Namibia
Home of the sands and spice
Namib Desert
Home to pristine, colorful landscapes as carefully preserved as their indigenous culture, the Namib desert buzzes with ancient wisdom. Despite the harsh conditions of the desert, its unique plant species, wildlife (such as the cheetah), and people have adapted to coexist and thrive in this environment.
Our Bushman fragrance profile was inspired by the Himba tribe of Namibia, who use the fragrant fallen bark from the desert succulent sarcocaulon mossamedense in incense, as a fire starter, and topically to shield skin and hair from sun damage.
Namibia has made significant efforts in recent years to conserve its unique ecosystems. This dedication to sustainability and preservation aligns with our values of ethical sourcing of ingredients, eco-friendly practices, and conservation efforts. Proceeds from every Bushman sale support our Impact partner, the Cheetah Conservation Fund.

Bamboo Forests
The Bamboo Forest Collection is inspired by the enduring therapeutic qualities of bamboo salt. Made from sea salt packed and roasted in bamboo stems at very high temperatures for up to three years (depositing rich magnesium), bamboo salt is known for its purifying and healing properties.
Beginning in Korean monasteries centuries ago, therapeutic rituals for skin are still performed with bamboo salt today to rebalance the body's energy and call in the frequency of transformation.
Master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel developed our Bamboo Forest fragrance to recreate this olfactory experience for our detoxifying bath ritual and environment-cleansing candle. Proceeds from our Bamboo Forest Collection support One Tree Planted, to preserve the forests where these practices originate.

Peru
Home of shamanic healing
Amazon Rainforest
Home to shamans deeply connected to the rainforest and its biodiversity, we celebrate plants and natural remedies explored in ancestral healing practices to facilitate deep shifts in the New Year.
The ancient practice of shamanism believes that plants have spirits and that the spirit can be a strong medicine. For centuries, before Palo Santo was introduced to North America, it was used by shamans to clear negative energy, attract positive energy, re-establish peace and balance, enhance concentration and meditation, and heal people on physical and spiritual levels.
The spirit of the Palo Santo tree carries a wisdom that enables the smoke of just a tiny piece of wood to heal people physically, emotionally and spiritually. This spirit must be respected, however, and never misused. This is one of the reasons that the tree cannot be cut down and we must wait years after it has fallen on its own to harvest it.
Proceeds from sales of our Shaman products contribute to the sustainable harvesting of Palo Santo.
