frequently asked questions
how do you ship responsibly?
A handful of local stores pass along their boxes and packaging materials for me to reuse. Reuse is always better than recycle! Your box may look a little worn on the outside, but the inside will be full of your beautiful products.
Additionally, a tree is planted for every order shipped. This not only offsets well beyond the shipping carbon emissions for your order but also helps restore at-risk ecosystems, protect endangered species, improve soil stability and ultimately increase food supply and the overall well-being for us all.
what is the best way to store my soaps before using them?
It's best to store your soaps in a cool, dry place (so a bathroom that often gets hot and humid isn't actually ideal) and if possible keep them in a cardboard box. This helps preserve the scent but doesn't trap moisture as your bars will continue to release some moisture and become harder for a time, which also makes them last longer!
Or, for great smelling clothes, use the age old trick of keeping a bar or two in your dresser drawers!
how does local pick up work?
Once you receive your email confirming your order is ready for pick up, come by any day/time! All the details you'll need to know will be in your email.
Your order can be found in the fridge cooler by the front door. Quick pick up is appreciated.
