Sustainability
The Pacific is a neighbor.
We treat it like one.
We are a small business and we will not pretend otherwise. These are the specific decisions we have made — and the trade-offs they involve.
Packaging
Sheets ship in unbleached kraft mailers. Stain bars wrap in compostable kraft tied with cotton string. Liquids ship in returnable amber glass or refillable aluminum. Zero virgin plastic touches our products.
Shipping
Every order leaves Goleta via Sendle, which is the first 100% carbon-neutral parcel carrier in the United States. We pay the offset — it is included in the price you see.
Refills
Empty an aluminum bottle? Mail back the cap and pump in our pre-paid envelope and we send a refill at 20% off, in a flat-pack pouch that fits in your mailbox.
Ocean partnerships
We give 1% of revenue, audited annually, to Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and the Surfrider Foundation. In 2024 that was $14,820.

An honest caveat.
We are not perfect. Our essential oils travel from France and Italy. Our coconut surfactant comes from the Philippines. Until a domestic supply chain exists for those, we offset what we can and tell you the truth about what we cannot. Real change usually arrives in the imperfect middle, not at either extreme.
