OUR APPROACH

Local

  • Source locally produced ingredients whenever possible
  • Limit the use of materials that have made trans-oceanic voyages
  • Build relationships with local primary producers; partner with those who have an approach similar to our own

Natural

  • Include only natural ingredients in our formulations; no synthetic scents, colours, or additives
  • Follow all guidelines for the safe use of natural ingredients
  • Grow our own natural ingredients whenever possible in our own pollinator-friendly garden

Sustainable

  • Minimize packaging and eliminate excess packaging; where packaging is necessary, use materials that are reused/able, recycled/able, or green-bin-able
  • Refuse to package in plastic, even bioplastic, which is often a source of confusion
  • Consult the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development when making operations decisions
