5 Ethical, Natural, Women & PoC-Owned Brands to Shop this Season (with discounts just for you!)
It's Cyber Monday today, and this time, we're switching things up in an exciting way. We'd like to introduce you to some of our favorite ethical and natural brands (owned by women & PoC!) to make shopping consciously easier this season. Scroll on for gift ideas and exclusive discounts:
Elements Truffles is an Ayurveda inspired line of clean chocolates that taste good and does good - for the body, mind and community.
We met the Elements Truffles team four years ago when they had just quit their high-pressure Wall Street jobs to pursue their passion (something we can get behind!) of making delicious Ayurvedic chocolates that give back (25% of profits go to support education programs for youth in India). They care deeply about how their ingredients are made and even partnered with us to supply some of their moringa powder. Our pick? Maple Toffee with Moringa Chocolate, of course!

2. Kazi Goods
Beautiful, and hand-woven crafts for your home from all over Africa!
All of Kazi’s products are handwoven by artisans in Africa. Materials are locally sourced and organically dyed. When you purchase and enjoy their handcrafted goods, you are creating opportunities for men and women across Africa to thrive. Our favorite items: just about everything in their Holiday Collection - one of each, please!

3. Kuli Kuli
Kuli Kuli makes superfood snacks, tea, and smoothie mix-ins starring ethically sourced moringa leaf powder as a key ingredient.
Did you know that gram for gram, moringa leaves contain more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk, and more protein than yogurt? Moringa is known locally in Ghana as “the miracle tree” because just about every part of the tree has a use. We turn the seeds from moringa trees into oil for hair and skin care and partner with great companies like Kuli Kuli to turn the nutrient-rich leaves into delicious and nutritious moringa-powered treats. We recommend the lemongrass moringa tea - grown on our farm and packaged by our team in Ghana!

4. Piper Wai
A 100% all-natural deodorant that forms an invisible and absorbent shield on your underarms to neutralize odor and protect your clothes from perspiration.
When making the switch to clean beauty, deodorant is often the last thing to find a natural dupe for because - let’s face it - it’s really hard to find one that works. When we met the Piper Wai team two years ago, we were instantly won over. Not only have they created a product that smells amazing and actually keeps you feeling fresh all day long, they care deeply about ethical sourcing and natural ingredients. Our team favorite: the natural deodorant cream!

Stock up lip whips (nourishing lip balm with a sheer coat of color), all-purpose moisturizing oils to fight dry winter skin and our 3 Step Skincare Kit at the lowest prices of the year. Perfect for stocking stuffers, secret santa exchanges, or for that one person who has everything. Best of all, each order plants a moringa tree in your name.
