Kayleigh May

Kayleigh May

About

“Kayleigh-May, the designer and founder of Kayleigh May L.L.C. always dreamed of mermaid-length hair. However, for years she struggled with constant breakage and brittle hair due to damaging elastics and harsh chemical products. Determined to finally grow her mermaid locks, Kayleigh-May sought out a better way to take care of her hair.

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she began sewing scrunchies and experimenting with different fabrics. That’s when she came across Mulberry Silk. Not only did the scrunchie style allow for less “tug” on her hair, the benefits of Mulberry Silk allowed her to grow her hair with ease! The Mulberry silk provided a smooth finish to her scrunchies that allowed for natural hair movement which resulted in less breakage, less natural healthy oils removed from her locks, and locked in hydration!

With her hair now long and thriving, Kayleigh-May wants to help other women and men achieve their hair goals while still looking super fashionable.”

Zero-Waste – “plastic-free”, “compostable”, “reusable”, and “recyclable” are our four favorite terms – you’ll be seeing them on the description of every piece we make.

Exploitation-Free – The Earth is not the only victim of mass consumerism. We are committed to creating our goods with efficient, local methods that don’t exploit other human beings. Once a design is ready, we send it to a laser cutter in California who uses efficient means to cut and engrave our bamboo pieces. Every other part of the process is completed in-house for fair wages by our San Diego team.

Responsibility – We aren’t here to create useless waste. We are low-waste and 100% plastic-free.”

In 2013, ISLY began with unique laser-cut acrylic jewelry and accessories that became iconic statement pieces, with trendsetting acrylic glasses, oversized brooches, and the “Sorry Not Sorry” necklace making their colorful mark in the fashion industry.
Since then, we’ve grown into our own, and we expanded beyond the borders of “just an accessories” brand. In every piece we create, we imbue the idea of individuality. We celebrate you through our pieces that make your personal style really *pop*, giving you the space and freedom to be whoever you want to be, with no judgment; just round after round of applause. For you. From high femme to androgynous to full on boy, ISLY is the go-to brand for fabulous people everywhere.
Right now, we’re expanding our collections. First, came the funky acrylics, and now it’s time for new pieces with more elegant and sleeker finishing, introducing more metallic accents and muted details that stand out beautifully against the symphony of colors you know and love.
Our designs have graced the covers of WWD and Vogue, and we’ve created sought-after collaborations with other labels such as DKNY, Mondo Guerra and Bcalla. We’ve worked extensively with celebrities such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Missy Elliot, Violet Chachki, Sasha Velour, and many more.”

Clay & Olive Skincare

Clay & Olive Skincare

About

“Inspiring women using generations of insight on skin wellness and self care.
Clean ingredients / Cruelty-free / Vegan

Skincare for all skin types

Since the beginning of time, women from all cultures and social classes have practiced skincare rituals with ingredients made accessible to them by Mother Earth. In early Egypt, women would exfoliate using salts from the Dead Sea and make soap paste out of clay and olive oil. Just like food, customs, and other traditions, beauty rituals were passed down through the generations, and my family is no exception.

Watching the southern matriarchs of my family observe their daily beauty rituals sparked my passion for skincare. My mother, the youngest of seven grew up on a large farm in rural Alabama. Growing up, she’d watch my grandmother hand craft soaps made from simple ingredients harvested on their farm. She would later share this inherited wisdom with me.

Clay & Olive Skincare carries on the legacy of generations of women in my family.”

Fleuri

Fleuri

About

“We have a strong focus on traditional culture of harmony, nature, and health in Japan, and pursued the comprehensive beauty of the inner, outer, and mind.
Our origin is an aesthetic salon that started in 2002, where there was an issue on how we achieved aesthetic and bare skin beauty.
The beauty effect lasted just a short period of time.
Japanese aesthetics focused on formulas that maintain beauty in harmony with natural mechanisms, rather than formulas that have a temporary effect.
Therefore, our answer was in order to truly have healthy skin, we must enhance the functions of basic cosmetic products.
In addition, not only aestheticians, but cosmetologists and registered dietitians thoroughly researched for what is needed to achieve beautiful bare skin from their perspectives.
Japanese cosmetologists supervised this project and this is how the skincare brand Fleuri was created.”

Sprout

Sprout

About

“The Original Plantable Sprout Pencil.

Yes, you read that right. Sprout’s pencils can be planted after you’ve used them and they grow into herbs, flowers, vegetables and even spruce trees.

The idea behind this unique item is that if you can upgrade a pencil so it has a second life as a plant, what other small changes can you make in your everyday life to be more sustainable?

Planting a pencil is not just about celebrating the glory of plants and making the unusual possible, it’s also a step on the path to zero waste living, and considering the full life cycle of anything you use.

This innovative idea is making a big impact, with over 40 million pencils sold across 80 countries.

We’re proud to be the inventors of the only plantable eyeliner and browliner in the world. Instead of throwing your makeup pencils in the trash after use, where they could contribute to pollution, Sprout makeup pencils can be planted to grow into bee-friendly wildflowers.

We made the makeup pencils because we want to prove that a sustainable makeup pencil can be effective, easy to use and be good for both nature and humans.

Sprout makeup pencils are made in collaboration with a leading European vendor within the beauty industry. They took up our challenge to make a makeup pencil made with an allergy-free vegan formula that doesn’t compromise on quality. They achieved everything we asked for and more. The result is a rich, color intense eyeliner that is easy to apply.

Using a Sprout eyeliner or browliner, you’ll look good and feel great. Our makeup pencils are made from certified wood with a vegan formula that uses natural ingredients. Most importantly, you know the makeup you’re using gives back to nature.”

Sugar Scents Scented Hair Spray

Sugar Scents Scented Hair Spray

About

“Kimberly Hebert

Founder & Creator of Sugar Scents

Kimberly Hebert has a major obsession with hairspray! She grew up in the 80’s when it was all about big hair and big dreams, this is where she developed her life-long passion to create a multi-functional styling product that smells as great as it performs.

As a department manager of SAFEWAY in Washington State, Hebert did not let her ‘day-to-day responsibilities’ of managing a day job, farm and family get in the way. Fully self-funded, she took to the labs with her Hair-Criteria and business acumen to develop a customizable spray which holds, protects, moisturizes, and maintains shine.

Kimberly believes that hair products that smell good are hair products that every woman deserves. It’s a misconception that good styling sprays have to have a strong alcohol smell to them. Hebert wanted to create a formula that would not only make your hair look great, but also smell great!”
