Booda organics

Made in Bellingham, WA

Product Details

All Day Zen Fresh! With the power of pure, organic ingredients found only in nature, this blissful coconut cream deodorant effectively neutralizes body odor and promotes dryness! The gentle formula works by creating an alkaline environment that naturally reduces odor-causing bacteria. The result is soft, happy underarms and a fresh, clean feeling that lasts all day!

Your armpits work hard to get toxins OUT and remember that ‘What goes ON your skin, also goes IN’! This is why they believe it is so important to only put the purest ingredients in this most delicate part of your body. Their cream is gentle, yet it REALLY WORKS! It is NOT sticky, tacky, or greasy! It spreads smoothly, leaving you dry and powder fresh. And feel good knowing that it’s sustainably packaged too!

PURE • POWERFUL • GENTLE • LONG-LASTING • NAKED COCONUT (UNSCENTED)

Ingredients: Pure Baking Soda, Shea Butter*, Organic Tapioca Flour, Virgin Coconut Oil* & Cocoa Butter* (*Certified Organic & Fair Trade).

Made with Certified Organic Butters & Oils • Non-GMO Verified • Non-NANO • Cruelty-Free • Vegan • 100% Pure • Soy, Bee & Gluten Free • Wax-Free •   No Added Fragrance • Handmade with Love

NO Aluminum, Alcohol, Parabens, Phalates, Sulfates, Synthetics, Chemicals, Propolene Glycol or any other funky stuff!

Use & Care

To use: Melt a pea-sized amount between fingers or palms and gently massage into underarms (preferably after bathing). It smells so yummy and feels so creamy that you will be tempted to use a large amount, but please note that a little goes a long way and lasts all day! In fact, applying too much cream could actually cause a baking soda irritation in some sensitive individuals. The size of a small pea should do the trick!

…more ways to use: Enjoy the subtle naked coconut aroma or experiment with some of your favorite essential oils! Rub into any other stinky body parts such as feet! Soothe bee stings or bug bites! Help sanitize hands on the go! Great for camping! And please let us know if you discover more ways to enjoy…

Storage: The consistency is BEST when stored at room temperature! It will be harder when cold and can melt naturally when heated.

PLEASE NOTE
:
Store at Room Temperature!
!! Booda Butter Deodorant Cream is made without any wax or emulsifiers, so much like a bar of chocolate, it will melt when heated and harden when cooled. If your deodorant cream melts, simply give it a quick stir and place it back at room temperature or in the fridge to re-harden. Please do not leave in a hot car or direct sunlight! External use only.

About the Founders

The founders began creating their own body care products out of a desire to purify and simplify their lives. Using organic, unrefined ingredients found ONLY in nature not only brought them peace of mind, but they quickly realized that they truly work! In 2010, they began joyfully sharing their natural creations with family and friends, only to be gratefully received. And shortly thereafter, with a big heart and open arms, Booda Organics was born and cofounded in love! They remain a family-run business fueled by the smell of cocoa and love letters from their boodaful customers. Their facility in Bellingham, Washington is filled with smiles and excitement for what lies ahead.

About the Company

Your skin is your body’s largest vital organ and has the tough job of protecting your insides from harmful viruses, pollution, and bacteria. But we often forget that what we choose to put on our skin — from cosmetics to even laundry detergents — does not stay on the surface. In fact, it has been shown that our skin absorbs at least 60% of the products we use! And these products are then dumped directly into our circulatory system. What a great reason to only use the purest, food-grade ingredients! We choose organic, non-GMO, raw, vegan, whole, and high vibration — only the best stuff to love yourself from head to toe! And just as importantly, we do not use anything harmful. This means NO fillers, fragrances, artificial chemicals, preservatives, additives, parabens, alcohol, petroleum, emulsifiers, or anything else undesirable for you or your loved ones. Just 100% powerfully pure and gentle ingredients found ONLY in nature.

We may only be one small company, but we feel that through conscious business practices, we can do our part to Spread the Love and help create a more peaceful, loving world to live in. Kindness, compassion, and awareness are our responsibility! We feel so honored to create these pure products for healthy, happy people and the planet! And it’s our wish to continue growing our business deeply rooted in love. Thank you so much for your support!

CBD Bath Fizzie

Clearly Balanced Days

Made in Belmont, NH

Product Details

Relax+Unwind: Breathe a sigh of relief as sweet orange, tangerine, patchouli, ylang ylang, and rosemary essential oils bring your mind and body the deepest relaxation.

A soak in the tub is the perfect way to relax – as long as you don’t stop to think too much about the harsh chemicals seeping into your pores from your bubble bath. What a buzzkill, right? Don’t worry –  Clearly Balanced Days is here to save the day.

Each Fizzy Disc bath bomb is infused with 100mg of broad-spectrum hemp extract and ingredients chosen to balance, soften, and harmonize with your skin, not strip it.

Even artificial fragrance oils can damage your skin, which is one of the reasons they choose essential oils instead – they smell amazing and, as a bonus, have therapeutic applications too!

Use & Care

Drop the disc in the tub with your favorite water temp. Relax and enjoy. Try not to soak much more than 20 minutes, so you don’t re-absorb any toxins your body has rid itself of.

Same for a foot soak, but break the disc into quarters to make it last longer. Use one quarter per soak. 

About the Owner

Tina White is a woman who wears many hats (literally and figuratively – she has quite a collection). As the owner of Clearly Balanced Days, she is the head coach, team captain, and biggest (and smallest) cheerleader. She is not just a “boss” she is a leader who pushes her employees to work hard but also to have fun and embrace who they are and what they bring to the team as individuals. She prides herself on being resourceful, resilient, and always willing to learn from any job she has had – qualities they benefit from as a team every day.

Her resiliency was tested in 2017 when her 16-year-old son, Alec, lost his battle with depression. Since then, Tina has used Clearly Balanced Days to stay motivated, help others, and celebrate Alec’s legacy by spreading awareness about mental health and suicide prevention.

About the Company

Since creating Clearly Balanced Days in 2017, its goal was to provide the best CBD available and provide people with the most up-to-date and accurate information about CBD, the CBD industry, the endocannabinoid system, and how it works in our bodies.

The staff at Clearly Balanced Days are all very unique. Still, they have one important thing in common: dedication to working every day to ensure people (and pets!) receive the best products for their needs and have the necessary tools and information to empower them to take charge of their wellness journeys.

There is so much more to Clearly Balanced Days than just selling CBD products – the heart of the company is a passionate and empathetic commitment to helping others physically and mental wellness. Their team has been impacted by mental illness on a personal level, so having this work be part of a loved one’s legacy and hearing how people benefit from their products keeps them motivated to maintain their high standards for quality and continuous improvement.

In 2019, Clearly Balanced Days partnered with SLC Group Holdings so that they can continue to grow, but they remain a small, family-based company, with each team member personally invested in the company and the goals of producing quality products, spreading awareness, and helping people restore balance in multiple ways.

About the Founder

eco-friendly-product-creator-GloriaMeet Gloria Starita
Founder and CEO of Jade & Pearl 

When thinking of Gloria, the quote “well-behaved women rarely make history” comes to mind. Never afraid to push boundaries, Gloria earned her master’s degree in Psychology/Sociology and African American Studies at SUNY, helping to integrate African American Studies as the first Caucasian female enrolled in the program and through her teaching work in inner-city schools. After attaining her Ph.D. in African American Urban Studies, Gloria worked her way up to become the first female executive at Capitol Cable Vision, now Time Warner. Gloria then bought a farm in New York where she could raise her four children with her goats, chickens, and plenty of fresh vegetables.

In 1972, due to medical issues, Gloria began researching personal care products. Seeing the need for natural alternatives to products containing synthetic materials and harsh chemicals, Gloria started her first company selling sea sponges through local co-ops. In the mid-’70s, Gloria moved to Florida where natural sponges were plentiful. Moving first to Micanopy and then to Gainesville, Gloria helped found the Hog Town Grainery Co-op, managing the juice bar there while continuing to develop her sponge business with the willing spongers of Tarpon Springs, who believed in her cause.

In addition to running a thriving sponge business, Gloria became adept at making healthy vegetarian meals, through her work as a personal chef for a disabled University of Florida Shands surgeon and his family. Her love for providing healthy food blossomed into opening the first juice bar at the Gainesville Regional Airport. Always busy, Gloria also began cooking at the Blue Plate restaurant several nights per week.  Sharing her passion for quality food and good nutrition, she eventually bought the restaurant, turning it into the iconic Magic Mushroom where customers could enjoy her wonderful vegetarian and vegan meals.

Gloria moved from Gainesville to Hawthorne with the desire to pursue a more rural lifestyle. Once again medical issues, this time caused by deer flies and mosquito bites, spurred her innovative nature. Gloria began experimenting with insect repelling essential oils leading to the development of her all-natural insect repellent Beat It!, which has now been available to the public for almost forty years.

About the Company

Jade & Pearl is an ever-evolving company that creates natural products and unique reusable, recyclable, and sustainable gifts.

Gloria, the Founder, and CEO of Jade & Pearl is continuously developing new products, always seeing the need for natural alternatives. Recently creating MaskerAid, their all-natural Mask Freshener, and reintroducing Happy Hands, their alcohol-free Hand and Surface Spray. Through Gloria’s thoughtful inventive ambition, Jade & Pearl has grown to become an ever-evolving company, creating all-natural products for these ever-changing times.

About the Founder

Andrea

Owner and Founder, Andrea Johnson, has a severe soy allergy, and as we know, it is in nearly everything. Soy derivatives hide within store-made bread, perfumes, and even herbals teas.

Her garden is organic; zero pesticides are used, just mother nature. All bottles are sterilized and blessed.

She is proud of her one-woman show and the oils she creates. Although each one has a sliver of her soul, she will scrap it and start again if she’s not happy with a blend. She will never put out a subpar product. Ever. When she says her oils are pure, she means it. Zero alcohol, water, or crazy words you can’t pronounce. Not all oil perfumes and colognes are created equal. Know what you are putting on your skin.the-rustic-woman-&-apothecary-logo

About the Founder

Green Tree’s Founder, Lance Nybye Jr., started pondering the idea of creating puzzles when his wife and business partner, Autumn, asked him to do puzzles for their son with autism to help with visual reception and fine motor skills. Lance was inspired to design puzzles after crafting a giant puzzle for their son’s school art auction. Since Lance’s father started Green Tree’s parent company over 30 years ago using the same jigsaw machine used to create puzzles, it’s only fitting that Green Tree supplies puzzles today.

    About the Founders

    Jenn and Laith are a husband and wife team, passionate about nature and earth-friendly living. 

    Through J&L Naturals, they hope to make sustainable and ethical living easier and more accessible to people. You won’t have to choose between the planet and your products.

    HOW THEY STARTED…

    Jenn dealt with chronic acne for 15 years. After countless failed attempts to improve her condition using commercial antibiotics and topicals, she felt devastated and decided to try less conventional methods.

    She fell down a rabbit hole of learning about natural healing. Eventually, she deeply understood her condition and how certain natural ingredients could affect it. She ended up trying a natural face salve, and lo and behold — it worked better than anything she had ever tried. Yes, including expensive serums and medical treatments!

    Shortly after, Laith developed a rash on his underarms from deodorants made with harsh chemicals. So she thought, ‘could I try the same nature-based approach?’ She experimented with an aluminum-free deodorant, which worked like a miracle! This was their lightbulb moment.

    Proud of their handmade, natural creations, they began making products for their friends and families,, each according to their unique skin types. But as they began to produce more batches, they noticed another problem: the plastic containers that started accumulating.

    They realized that appreciating natural ingredients goes hand in hand with caring for nature, so they decided to do something about it! J&L Naturals is their way of harnessing the best of nature to help others while also helping the earth.

    About the Company

    The founders are firm believers that this planet has everything we need. That’s why they focus only on natural, simple ingredients. No sneaky chemicals. No unnecessary fragrances. And nothing else that shouldn’t be in products in the first place. 

    They also believe it’s not enough to just take from nature — you have to care for it too. At every step of their business, they’re committed to practicing sustainability and responsibility — from zero-waste containers to partnering with eco-conscious manufacturers. 

    They are big on Sustainability

    The founders follow these 5 main principles:

    1. Refuse – Just say no to unnecessary waste. This can take time and practice, but making smarter purchasing decisions, setting standards, and having higher expectations can make it much easier.
    2. Reduce – Less is more. Reducing the dependency on harmful, wasteful, and non-recyclable products results in less waste in landfills and our environment.
    3. Reuse – Think before you throw away. Single-use plastics have created somewhat of a “throw-away” culture. Instead, re-use what you can as much as it can be reused.
    4. Repurpose – Let the creative juices flow. Give those weird, random things a second life or another purpose. Once you know what to look for, the possibilities are truly endless.
    5. Recycle – Last but not least! Once you have gone through the above items, it’s time to part ways. Make sure to recycle—this is the most environmentally-friendly waste disposal method.

    Regarding sustainability in their business, they carried over these same principles.

    No detail left behind, no corners cut, just simple, natural eco-friendly alternatives to the products out there today.

    Face Toner

    meow-meow-tweet-face-toner

    meow meow tweet

    Made in Brooklyn, NY

    Product Details

    Geranium Palmarosa Face Toner is a balancing toner that works for all skin types but is especially helpful for oily and combination skin.

    A good toner is foundational. It’s like using really good olive oil or salt when you’re cooking—the final dish will be much better and more delicious. It might seem somewhat unnecessary to add that little mist or gel to your face before your “real” hero (face oil! skin balm!) goes on—but toner is one of the most supportive and beneficial things you can do to put on your face. It makes all of the other ingredients sing and has beneficial properties in its own right.

    Use & Care

    Spritz on a clean face before applying oil or balm when getting ready for day or night.

    About the Founders

    Meow Meow Tweet was founded in Brooklyn in 2009 by Tara Pelletier (she/they) and Jeff Kurosaki (they/them).

    The pair, who met in art school in Michigan, possess an innate openness and curiosity that led them to wonder why a gift of handmade soap left their skin feeling so much better than a commercial bar. Together, they set out to learn everything they could about making soap at home. The result was a creamy, skin-nourishing formula that received accolades from family & friends. Bolstered by the positive feedback, they went on to found their all-natural vegan apothecary Meow Meow Tweet, named for their two beloved cats and Jeff’s bird.

    From soap to natural insect repellant and deodorant cream to a complete facial regime, Meow Meow Tweet is committed to creating pure, all-natural, plant and mineral-based formulas. Drawing on Tara’s background as a chef and herbalist, all goods are developed as if they were modern culinary dishes. All packaging features whimsical illustrations by Jeff.

    Along with Meow Meow Tweet, Tara and Jeff work together as a collaborative artist team, where they create sculptures, music, and performances. The team relocated to the Hudson Valley in the beautiful Catskill Mountains during the winter of 2015. Surrounded by nature, they continue to find inspiration to infuse into their art, and their cherished brand.

    About the Company

    Meow Meow Tweet is a vegan personal care company for everybody. They are ethical, low-waste, handmade, and cruelty-free.

    They create all products in small batches.
