ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE

Clean skin care should have a clean conscience. But that is not always the case. The commercial skincare industry is ridden with obscurity and exploitation driven by a broken "profitability at all costs" business model. Some of the world’s most coveted skincare ingredients grow in the regions where they are needed most - serving as a valuable source of income to local communities. However, far too often local growers, farmers and harvesters are robbed of this value. One of the problems is the middlemen who drive down the prices. We flip this model on its head by buying directly from local farmers, harvesters and communities you can trace. Growing sustainably means working responsibly in our sourcing, production and across our value chain, to ensure that the bulk of the value remains in the birthplace of our products. To achieve this, we work closely with local communities, commit to low tech processing and working in small batches. This approach minimizes waste, helps build meaningful relationships with our local farmers and suppliers and allows us to create truly authentic, high quality products with minimum impact on the environment.
