We are an indie makeup brand that’s setting a new standard. Non-toxic, cruelty-free ingredients are just a starting point.

We believe "clean" should also mean a clean package. This is why we created the first makeup in a compostable package.

🙄 I recently heard this in a TV commercial for a nutritional product. It’s nonsense. Misleading statements like this spread disinformation about understanding ingredient names. Here’s why:
* In order to be globally compliant, cosmetic ingredients must be labeled in accordance with INCI requirements.
* INCI nomenclature is much like species identification, it’s not always easy to pronounce a scientific name

Are you surprised by these official ingredient names?

Always plastic-free, vegan, and cruetly-free.

Happy to everyone just starting their journey and every creator and maker who has made this their life’s work. Our health and the health of our planet is a worth fighting for everyday. We believe clean makeup means clean packaging too (zero plastics).

Who else does a happy dance when you find an awesome zero waste swap?

This palette checks all the boxes — a lux, ethical formula in a plastic-free, up-cycled cork and paper package.

What’s your favorite ZW swap?

Swatch you doin’?

Thanks to our friends for showing us their arm swatch love. Swipe to see the palette on varied skin tones.

What's better than wine? A package that's made from upcycled wine corks.

Did you know that cork is just the bark of the tree and harvesting it doesn't kill the tree? Cork harvesting actually encourages the tree to absorb 70x more carbon in it's regrowth phase.

As if that wasn't rad enough, our cork is actually made from upcycled waste from wine-corking making.

No trees chopped, no waste wasted. Cheers to that!

Oh, just sittin' here being all planty.

Did you know exactly zero trees were cut down to make our cork and paper packaging? Our cork palette is made from upcycled wine cork waste and our sleeve is 100% recycled paper. ✌🌿

The amazing glowing in our browns and pinks on eyes and cheeks. ✨

We have so much love for this palette. 9 *super* pigmented shades inspired by the American Southwest, formulated with nourishing oils and zero fillers. What colors do you want next?

It may look simple but our package has big goals:

No trash.

Happy Friday friends ✌

demonstrates what we mean when we say zero waste packaging. It isn’t marketing fluff. A simple sleeve plus compostable cork and recycled aluminum pans. Every piece has somewhere to go other than “away” when you’re all done. Which will be loooong while.

Peep her swatches too — did we mention pigment?!? Our formula competes with premium $$ clean brands and is seriously packed with pigment. Swipe a little or layer for that extra.

Thank you 🌸

Wow. The amazing created these portraits of The Desert Nomad Palette packaging using found and painted stones to pay homage to our mutual love of these colors. Caroline is not only a brilliant artist but she does this while cleaning up the planet. Check out her found beach plastics compositions because they are so stunning. Thank you Caroline!
