Because Kind People Deserve Kind Goods
Kind Hive is a place to explore eco-friendly and sustainable gifts and goods. Whether you are shopping for yourself, or for a kind friend, we hope you choose to shop kind and do good for our planet. With so many natural disasters and companies caring less about the products they create, we want to do our part and offer products and information to help you be a safer consumer.
Kind Hive is a women-owned online store that is focused on providing gifts and goods that are made from natural and sustainable products. Our mission is to create a shopping experience that will excite consumers and help lessen waste and toxins in our air.
Owner, Jill Caren, has been working on the web since 2004. Having owned several e-commerce websites, Kind Hive is the one she is most proud of – and excited about. Over the years she has become more involved in the holistic and healthy living community and has begun improving her own lifestyle to be healthier and more sustainable.

Our promise.
Our products will be as eco-friendly as possible – from manufacturing to shipping.
Our informational resources will be researched and validated by professionals to ensure we are delivering the most accurate information.
We want to be as transparent and open as possible with every article we write and product we sell.
How do we pick our products?
We do due diligence on every product we carry to verify that it meets our high standards.
Our sourcing includes evaluating materials, work environment, and adherence to sustainability practices. Many of the products in our shop are from small artisans in the United States as well as other countries. Supporting these business is important to our mission. We want to encourage consumers to shop small and from brands that are minority or veteran owned.
When we work with international vendors we do the same due diligence. We want to be sure we are supporting small farmers and artists and not companies. Fair wages and good working conditions are important to us.
Transparency.
Transparency has never been more important, and at Kind Hive, we take it kind of seriously. Every product will have icons that represent their values as shown below so you know exactly what you are getting.

Products where the components or workers will be in contact with chemical pesticides or fertilizers will not be considered.

Products will never contain any animal or animal-derived ingredients.

Products will be 100% sulfate-free. Sulfates are often derived from petroleum and can be found in many cleaners and beauty products.

Products will be 100% paraben-free. Parabens are chemical preservatives often found in beauty products to extend shelf-life.

We ensure that no plastics are used in manufacturing or packaging of each product.

No animal testing ever! We ensure every product we carry has not been tested in any production phase.

If the item is made in the USA, this icon will prove it. Everything from manufacturing to packaging takes place right here in American if you see this logo.

Fair Trade products are made outside the US. Products marked as fair trade adhere to strict standards and are certified by various 3rd parties to ensure fair wages and working conditions are met.
We also do an annual review of all product lines to ensure there have been no changes to the quality or standards of the brand.
