At Clean Maple, we believe in the power of nature to nurture your skin. Our commitment to clean beauty goes beyond just the ingredients we use – it extends to the way we source, create, and package every product. Today, we want to take you behind the scenes to show you how we combine the best of Vermont’s nature with sustainable practices to create body care products you can feel good about.
The Heart of Clean Maple: The Sugarwoods of Vermont
Nestled in our home forests of Vermont, our story begins in our sugarwoods where we harvest maple our sap water. This is no ordinary water – it’s packed with antioxidants, minerals, and a host of skin-nourishing properties that make it the perfect base for our body care products.
The sap is collected in early spring when the sap runs freely from the maple trees. By tapping the trees in a way that preserves their health, we help maintain the delicate balance of these forests while harvesting sap that’s rich in nutrients.. It’s our secret ingredient – the natural hydrating base for all of our products. The process is sustainable because for every tree we tap, the trees remain healthy and continue to thrive year after year, providing a renewable source of this incredible ingredient.
From Sap to Skincare: Crafting with Care
Once the sap is collected, we transform it into the nourishing base for our Body Lotion, Body Butters, Soaps and more. It’s gentle, hydrating, and naturally full of skin-loving compounds. We blend this sap water with other plant-based ingredients, carefully chosen for their benefits, to create products that cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin.
What makes our products even more unique is that we don’t just use the sap water on its own; we pair it with sustainably harvested ingredients like organic oils, butters, and botanicals. Each formula is designed to give your skin the gentle care it deserves without the harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, or parabens you might find in conventional body care products.
Sustainable Packaging: A Commitment to the Planet
Our dedication to sustainability doesn’t stop with the ingredients. At Clean Maple, we understand the impact that packaging can have on the environment, and we’re constantly working to reduce our carbon footprint in every step of the process. We’re proud to use Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic in our packaging. PCR plastic is made from recycled materials, helping to reduce the need for new plastic production and minimize waste. By using PCR plastic, we’re contributing to a circular economy, where plastic is reused, not discarded.
Shipping with Purpose: A Final Touch of Care
Once your order is ready to go, we take extra steps to make sure it gets to you as sustainably as possible. From using eco-friendly packing materials like recyclable fillers to choosing shipping options that help reduce our carbon footprint, we’re mindful of every decision. We also encourage our customers to reuse or recycle the packaging materials they receive, helping to keep the cycle of sustainability going.
When you shop Clean Maple, you’re not just purchasing products – you’re supporting a brand that’s committed to eco-conscious choices every step of the way, from forest to skin.
