Tackling unsustainable wellness habits with Daeda founder, Cameron Roby-Mais
The rise of conscious brands and demand for sustainable alternatives has rapidly grown in recent years. Still, sometimes it’s hard to navigate the plethora of beauty and wellness brands on the market today. Amongst the rubble are those brands curated with love and promise thoughtful and conscientious morals behind them. A company that has made the search easier is Daeda, harnessing the art of taking their time and filling their shelves with brands that hold mindfulness, sustainability and consideration at the forefront.
Starting in the first lockdown, the founder of Daeda, Cameron Roby-Mais believes “sustainability is non-negotiable at this point. So many problems we are facing today are the direct result of yesterday's shitty solutions, solutions that simply slapped a band-aid over the wound. When healing problems holistically, you will inevitably take the sustainable route.” Cameron adds “Daeda is grounded in empathy and responsibility. We understand that the countless decisions you make on a daily basis can be overwhelming - to then try and understand the impact of all those choices is near impossible. Each product at Daeda serves a purpose. I don't believe people should buy any of this stuff just for the sake of it, we have curated a selection that solves a variety of problems for a variety of people - if you don't need it, don't buy it... ”
