Sustainable
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and it’s time we rethink the materials, processes, and packaging used to create our beloved purchases. This is why we’ve done the upfront legwork and vetted our brands to ensure that our planet’s health is top of mind for them as well.
Woman-Owned
Women lift up half of the sky - by investing in women, you’re assisting in the process of creating more wealth for families and communities. The successes of women shape the way young girls see themselves as they develop into leaders, and it's essential for the world to provide leaders that mirror half of the population.
Toxic Free
The secret behind the beauty, personal-care, and fashion industry is that they’re virtually unregulated, and therefore, allowed to use untested chemicals in their products. Exposure to these ingredients can be harmful overtime, and that’s why we’ve vetted each and every single one of these brands to ensure that they’re up to standards for those looking for a cleaner beauty routine or may be more sensitive to harsh ingredients.
Ethical
Here at ourCommonplace, all brands have our ethical stamp of approval, which encompasses decent working conditions, treatment of workers, and fair-wages. Through providing a platform for purchasing ethical goods and ensuring all brands uphold ethical standards, we hope to take us towards a more equitable and just world.
BIPOC-Owned
We believe in uplifting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities by empowering their businesses. By choosing to allocate your purchasing power to BIPOC-owned businesses, you're not only strengthening local BIPOC communities — you're also contributing to shrinking the racial wealth gap, fostering job creation, and propelling diverse representation across consumer industries.

About This Handicraft
Never have hard brown sugar again! Handmade from terracotta earthenware clay, a sugar saver is a small piece of terracotta designed to maintain desirable moisture levels in brown sugar for approximately 3 to 6 months.

These clay brown sugar savers make a unique and thoughtful gift in a housewarming basket, Christmas stocking, or gift hamper.
Each set of sugar savers includes a "Hand Screen Printed Drawstring Pouch" handmade by Bangladesh Women Artisan, which is beautiful for gifting & storing the sugar saver & ornaments.

How to Care & Use This Item
-
Use It Wet - Keep Things Moist
: To revive your brown sugar, follow these easy steps:
1. Soak the terracotta sugar saver in water for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Pat it dry. You don’t want sugar sticking all over its surface.
3. Place it on top of the brown sugar and store it in an airtight container.
4. When sugar begins to harden, repeat above the process.
5. Rinse the terracotta sugar saver with water only.
-
Use It Dry - Keep Things Dry
: Instead of keeping something moist, you can use sugar savers the other way to prevent moisture in your storage. Dry terracotta sugar savers are extremely absorbent and very functional for soaking up excess moisture around them. Things you want to keep dry may include spices in kitchens, supplements and medications in bathrooms, and dry pet foods. Keep food from getting soggy and spoiled, and save yourself and your pets from getting sick. To use sugar savers dry, follow these simple steps:
1. Soak the terracotta sugar saver in water for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Pat it dry. You don’t want sugar sticking all over its surface. -
Caution
: The brown sugar may turn white or crystalize where the disc touches. Just scrape it out and toss out the affected areas. Product is not considered defective as results may vary depending on settings, i.e. size of container, type of container, or amount of foods.
