Where Actives Meet Advocacy

Now more than ever, the world needs everyday activists pushing humanity to reach our fullest potential — wellbeing for all earth dwellers.

But activism is draining. It's imperative to replenish our minds, bodies and spirits from the hard work of changing the world, through intentional self care.

Therein lies the link between skincare and activism: facing yourself in the mirror each morning and night gives you a rare moment to check in with yourself and your priorities.

As Jane Goodall said, “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

We believe that holding a bottle of skincare goodness emblazoned with an activist raising her fist can make an impact — if it inspires you to transform your moment of self-care into fuel for the difference you’ll make each day.

Additionally, you can take pride in knowing your dollars spent with Activist are also making a difference, because a minimum 1% of every purchase goes to actual activism work, and every aspect of our business is built around doing good for people and planet. (More on that below.)

We're proud to be a truly homegrown operation. Activist began in Allison's kitchen, launched by getting the word out within the eco-conscious community, and continues to grow organically because we walk the walk. So many of our customers find us because their extremely high standards rule out all other options.

Now we're shipping refill after refill to thousands of loyal returning customers who come back, not just for the products, but for the ethos: taking care of ourselves and our planet.

Every product is still handmade in California — crafted in small batches to keep quality high, production ethical, and the experience personal. Thank you for loving that we're small, woman-owned and handmade.
