Here’s a roundup of our favorite sustainable brands that give back so you can shop for the holidays knowing that you’re supporting brands and businesses that are good for the planet!

And our favorite part… Saie is Climate Neutral Certified, Leaping Bunny Certified, Plastic Negative Certified and members of 1% for the Planet, meaning they donate 1% of all sales to that support addressing urgent environmental issues. 

Our favorite product is their liquid lip balm. It’s an award-winning makeup MUST HAVE!

They have a great collection of clothes, accessories, and winter wear. “Unlike other companies who purchase pre-made fabric, we partner directly with mills to develop our own fabrics that are sustainable, soft, and stand the test of time.
