Ethos

SUSTAIN THE ONE WHO SUSTAINS YOU.

"Know the ways of the ones that take care of you, so that you may take care of them. Introduce yourself. Be accountable as the one who comes asking for life. Ask permission before taking. Abide by the answer. Never take the first. Never take the last. Take only what you need. Take only that which is given. Never take more than half. Leave some for others. Harvest in a way that minimizes harm. Use it respectfully. Never waste what you have taken. Share. Give thanks for what you have been given. Give a gift, in reciprocity for what you have taken. Sustain the one who sustains you and the earth will last forever.” -Robin Wall Kimmer

PRODUCTION INTEGRITY

A formulation of a aromatic remedy begins as a response to life. As the formula takes shape, vitality and integrity become the focus. All formulas are created within the scope of Clinical Holistic Aromatherapy. Formulas are researched and the natural chemical properties are examined to enhance their therapeutic quality.

Natural materials are either grown, wild tended, or purchased from company partnerships that are environmentally focused and aligned. Our products are uncompromisingly organic, except for a couple of rare absolute floral extracts; in this case, the high therapeutic benefit of these aromas are clinically proven, and there are no available organically grown substitutions. Aromatic products are produced in limited quantities to ensure the highest vitality, potency, and life force of the plant extracts. Sustainable purchasing and production are important to us. Products are sealed in beautiful, reusable, biophotonic violet glass bottles that help prevent the oxidization of natural materials. Labels are printed locally on paper. Waste materials are composted, and production tools are reusable or biodegradable.

Tried and true traditional natural dye processes are used in the silk studio. Raw materials are composted and natural dye materials do not interfere with local water sources. Silks are hand washed with natural soap and hung to air dry.

ONE TREE PLANTED

We care deeply about the planet and creating a business that gives back to nature. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’re partnering with One Tree Planted/@onetreeplanted to plant a tree for every item sold. Trees clean our air and water, create habitats for biodiversity, contribute to our health and wellbeing, and create jobs for social impact. We’re honored to have reforestation through One Tree Planted as an integral part of our business model.

Our contributions are focused on reforestation in beautiful British Columbia. B.C.'s rich forest diversity includes more than 40 different species of native trees, with some of Canada's most interesting and valuable tree species. Coniferous, or softwood, species such as pine, spruce, fir, hemlock, and western red cedar are predominant in close to 90 percent of B.C.’s forests. To maximize the impact of your donation, our partner will determine the most appropriate species of tree to plant, depending on the time of year.

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity. Many projects have overlapping objectives, creating a combination of benefits that contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. To learn more, visit onetreeplanted.org
