Materials

Bamboo, metal, and depending on the palette, a plastic window or a mirror.

These compacts and palettes are created from bamboo. Unlike most timber, bamboo is a self-regenerating natural resource, meaning new shoots appear annually to ensure production continues after individual culms are harvested. This creates sustainable supplies for the wood and cellulose industries. 

Bamboo is used for many ecological purposes, including soil stabilization and erosion prevention on hills and verges. It’s also harvested from existing natural forests, plantations and mixed agroforestry systems, meaning bamboo silvicultural is an option for conserving and protecting tropical forests long into the future.

Packaging

None.

Origin

Sourced from a woman owned and local company, located in Victoria, BC. Made in China.

End of life

Reuse and refill this product again and again. If necessary, bamboo is biodegradable and other parts can be removed and recycled or landfilled.

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.

The Elate vegan, cruelty-free and sustainable brush collection adds the tools you need to your beauty ritual arsenal. These brushes move and distribute makeup products precisely and evenly, for longer-lasting wear with less product.

The bristles are made with Taklon, a high quality synthetic alternative to animal fur. Taklon is non-porous, naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic, and dries faster than conventional brushes. The ferrule is made of high-grade aluminum and bound to the sustainable bamboo handle with an Eco-resin based glue.

Wash brushes weekly for best results. To wash, swirl the bristles in a mixture of soap, vinegar, and warm water in a small bowl, until the makeup is free from the bristles. Use your fingers to work out of the bristles if needed. Refresh the mixture when it becomes very cloudy. Rinse with water, pat to dry, and store with bristles pointed down to dry.

Himalyan pink salt fine grade is one of our favorite ingredients to use in DIY skin care as well as using as a seasoning on our favorite foods. The salt is rich in nutrients and a reported 84 trace minerals. It’s considered one of the purest salts in the world as it is virtually free of pollutants and toxins.
We love himalyan pink salt to make a DIY face scrub as the salts are great for exfoliating and moisturizing dry skin. It is important to exfoliate because it helps to remove dead skin from the surface and reduces pores and wrinkles.

Instructions

A DIY face scrub that we recommend :

• 1 cup fine grade himalyan pink salt
• ½ cup of oil(s) of choice ( we recommend grapeseed oil as it's good for all skin types and has numerous fatty acids and won’t clog pores or cause breakouts)
• 10-20 drops of essential oils of choice.

First mix the oil of choice with the essential oils. Mix until all the salts are covered in oil, but not swimming in oil. Store in any jar of choice. When ready to use, grab a little bit on your fingers and rub in a circular motion on your face. Then rinse with warm water and washcloth.
