Earthwise Beauty started with a passion for natural, organic skin care products that are, first and foremost, lovingly made by hand. They believe that there is something special about a product that is made by one devoted craftsperson from start to finish, one small batch at a time. Second, their formulas are truly effective because they are based on centuries-old herbal recipes using unprocessed, natural ingredients such as cold-pressed, unrefined plant oils, aromatherapy-grade essential oils and freshly brewed herbs.

PRODUCT

Earthwise Beauty Green Leaves and Co. Organic Facial Oil is a fully absorbent, refreshing, creamy-velvety facial oil that heals and prevents acne breakouts in the gentlest of ways. Thyme acts as an antimicrobial, rosemary regenerates skin cells and reverses wrinkles, clementine leaf regulates oil secretion & French Haute-Provence lavender plus violet leaf reverses signs of aging. All this in a cold-processed, cruelty-free, 100% natural, preservative-free base. (Vegan)

Sweetriot is building a sweet movement to fix the world (through chocolate)!  Their goal is to create a more just and celebrated multicultural world for our next generation.  They’ve started by sourcing their cacao directly in Latin America, working very hard to find a partner in South America with a strong track record of social responsibility and a commitment to fair trade.  They use recyclable, reusable packaging which features emerging artists, and only use premium, high quality all-natural, healthy ingredients for their dark chocolate ‘peaces.’  Their product – cacao – which comes from the most healthy & magical fruit in the world, is a slow food, not a fast food and they’re proud of that.

S.W. Basics likes to call themselves “no-frills skincare.” This doesn’t just mean they cut out crazy synthetic chemicals, it also means they leave out trendy, exotic botanicals & luxury fillers. Instead, they use the fewest possible ingredients for effective skincare, supporting one of their mantras, “Simplicity is the essence of awesome”. Products are made simpler for good reason: fewer ingredients means higher potency and less chance of irritation, making them ideal for super-sensitive skin. To boot, all of S.W. Basics’ ingredients are either certified organic, Fair Trade or sourced from small, family farms allowing them to boast truly all natural, sustainable skincare.

PRODUCT

S.W. Basics Vegan Lip Balm is just as awesome as the original for all the same reasons, but it’s made with plant based Candelilla wax instead of beeswax.
