As consumers, it can be overwhelming to make conscious decisions about the types of companies we want to support.

We want to give our business to companies that create clean and effective products AND support our values.

But how do you know what to look for?

The beauty and textile industries are some of the hardest to navigate, as products are often loaded with chemicals, overproduction creates large amounts of waste, and many garment workers are underpaid and have poor working conditions.
