How to Be an Active Non-Indigenous Ally: Practical Steps for Truth and Reconciliation 🌲

Allyship is not a label we claim; it is an ongoing practice of learning, listening, and taking meaningful action. To support Truth and Reconciliation, non-Indigenous allies must actively work to dismantle systemic barriers and foster cultural safety in their personal and professional lives.

If you are looking to move from awareness to action, here are practical steps you can take to practice active allyship:

1. Do the Groundwork: Educate Yourself First.
Read the Calls to Action: Familiarize yourself with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) 94 Calls to Action. Identify how they apply to your specific field, workplace, or community.
Learn the Local History: Research the treaties, traditional territories, and languages of the land where you live and work.
Listen Without Interrupting: Seek out books, podcasts, and articles by Indigenous authors, historians, and Elders. Focus on listening to understand, rather than responding.
2. Challenge Bias and Speak Up
Address Harmful Stereotypes: Gently but firmly challenge myths, racist remarks, or systemic biases when you encounter them in social, familial, or professional settings.
De-center Yourself: Use your platform to amplify Indigenous voices, rather than speaking on their behalf.
3. Support Indigenous Sovereignty and Economy
Buy Indigenous: Make a conscious effort to support Indigenous-owned businesses, artists, and community-led initiatives.
Support Grassroots Organizations: Donate to or volunteer with organizations that support Indigenous youth, language revitalization, and land-based healing.
4. Reflect and Adapt Your Practice
Examine Your Workplace: Ask how your organization can integrate cultural protocols, provide trauma-informed spaces, and recruit and retain Indigenous staff equitably.
Embrace the Discomfort: Acknowledging difficult truths can be uncomfortable. Accept this discomfort as a necessary part of growth and healing.

Reconciliation is a shared responsibility. By taking consistent, respectful action, we can build a foundation of mutual respect and genuine partnership.

Epsom Salt
• Magnesium sulfate
• Detoxification
• Softens skin

Found in our Bath Salts
While commonly known for soothing sore muscles, Epsom salt is pure magnesium sulfate and a secret weapon for skin health. Unlike sea salt, which is sodium-based, Epsom salt is a mineral compound that works through osmotic pressure to draw out impurities while replenishing the body’s magnesium levels through the skin, which is essential for skin repair and barrier function. As you soak, it draws out toxins, heavy metals, and pollutants, calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and swelling, all while softening dry or callused skin.

Our skin care products are a simple, natural, skin-loving choice for everyday care.

Dead Sea Salt
• Powerful detoxification
• Deep hydration
• Therapeutic

Found in our Bath Salts
Dead Sea Salt is a geological marvel containing a mineral concentration 10 times higher than regular sea salt. While most sea salt is primarily sodium chloride, Dead Sea salt is uniquely rich in magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bromide, making it a therapeutic powerhouse for troubled skin and sore muscles. High magnesium levels help reduce skin roughness, inflammation and significantly calms redness and scaling associated with dry skin conditions. Minerals in Dead Sea salt improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture and strengthen the natural lipid barrier. Unique ionic composition draws out impurities, toxins, and pollutants from deep within the pores. Minerals like sulfur and zinc promote cell metabolism and collagen synthesis while the high bromide content acts as a natural sedative for the nervous system, releasing muscles and easing the physical tension.

Himalayan Pink Salt
• Deep detoxification
• pH balancing
• Over 80 minerals

Found in our Bath Salts
Himalayan Pink Salt is a fossilized sea salt harvested from ancient seabeds deep within the Himalayan Mountains. Its natural pink hue comes from 84 trace minerals, including magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which turn a simple soak into a therapeutic treatment for the skin. As you soak, its ionic charge helps draw out toxins, pollutants, and heavy metals from the pores, while also absorbing essential minerals that strengthen the protective barrier of the skin and improve cellular communication. Help to regulate the skin’s natural pH levels, which can reduce the frequency of breakouts and calm overactive oil production. Known for its osmotic effect, it reduces swelling and puffiness while soothing the discomfort of eczema, psoriasis, and sore muscles.

Castor Oil
• Moisturizing
• Nourishing
• Rich lather

Found in our Facial and Soap Bars

11% of our hot process soap formula and 100% of the “superfat” is pure castor oil and that is very intentional. Our choice to use hot process soap making allows full control over the superfat.

Castor oil is the ultimate superfat because of its unique chemical composition – nearly 90% ricinoleic acid. When added at the end of the cook, it transforms a standard bar into a luxurious cleanser with a dense and creamy lather, that draws moisture from the air, into the skin. Adding castor oil as a superfat means the unsaponified oil remains in the bar, providing a protective, anti-inflammatory barrier that is excellent for acne-prone or sensitive skin.

Natural made soap at it’s best, once you feel the difference, it’s hard to go back.
