Discover the Eco-Friendly Brand Changing How We Care for Our Bodies and Homes
Meet Dominique Flaksberg, the visionary behind Circular Bodies, a brand dedicated to simplifying sustainable living. At just 27 years old, Dominique has transformed her passion for natural, waste-free products into a thriving business. Circular Bodies focuses on creating high-quality, eco-friendly staples that nurture both our bodies and the planet. Every product is designed to naturally return to the earth, aligning with the principles of a circular economy.
In this blog, we’ll explore Dominique’s journey, the inspiration behind Circular Bodies, and how her commitment to sustainability is making waves in everyday living.
How Circular Bodies Began
Dominique’s story starts with a move from Brazil to the United States, where she became acutely aware of the immense waste generated by everyday products. Disappointed by the lack of affordable, plastic-free, and synthetic-free options, she took matters into her own hands.
“I started making my own products,” Dominique shares, “and over time, I mastered recipes for everything I needed without creating waste. Friends began asking me to share what I made, and Circular Bodies was born—a cycle of taking care of my body, the earth, and my community.”
A Mission Rooted in Love for the Earth
When Dominique launched Circular Bodies, her intention was simple: to create a better world by being the change she wanted to see. Her business isn’t just about selling products—it’s a labor of love and a way to inspire sustainable living.
“I still do a happy dance with every sale,” she says. “It’s one less plastic bottle going to a landfill. Circular Bodies started as a love project for the earth, and that mission remains the same.”
Sustainability Inspired by Cultural Roots
Growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, Dominique’s connection to nature was deeply ingrained. Her family picked fruits from their land, shopped at street markets, and made food from scratch.
“When I moved to New York, I wanted to maintain that connection,” Dominique recalls. “I expanded my awareness to all areas of my life, from the food I ate to the cleaning and bathroom products I used. My upbringing taught me to respect the earth and live with intention.”
Challenges Along the Way
Like many entrepreneurs, Dominique faced obstacles when building her business. One of the biggest challenges was staying true to her values while navigating a consumer-driven world.
“There were opportunities for outside investment,” she explains, “but they often came at the expense of my values. I’ve learned to trust in the importance of my work, even when it’s hard. Staying true to my principles has been my guiding light.”
The Joy of Connection
For Dominique, the most rewarding part of running Circular Bodies is connecting with people who share her vision.
“I love meeting customers at farmers’ markets and collaborating with like-minded businesses,” she says. “It’s a reminder that we’re stronger together. There’s a growing community of people committed to respecting the earth and each other, and I’m grateful to be part of it.”
Circular Bodies in Everyday Life
Circular Bodies is more than a business—it’s an extension of Dominique’s personal values. She uses all the products she makes, ensuring they align with her commitment to sustainability.
“I live intentionally with what I consume, making sure it’s gentle on the earth and on people,” she says. “Circular Bodies reflects that way of living, and I hope it inspires others to make sustainable choices.”
Advice and Reflections
Dominique’s journey into entrepreneurship wasn’t planned, but it felt right every step of the way.
“My advice is to trust the process and let go of control,” she shares. “Business doesn’t have to mean overworking or overproducing. Align your pace with nature’s cycles—slow, intentional, and sustainable. That’s what keeps me grounded and growing.”
Circular Bodies isn’t just a brand—it’s a call to action for sustainable living. Explore the collection and become part of a community committed to protecting our planet.
