Woman-owned businesses account for the majority of our partners here at Kika.  We wholeheartedly support these trail-blazing women entrepreneurs and their visions for more equitably and responsibly run businesses. They have long been left out of the mainstream business world for far too long.

Craftsmanship is alive and well, and oftentimes, it is the way traditional practices are handed down from one generation to the next.  Whether your product was handwoven on a loom in Turkey using time-honored techniques or forged in a jewelry studio in Detroit, handmade items are made to endure and carry the mark of something special.

Sourcing organic materials and ingredients whenever possible are critical to the health of the planet and human health. When we prioritize the environment's health by purchasing products made with organic ingredients, we actively support the much-needed shift towards minimizing the use of chemicals and pesticides and the associated loss of biodiversity.

Social good encompasses a partner's efforts to give back to their communities or other causes meaningful to them by donating a portion of profits to organizations they align with.  It can also include providing resources beyond wages to support a community in need. 

For products made outside of the United States, Fair Trade practices ensure that producers, workers, and farmers, in developing countries are fairly compensated for their goods when employed and/or selling to distributors. In addition, many of our partners go beyond this benchmark and provide daycare, living and educational and training opportunities to their craftspeople.

All personal care and beauty products we carry at Kika are "Clean."  This means no harmful chemicals, preservatives, sulfates, formaldehyde, phthalates, parabens, and talc. Our partners never test on animals and many are formulated with plant-based organic and wildcrafted ingredients.
