How SB Sentient Beauty LLC originated. As a mother, I’m the ultimate creator, um… of life itself. I still have to pinch myself some days to believe it’s true. Motherhood is my biggest honor in life.
My education is in Liberal Arts/Dance/Writing from the University of New Mexico having performed in UNM performances, in New York, throughout New Mexico, and with the New Mexico Ballet Company.
As a lover of fine and performing arts, I was honored to portray one of my favorite artists Georgia O’Keefe in the documentary Bone Wind Fire.
SB Sentient Beauty LLC is the culmination of my life having made choices that reflect my love of animals and my life’s journey, to be the best mom I can be. I believe that beauty can’t be bought in a bottle, but instead must be cultivated through a cohesive approach to holistic living that includes self-respect, healthy eating, restful sleep, exercise, or just mindful movement, and compassion for other sentient beings. Here are the choices I’ve made to help manifest these values in my products, shipping, and formulations.

Offset carbon by protecting trees
Every time you check out with Shop Pay, we offset the carbon emissions of your order’s delivery through tree protection projects. You can view the impact of your carbon offsets in Shop.
We work with Pachama, experts in using carbon offsets to prevent deforestation around the world. Pachama’s projects are certified to comply with best-in-class protocols and standards, including the Verified Carbon Standard and Gold Standard. Pachama verifies that the projects we invest in have the positive environmental impact necessary to offset the carbon emissions from your deliveries. Pachama also makes sure that its carbon offset projects protect endangered forests, which means trees that are in danger of being cut down and used in a way that would release carbon into the atmosphere.
Shop’s current carbon offset project protects trees in the Peruvian rainforest, one of the largest and most biodiverse rainforests in the world. We chose the Brazil Nut Concession REDD+ Avoided Unplanned Deforestation Project, which protects over 350,000 hectares of tropical forest from deforestation. This region is an important carbon sink, which means that it captures and stores a high amount of carbon dioxide produced by humans: 14.5 million tons of CO2 emissions are prevented because of this project.
We selected tree protection because newly-planted trees take years to develop, and established trees have an incredible capacity to store large amounts of carbon. We know that carbon offsetting is only one way to combat climate change, and we’re also exploring future technologies that will let us do even more.

How your carbon offsets are calculated
Shop calculates the carbon emitted from the delivery of your order and then translates those emissions into the number of trees we need to protect to offset the carbon.
The carbon emissions are estimated based on transportation method, package weight, and delivery distance:
- Transportation method — We calculate the speed of the delivery based on the time between checkpoints and then select the most logical transportation method between long flight, short flight, or truck. Each transportation method is associated with a different level of carbon emissions.
- Package weight — We use the measured weight of a package when it’s available, and if it’s not, we use an average shipment weight.
- Delivery distance — We use the shipping address, delivery address, and any checkpoints in between to estimate the distance that the delivery travels, then we use the haversine formula to calculate the distance between pairs of latitudinal and longitudinal points.
The average tree seedling in the rainforest captures about 1 kg or 2 lbs of carbon. We use this calculation to determine the number of trees we need to protect to offset the delivery of your order, and we always round up to at least one tree.
