sustainability

We make things that work better and last longer. Our products solve real problems with clean design and honest materials.

Why we care

At Wayward Chickadee, we believe there is no true beauty without respect for nature.Our inspiration comes from the forests, the salty coastal air, and the simplicity of everyday rituals.Creating products that harm what we love most has never been an option.That’s why every product is designed to be good for you, and gentle on the environment — with no compromises.

Always plastic-free

From the very beginning, we’ve chosen a different path: no plastic, ever.Our deodorant, lip balm, and insect repellent tubes are made from FSC-certified paper, biodegradable and compostable. This means less waste in landfills and less plastic drifting into our oceans. A small choice, with a big impact.

Ingredients you can trust

We keep it simple: plant-based, natural, and honest.Every ingredient is chosen for its skin-loving benefits and sourced with care. No synthetics, no shortcuts — just nature at its best.

Responsable scents

For our skin and hair care, we use only pure essential oils — chosen for their natural aromas and benefits.For our candles, we work with clean fragrance blends, always phthalate-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free and vegan. Selected for safety and quality, they allow us to create warm, natural atmospheres while staying true to our values.

Carbon - neutral shipping

Every order is shipped carbon-neutral.By offsetting emissions, we make sure your products arrive with less impact on the planet — a small step toward cleaner skies and a healthier earth.

Protecting the ocean

We live close to the coast, and we know how fragile our oceans are. By saying no to plastic packaging, we reduce the risk of waste ending up where it doesn’t belong — in the sea. Because every tide deserves to remain clean and alive.

Handcrafted in Maine

Every product is made by hand, in small batches, in our Soap House in Maine. This way we avoid overproduction, keep our footprint light, and ensure every bar, balm, or candle is made with care.

Our journey ahead

Sustainability is not a finish line — it’s a path we walk every day. We are constantly exploring better ingredients, better packaging, and better ways to care for people and the planet. This is just the beginning.
