New and trending

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.

We've been sprinkling Purple Rain on every pasta dish and bagel that comes through our office, and Kanye Pepper is a favorite on popcorn during our team retreats. Forever Green is the perfect addition to a soup or stew on a rainy evening.

Purple Rain - A fragrant floral, herbal aroma from the Lavender, Rosemary and Thyme, with a little kick from the chili pepper! Whether or not you've considered eating lavender buds, please, answer this call. Purple Rain is one of those things you can put on practically anything to turn it into a gourmet meal. Our favorite is to sprinkle it on top of avocado toast to start the day!

Kanye Pepper - Almost as spicy as Yeezy himself! This blend certainly has some heat, courtesy of the cayenne pepper, to satisfy the spice lover in your life, while balanced out by a touch of brown sugar and the familiar favorites - garlic and salt. This blend complements a range of cuisines, and personally we love to let it be the star of the show by dusting it on popcorn. Yum!

Forever Green - A must-have for the colder months, Forever Green will help you feel warm, cozy, and nourished. You can get creative with this blend of savory green herbs and a touch of cinnamon. We love adding it to soups and stews!

These gummy vitamins are made by Herbaland, a family owned company founded in 2009 not too far from here in BC, Canada. They make delicious vegan gummy vitamins that make it easy to get the proper nutrition you and your family need.

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.

End of life

When the brush heads begins to wear, we like to retire them for cleaning around the house.

Compost the brush head when necessary, and find the replacement brush head here. Reuse the wooden handle. If necessary, all parts of the handle are either compostable (wood) or recyclable (metal).

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!)
