When we couldn't find an affordable bar soap that met all of our environmental and social standards, we made our own.
And now it's the best soap you can find. Especially for $4.95.
Why? Well, almost any bar soap you'll find today is made with:
1) Inorganic vegetable oils: which means, chemical pesticides are contaminating our soils, waters, air, animals, and human bodies.
2) Non-fair-trade ingredients: There is an incredible amount of human exploitation, and forced labor in the vegetable oil trade. Being fair trade means that our workers are being treated and paid fairly.
3) Synthetic surfactants, fragrances, and dyes: Which are concerning for our health, cancer risk, and waterways.
4) Uncertified palm oil: which is in almost every soap, and is responsible for the clearing of 300 football fields worth of the world's most dense and biodiverse forests every hour.
5) And more problems: like animal testing, overseas production, and irresponsible manufacturing practices.
So, good thing our soap is made in the US with only the most sustainable ingredients, and without any of the bad. Because when your skin absorbs everything you put onto it, don't put synthetic ingredients all packaged up in plastic.
