WHAT MAKES A 'FIND'?
First and foremost, innovation, design and functionality are at the heart of all the brands that we work with. we strongly believe that shopping more sustainably doesn’t mean a compromise on style.
RESPECTING THE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES
We always seeking out fellow entrepreneurs that are inspired by tradition, nature, science and technology. We feel that it’s important to take time to consider the use of natural ingredients, including the benefits and the impact upon the health of the planet by using them. Whether this is making advancements in Blue Biotechnology, or being inspired by tradition and bringing it up to date for our modern world. Our partner brands respect nature and never harvest it in an unsustainable manner.
INNOVATING TO REDUCE OUR IMPACT ON THE PLANET
We are always on the look-out for new, innovative developments in sustainability. This can be by creating products across categories such as plastic-free, plastic-conscious, reef-safe, waterless, or by using packaging that’s made from recycled materials (including made from ocean plastic) or packaging that is compostable or recyclable.
CONSCIOUS OF PACKAGING
How many times have you received a parcel and thought ‘why is there so much useless packaging!’ This is why we ship all our orders using no plastic, and seek out brands who are also conscious of their packaging and sustainability in their own business practices. We work with many innovative entrepreneurs, some of whom are offering customers the opportunity to refill and reuse.
CONSCIOUS MINIMALISM
It’s important for us to work with brands that aren’t solely driven by profit, particularly when it comes to over-producing and creating unnecessary new lines and variants of products just to make more money. We take note of businesses who are smart with how much they produce, and work with those who also aspire to the idea of ‘buy better, buy less’.
BEAUTY, NOT CRUELTY
We only work with brand partners that produce cruelty-free products. For a product to be labelled ‘cruelty-free’, it means that the final product and its ingredients have not been tested on animals. Some brands are certified against animal testing by an independent third party such as PETA or Cruelty Free International, which issues the Leaping Bunny logo. If an item is marked as vegan, it means that it contains no animal, or animal-derived products. Products may be certified as vegan by a third party such as the Vegan Society.
We have been supporting charities since the very beginning and strongly believe that every business should support environmental and social initiatives in their community. Many of our partner brands have charitable donations at the heart of their business model, and this is something that we consider when we choose to list them on THE FIND.
Thank you for supporting us.
