Sometimes it’s good to keep things simple, and a bar of soap is as simple as it gets. Soap isn’t glamorous. It’s humble, reliable, and in its very nature, plastic free. 

As nature lovers, we feel more than a little envious of dog’s noses. Imagine being able to experience so much more of the natural world...

Laundry - love it or hate it, we all have to do it. Actually, it’s such a part of our everyday, we can easily forget the pressure it puts on the planet. We’ve found a few easy ways to lower the impact of our laundry days.

Orange and seaweed are two ingredients that have been with us from the start — but they weren’t chosen at random. Rivka turned to them for her first formulations because they're  like little medicine cabinets for your skin and hair.
