The Planda Company offers vegan personal care items and much, much more.

The Planda Company is owned and operated by a family of vegetarians who never use animal ingredients or testing for their products. They began with a chemical- and dye-free, eco-friendly lotion in many scents, including cinnamon, ginger-orange, Virginia lavender, and aroma-free, but they have recently developed 10 varieties of handmade hemp 'butter' soap and handmade tub truffles (bath tizzies) containing almond oil.

In addition, they are expanding beyond their personal care lines to offer other items. Among their most interesting products are Comfort Eye Pillows, made with T-shirts 'rescued' from local thrift stores and filled with organic flaxseed and organic lavender buds. Customers can even send in their own older T-shirts to have custom pillows made. Planda also sells the works of vegetarian and vegan artists and craftspeople, and they are always looking for others to represent.

The Planda Company donates a percentage of all sales to causes that benefit animal welfare and ensure the planet's sustainability. The staff intends to expand even further with vegan foods, such as brownies. However, they are always looking for ideas regarding other items and welcome the input of all.
