Solmate Socks – “Amber Sky Crew Socks”

Environment
Poverty

Textiles take up nearly 8% of our country’s landfills and almost all of them take hundreds of years to de-compose.

These fun and funky, mismatched socks from Solmate Socks are made from t-shirt factory remnants that would normally go into a landfill. Solmate Socks grinds them down and re-spins them into their own yarns. They are a zero-waste company, meaning every last scrap is turned into something useful.

They offer carbon offsets for shipping and match every dollar. And Solmate has been donating socks for the past 17 years to various charity groups across the US, including family services organizations, refugee centers and homeless shelters.

Notice Hair Co. – The Stimulator Shampoo + Conditioner (Updated)

Environment

Reducing plastic use is one of our passions here at GoodBiz so when we find an alternative that doesn’t skimp on quality we like to shout it from the rooftops.

This shampoo and conditioner combo from Notice Hair Co. (formerly known as “Unwrapped Life”) are made of 100% essential oil. French green clay + matcha green tea + eucalyptus + cedar wood.

The French green clay in this hair bar duo acts like a sponge and ‘drinks’ oils, toxic substances, and impurities from your scalp and hair.  Its toning action, coupled with the antioxidant and protective properties of matcha green tea, stimulates the scalp by bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells, revitalizing your hair. With sweet almond oil and shea and cocoa butters, the conditioner bar helps ease the stress of styling and heat.

I have this product and it turns every shower into a spa experience. I do NOT miss the plastic.

Keap Candles Wood Cabin scent | GoodBiz.co

Keap Candles

Environment

Hygge (pronounced “heurgha”) is essentially the art of being cozy and enjoying life. It’s a big deal in Denmark, where they are regularly voted as one of the happiest countries and not coincidentally also burn more candles than any country in Europe. Lighting candles has been proven to improve your mood and when you light Keap Candles you are doing it in an environmentally sustainable and fantastic smelling way. 

Made of coconut wax with a glass holder that can be easily repurposed as a cup or returned to Keap for re-use, these candles come in unique, soothing scents like Wood Cabin, Wild Figs, and Green Market. Each individual candle burns for 45 hours and they have sample packs available so you can find your perfect “Hygge” pairing.

Project Repat – Tshirt quilt

Environment
Poverty

Everyone has their favorite t-shirts that they just can’t seem to part with because they remind them of an event or a time in their life that they remember with a smile. I have several shirts that I can’t discard but also can’t wear because they would not make it out of the washing machine in one piece. This is where Project Repat tshirt quilts are the perfect option. They take your shirts that would otherwise end up in a landfill and crafts a beautiful tshirt quilt from them right here in the USA by designers, cutters, and sewers earning a fair and living wage. Creating less waste, more jobs, and preserving more memories.
