High hopes

Introducing plastic-free shampoo and conditioner! We’ve been on the lookout for an ocean-friendly product that’s also great for your hair, and this is it. HiBAR was founded by four friends who share the goal of getting rid of plastic in the bathroom. They work with hair care professionals to achieve HiBAR shampoos and conditioners, which are formulated without water. HiBAR won’t cause weird build up because it is not a bar of soap, and the products feel and smell lovely. Use HiBAR for salon level hair care without the plastic bottle and chemical ingredients. Excellent for traveling!

Moon in your hands

Kim and Aaron Otto’s goal to create an organic skin care line followed the young couple as they raised their family, moving around Washington state until they were able to purchase the farm of their dreams. They worked the land and started making salves using plants from the farm. In 2000, they started selling Moon Valley Organics in the Pike Place Market in Seattle, a development that thrust their company forward. In 2009, Moon Valley became USDA certified organic, another major milestone. The Otto’s are affiliated with World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.
