10% to Nature
Natasha places great importance on expressing gratitude and giving back to the inspiration that fuels her artwork. That's why a portion of Sunny Beast's profits is dedicated to supporting biodiversity through thoughtful contributions to a handpicked collection of conservation charities. Our unwavering commitment lies in ensuring that all our products and packaging have the gentlest possible impact on the planet. Hence, we actively seek out non-toxic, sustainable, and recyclable alternatives whenever feasible.
