Packaging

We're being as environmentally conscious as we can think to be. And, we aspire to learn more and get a little better every year!

At the moment, we use:

• Food-safe, reusable, and recyclable metal tins made by Specialty Bottle in Seattle to hold the lotion bars, salves, balms, and lip balms. The salves, balms, and lip balm containers have screw-top lids, so the lid doesn't easily slide off if it lives in your purse or backpack for a while. The lotion bars have a slip-off lid, and given that they melt easily at body temperature, they should never be stored in a hot car or hot anywhere else. 
• Molded recycled fiber pulp boxes and a small paper wrap and stick-on labels to wrap our soaps, shampoo bars, dish soap bars, dog shampoo bars, and shower steamers. Boxes are created by Sustainable Packaging Industries (SPI) and are plastic-free, made from recycled cardboard, and are reusable, recyclable, and compostable. 
• Reusable glass bottles with metal tops from Specialty Bottle in Seattle and reusable glass bottles with metal roller balls and a plastic top by Zenith Supplies in Seattle to hold the body and massage oils.
  
• Shipping. For shipping, we use recycled cardboard boxes (some from EcoSwift, Tailored Packaging, and Amazon, and many are recycled boxes we've received from others), reused paper (mostly from our Specialty Bottle orders) and gifted reused paper from friends.
