ABOUT US
Plant focused, unpretentious, handmade body care products.
HOMEGROWN BODY CARE
One of the sole focuses of Lulu Organics is accessibility. We want our products to be simple, affordable and the ingredients to read as if you’re reading a home recipe. The herbs used in our body products come straight from our garden just as our food does. Jim does the growing and Lulu does the making. For a long time, we kept this story from our customers because we wanted to appear to as some big, successful company but really we’re just two homegrown hippies, homesteading off our little plot of city land as best we can.
We focus on quality, sustainability and strive for zero waste. Any and all materials that come into our offices are repurposed or recycled. If your package arrives with some mismatched packaging materials: sorry! (we’re not sorry).
ORIGIN STORY
Lulu was born in a communal living space in the 70’s in Austin, Texas. Her early imprint was about community, getting by on very little and eating plants vs animals. Her family was often wild and unpredictable as they moved all over the country but they always had a garden and always cooked their meals from scratch. Lulu learned to cook, sew, garden, craft and work with her hands at a very young age. She started making beauty products for herself in the early aughts so she could both save money and tailor make products to suit her unique skin and hair needs. She saw a big hole in the market for people with particular skin sensitivities such as herself.
After some time spent working in the fast fashion space she felt strongly that her work reflect her values and thus Lulu Organics was born. She chose a kraft tube to house her first product because it was made of 100% recycled content and 30% post-consumer waste. Being one of the first organic dry shampoos on the market, she encouraged people to bathe less to not only save water but to make for a healthier head of hair and a healthier body. She chose organic, non-gmo cornstarch instead of talc, an ingredient that is actually not even sourceable in America!
Lulu Organics has slowly grown over the years but we remain small, each product lovingly created by our own hands. We want you to have confidence in our products and trust that the ingredients are simple, healing, and most importantly, safe for your body!
