Camamu

Portland, OR

Over a decade ago, two friends — Lori Basson & Sarah Hanna — tried making soap. After much hard work, experimentation, and a large inventory of soap curing in their basement, Camamu was born. All of their soaps are still lovingly handmade, in keeping with their commitment to artisan production methods. Always all-natural, Camamu soaps are formulated to provide superlative care to the skin.

Alaffia

Olympia, WA

Alaffia makes some of the finest shea butter products in the world.

They’re also making a big difference for the women of Togo, West Africa, who face staggering rates of unemployment. “In Togo, women’s skills were not deemed worthy of the workplace,” says Alaffia’s Togo-born founder, Olowo-n'djo Tchala. “We wanted to create gender empowerment by using women’s traditional knowledge.”

That traditional knowledge—the pounding, heating, and blending of the shea nut to make shea butter—just happens to create a superior product. Unlike stark white “refined” shea butter, Alaffia’s rich golden shea reaches us in its natural state—with all of its natural antioxidants intact.

Wild Carrot Herbals

Enterprise, OR

A fifth-generation Oregonian and committed organic farmer, Jody Berry launched Wild Carrot Herbals after years spent developing body products to nourish her own sun-weathered skin. We love that Wild Carrot Herbals continues to provide our customers with handcrafted, environmentally friendly products made of plant-based ingredients, directly from the Pacific Northwest. Home Grown, indeed!
