Ivy & Fields is a clean living marketplace focused on connecting naturally-minded consumers with clean products. You can learn more about our ethos here.

We follow a traditional retail model (purchasing wholesale and re-selling), but for the first time ever, we are opening our site to third party sellers to sell directly to customers in an effort to bring even more options to our customers.

While “clean” can mean different things to different people, we define naturally-minded as a brand that primarily uses botanical or nature-derived ingredients and avoids parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, and any ingredients classified as potential carcinogens or endocrine disruptors.

You can learn more about our ingredient standards here.

We define a small brand as one that is independently owned—by an individual or a small group—not by a corporate conglomerate or investment firm. We're less concerned with your annual revenue and more focused on your ownership structure.

As for ethical, we’ve been to business school (twice!), and we know not every company operates with a “people first” mindset. We’ve read the horrid case studies—and we choose a different path.

To us, being ethical means prioritizing customer safety and satisfaction. It means doing the right thing, even when it’s inconvenient. It means operating with your humanity intact. Ethical brands take accountability and make things right with their customers' well-being in mind.

At this time, it is free to join and we do not collect a membership fee. If you do sell products from our site, we will collect a small percentage per purchase, similar to an affiliate commission rate. It will be a very fair, under market rate for a site that is constantly promoting your products.

For the cost of an affiliate fee, you can showcase your products to your ideal target market all day, every day without paying for ads or sponsored posts.

You must be a naturally minded, independently owned brand and successfully pass the application process.

Below are attributes that will improve your application and likelihood of being accepted:

• Your brand and business are properly insured and incorporated.
• You perform microbial testing for your hydrous (water-based) formulas.
• You are professionally trained in product formulating.
• You source your ingredients ethically and responsibly.
• Your products' ingredient lists are labeled according to INCI standards and you disclose allergens and sensitizers.
• You follow good manufacturing practices (GMP).
• You respond to customer inquiries and complaints in a timely manner.
• You always do the right thing by the customer, even if it means you may lose money.

We are accepting applications for all sorts of product categories from personal care to cleaning, and even clothing.

Being accepted does not mean you will be able to sell your entire lineup. In addition to being approved as a brand, each individual product must also be pre-approved before publishing on our site. Your products must meet our ingredient standards and be safely formulated.

As a third-party seller, you are wholly responsible for fulfilling customer orders. Depending on your configuration, you will be immediately notified when a customer places an order for your products. As a seller on our site, you promise to ship orders in a timely manner.

We are also open to wholesale-retail relationships where we stock your products in our warehouse and fulfill orders placed through us.

Part of our ethos is not only finding clean products, but also finding products that perform really well.

If you would like your product considered for a coveted "Field Favorite" badge, all you need to do is mail your product to 8724 Sunset Dr. #43, Miami, FL 33173 USA.

This is not a paid feature and you cannot buy your way in. All you need to do is send your product for field testing. There are no guarantees you will receive the badge. It will be my honest opinion.

At this time, we are accepting applications for a Fall launch. We are in the final stages of developing the functionality to allow third-party selling with the features we would like to offer you. Don't delay your application! It is possible we will close the application if we receive too many applicants for launch time. Be an early seller!

You do not need to own your own Shopify store, although it may help with some of the functionality.

It does not matter where you are currently selling your products, you will be able to create a product listing directly on our site.

We're so glad you're asking this question because we strongly believe that helping others does not limit your own growth, but amplifies it.

We have a free community for brands in the wellness/clean living space to support one another. Join here.
