We'll be adding more detailed information soon about our efforts in keeping our side of the street clean:
including offsetting carbon, our subscription to our local alternative energy program (Green Choice),
becoming signatories to the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, and our support of local green programs, printing all
packaging and correspondence on 100% post-consumer waste paper and using vegetable-based inks, and using
easily re-usable containers (and avoiding adhesives where possible) for packaging. We also joined COOP
America. If you have specific questions, please email us.  For now, we're keeping our description of the way
we do everything, simple:

  • Find the best, purest ingredients + artisans.   Look locally first.  

  • Happy people make products that make people happy.  Everyone belongs to our tribe, deserves dignity
    and respect - a product can benefit everyone who participates.

  • Take care of the planet so it can keep taking care of us.  Celebrate nature's integral beauty.

  • Have nothing to hide.  Be transparent, and if something is not obvious, clarify and educate.

  • We get.  We give.  A portion of the profits from our babyface pillowcase got to places that give youths
    a second chance - The Covenant House, LifeWorks Austin.  In 2009 we'll join 1% for the Planet.
