World Bamboo Day: The Story Behind Our Bamboo Tops

In the very early days of Raw Sugar Living, the founders had perfected what would go inside the products—clean, organic ingredients with fresh, vibrant scents. But when it came to designing the bottles, they knew it had to be something special. They wanted a look that was clean, pure, wholesome and undeniably beautiful—something you'd be proud to leave out on the counter, not tuck away under the sink. Yet, the right touch was still missing.

Enter co-founder Donda Mullis, on a mission to find that final detail. While wandering through the original factory, surrounded by endless rows of bottles and containers, she accidentally nudged one off the shelf. It tumbled to the ground, revealing something unexpected—a bottle with a wooden cap. In that moment, Donda knew she'd found it. The vision was clear: sleek white bottles paired with natural bamboo tops. It was the perfect balance of simplicity, style and sustainability, just what they needed to complete the Raw Sugar look.

That discovery wasn’t just about making the bottles look cool on your countertop. Bamboo was the ideal choice, perfectly aligned with Raw Sugar’s commitment to eco friendly solutions. Bamboo is an incredibly renewable resource—technically a grass, bamboo grows at a mind-blowing rate of over a meter a day. It requires very little water, doesn’t need harmful pesticides, and once harvested, new shoots grow right from the existing roots. Plus, it’s biodegradable, making it as earth-friendly as it is beautiful. 

Today, the white bottles with bamboo tops are an iconic part of Raw Sugar’s identity—a symbol of clean, earth-friendly design that’s just as good for you as it is for the planet. So, every time you "Look for the White Bottles With Bamboo Tops™", you're holding something that reflects Raw Sugar’s mission: to blend clean beauty, sustainability, and care in every detail.
