Sustainable
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and it’s time we rethink the materials, processes, and packaging used to create our beloved purchases. This is why we’ve done the upfront legwork and vetted our brands to ensure that our planet’s health is top of mind for them as well.
Woman-Owned
Women lift up half of the sky - by investing in women, you’re assisting in the process of creating more wealth for families and communities. The successes of women shape the way young girls see themselves as they develop into leaders, and it's essential for the world to provide leaders that mirror half of the population.
Toxic Free
The secret behind the beauty, personal-care, and fashion industry is that they’re virtually unregulated, and therefore, allowed to use untested chemicals in their products. Exposure to these ingredients can be harmful overtime, and that’s why we’ve vetted each and every single one of these brands to ensure that they’re up to standards for those looking for a cleaner beauty routine or may be more sensitive to harsh ingredients.
Ethical
Here at ourCommonplace, all brands have our ethical stamp of approval, which encompasses decent working conditions, treatment of workers, and fair-wages. Through providing a platform for purchasing ethical goods and ensuring all brands uphold ethical standards, we hope to take us towards a more equitable and just world.
BIPOC-Owned
We believe in uplifting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities by empowering their businesses. By choosing to allocate your purchasing power to BIPOC-owned businesses, you're not only strengthening local BIPOC communities — you're also contributing to shrinking the racial wealth gap, fostering job creation, and propelling diverse representation across consumer industries.
Cruelty Free
Animal tests are often painful and cause the suffering and deaths of millions of animals every year. Having this stamp of approval means that no animals were tested on, harmed or killed in the process of making the product. When you opt in for cruelty-free brands, you’re opting out of animal testing, and investing in clean products that are made for the benefit of your body, animals, and the environment.
This turmeric-based cleanser is a game-changer.
The goal for this cleanser was simple. We wanted the protection oil cleanser's offer and the clean you get with soap-based ingredients.
Rendering the skin clean, but more importantly hydrated, not stripping, protecting the delicate balance of the epidermis biome intact. We have found that this is one of the most important aspects when developing a cleanser. Maintaining the balance of the delicate surface of the skin, while creating a cleansing effect. This is why THE GOLDEN MILK cleanser is a perfect addition to your skincare regimen.
This cleanser goes on dry skin, upon the introduction of water it turns it into a milky texture. Washes off makeup and remnants of the day from the exposure to elements,
Leaving the skin balanced, calm, and smooth.

WILD NEW ZEALAND MANUKA | There's one compound contained within manuka that is fascinating scientists and that’s triketones. This very special tree specific to the East Cape of New Zealand contains up to 20% more of this compound than anywhere else on the planet.
There are recent studies indicating that triketones' antioxidant activity contributes to anti-photoaging effects inhibiting photo-aging caused by UV radiation.
For inquisitive minds see below.
Quote from a pub-med published paper
Furthermore, we observed that manuka oil could suppress UV-B-induced skin inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines. Taken together, this study provides evidence that manuka oil indeed possesses anti photoaging activity, and this is associated with its inhibitory activity against skin inflammation induced by UV irradiation.
