An immense amount of thought is given to how the salon is operated, the services offered, and the options of products that are used and retailed. The team takes pride in finding and customizing products with easily recognized ingredients, eliminating toxins, and integrating wellness in your beauty routine. The salon was founded by Melissa Parker and Easton Bajsec in 2010. The young women wanted to offer an approachable and welcoming experience to both guests of the business and employees. As best friends who are hairdressing professionals, we had the desire to make a difference in the beauty industry towards conscious consumption and found ourselves progressing as individuals, becoming increasingly concerned about the industry’s impact on the environment. The beauty industry is full of caring, creative, and service-minded individuals. We need those people to have a desire to make a difference and to stop buying into big businesses selling them greenwashed products. We will be the first to admit that we were part of that herd, truly thinking we were doing what was best. The question is, how do we continue to push further? |

| Coastal Calm Yoga Co | California, USA | United States | Yoga accessories- Cork yoga blocks, cork journals, therapy balls and organic cotton straps. | At Coastal Calm Yoga Co. we believe in using sustainable materials. Why Cork is Good for You: Cork is naturally grippy and antibacterial. This makes it perfect for yoga blocks and mats. It is biodegradable and recyclable. Why Cork is Good for the Planet: Cork grows mostly in the Mediterranean and is a renewable material that only uses the outer bark of the tree. The tree bark will regrow in 9-12 years. While it is growing it removes CO2 from the atmosphere. These trees can live up to 200 years. The cork forest is home to many species including hares, weasels, wolves, wild boar, deer, and the Iberian Lynxes. Using cork from the forest helps preserve the habitat for these animals. |
