Our Handmade Cosmetics

  • Michael—my pubby (partner and hubby) and Chef des Cheveaux—and I make all beauty products at Soul Sanctuary, situated on Occcaneechi,  Shakori, Cheraw,  Mánu: Yį Įsuwą (Catawba), Skarureh/Tuscarora, and Lumbee Land Land.

  • Our ingredients are sourced from locally and nationally distributed sources. The businesses we buy from are vetted for their mission, how they conduct business with those farming and processing materials, and their employment practices. We pay special attention to the ownership and operating of these businesses.

    When necessary, we also shop at Costco and from independent sellers on Etsy. We occasionally make exceptions for Wal-Mart and Am*zon. The decision to purchase from these companies is purely due to our material financial reality (being in school and founding a business as a means to  emerge from un- and under-employment). We also get some of our packaging from WholesaleSuppliesPlus.com.

    Check out this Google doc for detailed information on the features and benefits of our current ingredients.

  • We sell our cosmetics at the North Durham Farmer’s Market, located at Soul Sanctuary.
