint flavoring.

Packaging

Floss dispensers are a small glass container with a metal lid. They come in a small kraft recyclable paper box.

Floss refills come in a small kraft recyclable paper box and a compostable paper wrapper.

Origin

Manufactured in China.

End of life

The floss is compostable after use, and the container is refillable! The container can also be recycled or passed along to a friend if it doesn't work out for you (but we hope it will!)

This locally made conditioner bar is super moisturizing and has a subtle scent of cocoa butter and geranium with a touch of tea tree oil. It can last up to 100 uses depending on on the length of your hair.

Keep all your zero waste containers sparkling clean with this durable and sustainable brush.

This elegant wooden bottle brush features durable coconut fibers that are ideal for cleaning water bottles, baby bottles, glasses, jars, vases, coffee and tea pots and any vessel with a narrow opening. 

This brush is naturally antibacterial, and it has been safely tested to be non-scratching on thousands of surfaces. However, test a small area before use - certain materials such as soft or low quality plastic in particular are more prone to scratching and we cannot ensure it won't scratch every surface.

Use and care

Insert the brush end into a bottle or another vessel and gently scrub the inside with soap and water. Rinse.

Store the brush upright and avoid letting it sit in water for extended periods of time, as this can cause the bristles and handle to deteriorate more quickly.

Size

Brush measures 13"; Bristles are 6" x 2" wide.

Materials

FSC certified wood handle - made from the wood of rubber trees at the end of their life in a plantation. 

Recyclable metal wire.

The bristles are made from sustainably farmed coconut husks which is the outside of dried coconuts.

Contains no plastic or toxic chemicals.

Packaging

Recyclable cardboard.

Origin

Made sustainably and ethically in Sri Lanka. Sourced from EcoCoconut a company dedicated to a completely plastic-free product line, down to their shipping and packaging materials! They take care in the sourcing of every material used in their products.

End of life

Reuse the brush for cleaning around the house if it no longer seems fit for bottles. Later, untwist the wire to separate bristles for compost. Separate the wire from the brush to recycle, and compost the wooden handle.

This wooden dish scrub brush has firm and durable coconut fiber bristles, making it a perfect choice for cleaning pots and pans. This dish brush is completely compostable at the end of its life, making it a sustainable alternative to plastic scrubbers. 

Pairs nicely with our dish soap block (pictured).

Use and care

Store upright away from water in between uses. 

To improve the longevity of your brush, do not let it soak in water for an extended period of time.

Boil as needed to sterilize. 

Materials

Made of beechwood plant-based sisal bristles.

Packaging

None.

Origin

Designed in Seattle. Made in China by a small company with good working conditions. Their ISO certification is ISO 9001:2008, meaning they have appropriate and effective quality management systems in place and are constantly increasing efficiency. RoHS compliant, meaning they don't use specific hazardous materials banned by the EU. They have a third party inspection service, and are compliant with SGS.

End of life

Compostable.

These attractive wooden dish brushes have removable, compostable brush heads. These are perfect for cleaning jars, glasses, plates, pots and pans, they've got a perfect, medium scrubbing power - not so rough that they'll scratch anything, but strong enough to really get at most kitchen messes!

You can reduce waste by reusing the brush handle again and again with the replacement heads.

If you're looking for extra scrubbing power, like for pots and pans, check out our handheld pot scrubber.

Use and care

For best results, let dry when not in use by hanging from the metal hook at end of handle or storing in a jar with bristles upright. Avoid any long soaks.

The bristles will soften over time but retain their scrubbing power, and you can replace the head when it starts to wear out. Boil to sterilize when needed.

The brush head will naturally loosen from the wires over time with use, so it starts off very tight - it's normal for brand new brush heads to not come off easily. When you are ready to remove the brush head to compost it, we recommend pushing the metal loop down towards the handle to loosen the grip of the wires. 

Materials

Wooden beechwood handle with metal hook and attachment pieces. The bristles are made from Tampico fiber, a plant-based material sourced from agave and yucca.

Packaging

None.
