Gracious Minds Manifesto
I believe the art of connection begins within. It is the manifestation of who we are as feeling human beings in reaction to the feeling or unfeeling acts of other humans, the natural world. at gracious minds We create sustainable well-being rituals in order to reconnect to self because we all need peace, joy and healing.
This is what the essence of Gracious Minds is all about; the idea of creating rituals. Returning to the self and nurturing the skin, mind and body as a whole.
Whilst the skincare and body products work to deliver results on an external level, the intent behind each one is that it is a deep act of self-care. The ingredients have purposely been selected to nourish and sooth inside and out, with scents and properties that relax the mind and create a grounding effect.

Sustainable Practices
To encompass the entire life cycle of a product, we begin with product design, and envision the use and management of materials in ways that preserve, value and minimize environmental impacts, whilst conserving natural resources.
Cotton Paper
Our product boxes are made from cotton paper. Cotton paper, also known as rag paper is made using cotton from used cloth as the primary material.
Place in your household green waste bin. Must first be torn into parts.
Glass Vessels
Our products are filled in glass bottles. In Australia only 9% of plastic household waste is currently recycled whereas glass is currently at 56%.
Labels & Pumps
In Australia plastic pumps and labels cannot be placed in your household recycle bin. To recycle, we use TerraCycle to ensure these product parts are in fact recycled post use. At the end of the products life, please remove labels and pump parts and mail to us. Please include your name, email address and order number and upon receiving we will email you a $10 discount code to use on a future order. Please email us first prior to shipping. info@graciousminds.com.au

Our skincare lids are made using FSC Certified wood from sustainable and renewable resources. Our manufacturer is a small family owned business who produces sustainable furniture. Please note we are phasing out our wood caps containing a plastic lining. Most of our product caps now have no plastic lining.
Australian Conservation Foundation
We contribute a fixed amount to The ACF. The ACF is Australia's national environment organisation who speak out for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places and wildlife we love.
