Use and care

Dishwasher safe - just don't flip the bag inside out, it can compromise the bag's sealed edges.

Safe for use in the microwave, with a sous vide machine, a standard oven, or a pot of boiling water — up to 400F.

TSA-approved for flying with carry-on liquids. The clear window on every Stasher bag offers a view of contents, making them appropriate to pass airport security with travel-size liquids.

Because Stasher doesn't use any toxic sealants, the silicone can sometimes stain with certain foods. To remove stains, make a baking soda paste with vinegar or water, apply to discolored container, let sit for at least 20–30 mins, then rinse and wash the bag like normal, or leave the bag in the sun for a natural stain remover.

More than 12 billion pads and tampons are thrown out every year, and the average person with a period uses 11,000 pads, tampons, and panty liners in their lifetime - that's a lot of landfill waste, money, and trips to the drugstore!

Now when you get your period, you can opt out of wasteful and expensive disposables, and just wear underwear like any other day. These period underwear are made with organic cotton and THINX signature tech that absorbs your flow, controls odor, helps prevents leaks, and keeps you fresh ‘n’ dry — all without feeling bulky or wet.

The brief style is perfect for heavy days - it holds up to 2 regular tampons' worth. It can be used alone, or as a backup for a menstrual cup. We also carry a thong version for light days, and a bikini version for medium days.

Use and care

Wear instead of a pad or pantyliner during your period.

Between uses, rinse, throw in the washing machine (cold or warm water), and hang dry. No bleach, fabric softener, or irons.

Sizes

Fits true to size. Because THINX uses special technology to keep you leak free, the sizes fit a bit more snug than your average run-of-the-mill undies.

Your hip measurement is the most important size to consider when trying to find the perfect fit.

If Instagram is any indication, matcha is quickly unseating coffee as the energy-boosting drink of choice. Why? Because this powdered green tea’s caffeine kick produces no jitters, no crash and boosts mental clarity. Sound too good to be true?

This beautiful hardcover bound book features dozens of recipes for drinks and cocktails, as well as sweet and savory dishes, this is the first book to cover both sides of the matcha story—ancient beverage and contemporary superfood—and is an ideal cookbook for both matcha novices and the already converted.

An everyday face moisturizer that can be applied anytime to balance, calm, & hydrate the skin - and give your face a glow! It can be applied in the morning before sunscreen and make up and/or before bed after you've washed your face. Apply on top of serums or other treatments if you're using any.

Use and care

Yay for Earth lotion can be used day & night on the face for sensitive skin and all skin types. This is an oil-based moisturizer, more of a balm rather than a cream or chemical base, so you only need a very little bit for it to yield full benefits. A little goes a VERY long way, so use sparingly!

Apply small amount (about a half a pea size) to fingers and rub together and apply to face or area where needed. Start with a little and build up if you need to.

These dreamy fountain pens will make every task a pleasure instead of a chore. Keep one in your purse, pocket or desk drawer; take good care of it, and it will last you a lifetime. 

The fountain pen is a low-waste solution for all your writing needs. There’s something so satisfying about the way they write, and how they feel as you draw them across a page.

We offer a mix of classic and modern colors.  Each pen is equipped with a gold plated nib and has a golden logo cap and embossed logo on the side. Attach the cap by sliding it onto the pen for a comfortable writing length.

Medium nib; easy for novices, yet pleasant to use for long time fountain pen loyalists.

Each pen comes with one blue ink cartridge inside the pen. We sell refill ink cartridges in blue and black.

Use and care

Each pen comes with one blue ink cartridge. To unseal the cartridge, untwist the tip of the pen off, and press the cartridge in to puncture it, allowing the ink to flow. Store tip down. Replace the cartridge when it runs out. Write often to reduce drying; If this happens, lightly wet the tip by dipping it on a wet paper towel or dipping it in a glass. You shouldn’t experience a leak, but if it happens, contact us to get in touch with the company. 

Materials

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

The ink cartridge inside is in a small plastic casing to prevent leakage, and lasts about as long as a typical pen, therefore using a lot less plastic than disposable pen alternatives.

Packaging

None.

A note from the maker: during the summer months, we recommend putting the conditioner bar in the freezer for 30+ mins after you receive your shipment - this will help harden the natural oil in the conditioner bar so the bar will last longer and keep its shape.

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. 

We love it for travel since it's compact and solid - it's a great minimalist conditioner choice!

Apply it by rubbing it on your hands in warm water or directly on your hair to moisturize and loosen tangles. You can also use it as a leave-in conditioner after the shower!

Replace over 15 rolls of paper towels with one dish cloth! This highly absorbent sponge cloth mops up large spills in just one swipe. It can hold up to 20x its weight in water. It's also great for polishing (it cleans streak-free), and cleaning counter tops, granite, steel and glass.

It can be reused and washed approximately 200 times, is made of a cotton cellulose blend, and is 100% biodegradable and compostable at the end of its life. 

It's far more hygenic than a sponge and won't crumble or pill. It air dries quickly so it won't breed bacteria or smell.

Stitch, patch, and repair your favorite denim and other clothing with this slow fashion guide for a well-loved wardrobe.

Mending Matters explores sewing on two levels: First, it includes more than 20 hands-on projects that showcase current trends in visible mending that are edgy, modern, and bold—but draw on traditional stitching. It does all this through just four very simple mending techniques: exterior patches, interior patches, slow stitches, darning, and weaving.

In addition, the book addresses the way mending leads to a more mindful relationship to fashion and to overall well-being. In essays that accompany each how-to chapter, Katrina Rodabaugh explores mending as a metaphor for appreciating our own naturally flawed selves, and she examines the ways in which mending teaches us new skills, self-reliance, and confidence, all gained from making things with our own hands.

Gone are the days of buying bulky plastic jugs of laundry detergent, destined for the landfill. These highly concentrated plant-based laundry pods packaged in nothing but a brown cardboard box are here, straight out of your zero waste dreams! Store them in a swing-top jar, and you'll practically want to leave it out on display.

Tough stains, nasty odors, and fading colors are no match for these Stain & Odor laundry detergent pods, in unscented and lavender eucalyptus. These are your laundry detergent superheroes— they pack a powerful stain fighting punch, whiten + brighten, and long lasting freshness wash after wash. 

We also offer sensitive skin laundry detergent pods, and dishwasher detergent pods. 

Each box comes with 28 pods.

Use and care

Use with dry hands only. Add detergent capsule directly into the back of the washer drum BEFORE adding clothes. Do not place in the dispenser drawer.

Do not unwrap or cut open. Pac dissolves completely to release deep cleaning detergent.

Use one pac for regular wash load. For extra large loads or high capacity machines, use 2 pacs. 

General instructions

We recommend you use a soap pouch when using our laundry pods in a cold water cycle with an HE (High Efficiency) machine. The pouch helps the pod dissolve more easily from friction, since Dropps can sometimes not dissolve as well when the washer uses only a small amount of cold water.

To use with a soap pouch, place detergent pod (and laundry additive if applicable) inside the soap pouch and synch closed. Place washing pouch directly into washing machine drum. Load clothes on top. Start cold water wash cycle.

Size

Each box contains 28 laundry pods. One pod per standard load.

The full box weighs approximately 12 oz.

Ingredients

The surfactant in this product is made with a small amount of RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil. We offer palm oil free powder laundry detergent in bulk at our retail location, and are currently looking for plastic-free alternatives that contain no palm oil whatsoever.

The pod membrane is a biodegradable, water soluble film made of polyvinyl alcohol. When the film dissolves in your washer and enters the water stream in microparticles, micro-organisms that commonly exist in nature break down the PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) to water and carbon dioxide.

As many as 55 species of micro-organisms (including bacteria, yeasts and fungi) that are naturally present in water and soils are capable of breaking down PVA. Research has shown that in river water, PVAs take no more than 1 month to break down into their component parts.

Packaging

Comes in a recyclable and compostable cardboard box made partially with post-consumer recycled content.

Origin

Sourced from Dropps, a sustainably-minded company based in Philadelphia, PA, USA, that's reinventing the way we do laundry and dishes.

They offer highly concentrated, biodegradable, plant-based laundry machine and dishwasher detergent pods packaged in recyclable cardboard boxes instead of bulky and wasteful plastic jugs. They don't test on animals, use harsh chemicals, or synthetic fragrances. They help us reduce emissions, save space, and save plastic. And we love them for it!

End of life

These pods naturally biodegrade, and aren't toxic to the environment. Recycle the box when you're finished!

These natural wool dryer balls replace dryer sheets and reduce drying time by about 30%. By bouncing around in the dryer, they create air pockets that maximize air flow, speeding up the drying process. They also reduce wrinkles and static. Comes in a set of 3.

We recommend using at least 3 dryer balls for a normal load of laundry, but you can always add more to increase the benefits! 

You can scent dryer balls with a few drops of essential oils like lavender and eucalyptus for a fresh scent.

Our wool dryer balls are responsibly made from 100% American wool fiber at Echoview Fiber Mill, an environmentally friendly fiber mill in Weaverville, NC. Their mill is Leed Gold Certified 2013, and Living Wage certified.

Use and care

Put three dryer balls in with each load of clothes in the dryer along with your wet laundry. Using them will reduce drying time, soften, and fluff up your clothes, towels and sheets.

Add a few drops of lavender, pine, or any other favorite essential oil to the wool dryer ball before the laundry cycle for an uplifting natural scent!

Don't wash them with your regular load unless you are cleaning them.

To store them between dryer loads, we suggest using a cloth bag or a simple jar or other container in your laundry room.

Materials

100% American felted wool fiber.

Reusable cloth wipes are a simple reusable swap for those who often find themselves reaching for tissues, face wipes, baby wipes, or even, yes, toilet paper. They can be used with water or a diaper solution to create a familiar wet wipe!

These wipes are great to have around for any application such as removing makeup, cleaning off hands, using as a handkerchief, and are a perfect gift for the expecting mama. They are made of 100% cotton flannel and get softer with each wash.

They are also safe in the microwave, so you can use them to cover dishes while cooking.  Each set comes with 12 wipes. The durable but thin fabric allows these wipes to fold up small, making them easy to pack in your bag, and quick drying. 

Absorbency is increased after the first few washes and they are expected to shrink slightly, making them the size of a standard baby wipe.

Charcoal water filters are the plastic-free way to delicious, clean tasting water. Simply place the appropriate size in your water, and let the charcoal get to work filtering out impurities and enhancing the taste of your water. The stick of charcoal bonds with the toxins in tap water and absorbs impurities, while also imparting healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Made by artisans, charcoal filters begin as branches of sustainably harvested oak trees and are placed in a kiln and heated until many days later the dense, glass-like material emerges. This process makes them a fantastic eco friendly water filter. 

One stick lasts four months and can then be used as a deodorizer for your refrigerator or compost pail, or broken up and used to nourish the soil in your garden. It's the only compostable water filter on the market!

Use & care

We recommend adding tap water in the evening for use the next day. Optimal filtration time for 16 oz of water is one hour. A half gallon pitcher should be filtered for 6 - 8 hours, and 3-5 gallon jugs should be filtered for about 48 hours.

To renew, once per month, boil gently in a shallow pan of water for 5 minutes - allow to dry out for 10 minutes before reusing (20 minutes for the largest water jug size). This will open the exterior pores and allow it to keep absorbing toxins.

We do not recommend using the filter in water with fruit in it because the fruit fragments will clog the pores of the stick. Instead, just add Kishu filtered water to your fruit.

A little flaking may occur, but this is not at all harmful to drink and will not affect the filtering process.

Sizes

To go filter for water bottles: 1.25" x 1.25" x 5"

Regular filter for half gallon (1-2 quart) pitchers: 1.5" x 1.5" x 5"

Extra large filter for 3-5 gallon jugs: 1.75" x 1.75" x 5.75"

Materials

Made by artisans using traditional methods, charcoal filters begin as branches of sustainably harvested oak trees and are placed in a kiln and heated to 1000 degrees until many days later the dense, glass-like material emerges.

Packaging

They come in a cardboard box with a informative label that is made from paper that is FSC® Certified, SFI® Certified Sourcing, and Rainforest Alliance Certified™ and printed using the most environmentally friendly process available. Inside the box is a completely biodegradable clear sleeve made from wood pulp. It is 100% compostable.

Origin

Made in Japan by artisans using traditional methods, charcoal filters begin as branches of sustainably harvested oak trees and are placed in a kiln and heated to 1000 degrees until many days later the dense, glass-like material emerges.

We source these filters from Kishu, a wonderfully environmentally conscious company.

End of life

One stick lasts four months and can then be used as a deodorizer for your refrigerator or compost pail, or broken up and used to nourish the soil in your garden. When it is mixed with soil in the garden to create bio-char, or used in the bottom of potted plant for drainage.

Kishu never dissolves in the water itself. It may flake tiny particles, but those are safe to drink. It has a rock like consistency but will eventually biodegrade in soil.

The box and label are recyclable, and the clear sleeve is 100% compostable (remove the sticker before composting).

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.

Note: You may also be interested in our Swedish dishcloths, which are highly absorbent (they hold 20x their weight in water) and a fan favorite for wiping up spills. We love keeping a couple of these on hand in addition to unpaper towels!
