Captain Blankenship

Captain Blankenship offers affordable yet luxury beauty products that come with peace-of-mind, knowing that they were made with consideration for the best ingredients, as well as health for people and the planet. These nature enthusiasts are focused on supporting farmers and being socially-conscious throughout every step of production. Captain Blankenship sources mica through a member of the Responsible Mica Initiative, which is working to end child labor and improve working conditions in underserved communities in India. The organic shea butter they use is sourced directly from a women's collective in Uganda, and their coconut oil carries the Regenerative Organic Certification. Captain Blankenship also aims to source all ingredients as locally as possible, obtaining organic witch hazel in Connecticut and locally farmed seaweed in Maine! In all product formulations, Jana and the Captain Blankenship team work to be fully transparent regarding ingredients and sourcing. With all of the good stuff and none of the bad, you'll never find synthetic preservatives, parabens, sulfates, or artificial fragrance in these quality products. With so much focus on safe and sustainable ingredients, Captain Blankenship keeps the bar high by ensuring all products are packaged in the most earth friendly way possible. Most items are packaged in glass made form 30-35% recycled content, with minimal plastic accessories like lids or spray tops. For items where glass can be a little iffy (like in the shower!) they utilize ocean-bound plastic made from 100% recycled content. Throughout all aspects of their business, Captain Blankenship prioritizes external certifications to ensure they're practicing what they preach. As a Certified B Corp they meet high environmental and social standards, and prioritize sustainability above profit. Captain Blankenship is also looking out for the little guys – as a Leaping Bunny Certified brand, their products come with the cruelty-free promise of having never been tested on animals. Even more true to their values, Captain Blankenship gives back to the community as a member of 1% for the Planet. Through this partnership, the company donates 1% of their sales to non-profits that are working to protect, preserve, and conserve all of those natural places that inspire their mission every day.
