We're on a mission to make it easy to have a more sustainable routine
Welcome to Desesh. We're excited you found us.
Desesh was created in 2022 with a simple mission: we want to make it easy to have a more sustainable routine. This mission was inspired by our own experiences over the past few years.
Like a lot of people, we have become increasingly aware of the environmental impact of our daily routines. This awareness, compounded by the endless supply of anxiety and guilt-inducing fear marketing, is hard to reconcile against the lack of easy options people actually have to make more sustainable choices. At this point in time, we believe most people are well aware of the plastic crisis and other environmental concerns - but when you go to a grocery store what options do you really have to make better purchasing decisions?
Desesh was created to address both of those issues. Firstly, while we know fear marketing would be highly effective at driving sales of our products, it's just not the way we want our brand to be. We want people to know that progress is much better than perfection. Secondly, we aim to make this progress easier than it currently is by bringing together a curated collection of plastic free and more eco friendly alternative products in one place.
Our product creation journey has been a long one to ensure our standards are met. For example, across all of our products instead of using artificial fragrances and colors we use natural alternatives such as essential oils and minerals. You can read more on each product page to see the difference between our products and regular ones. We encourage people to look at our ingredient lists!
Our headquarters and registration is in Honolulu. We use a 3rd party warehouse partner in North Carolina which allows us to be geographically closer to most of our customers to reduce our shipping impact (as well as to improve the speed at which we can fulfill customer orders). Our main three US manufacturing partners are also on the East Coast. We do also currently have some of our manufacturing outside of the US for our accessory products.
We're working to build a community of people who love the Desesh brand and want to join us in our mission. As such, we would appreciate your input! Please message us here on Etsy if you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas for improvement. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you on your own sustainability journey.
We also are on Instagram (@trydesesh) - but we don't monitor the messages there actively. So please message us here so we can respond promptly!
