Today, the home care industry generates more than 29 billion plastic containers every single year! This is crazy given that just a handful of decades ago this number was 0.
Some reasons we love bar soaps so much is that:
1) Most liquid soaps are 75-85% water with just a bit of concentrate. This means that when we’re purchasing liquid soaps, we're practically just buying water, all wrapped up in single use plastic and transported hundreds of miles. Unnecessarily contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
2) On average, the production of liquid soap requires 5x times more energy for raw material, has a 10x bigger carbon footprint, and uses almost 20x more energy for packaging production than traditional bar soaps.
3) Liquid soap contributes to much more ecotoxicity, ozone depletion, and eutrophication potential.
4) Natural bar soaps aren't petroleum-based, which is common for liquid soaps.
5) Most liquid soaps contain palm-oil. Palm oil is one of the major drivers of deforestation, destroying some of the worlds most diverse forests, and destroying the habitat of several already endangered species.
I used the tea tree one for my body and it works fine - does what I expected it to! I like the smell and it’s not too overpowering.
I will say though, I bought the unscented one as well (this was on Melioras website since it wasn’t available here) and when I tried using it “down there” I had some sort of reaction to it! It calmed down on its own after a bit thankfully but I was surprised since I never really have reactions over anything and I assumed since it was essentially just a bar of glycerin with no fragrance it would be fine. I didn’t try the tea tree one on that area since I was worried about the fragrance potentially being irritating. Just be careful using it on sensitive parts and test a patch so you don’t end up like me lol.
I've been using this as a hand soap in the bathroom and I've gotten so many compliments! Same goes for the bamboo soap tray
I was highly skeptical, especially given that it’s essentially one ingredient. I have to say though that it absolutely blew me away. We recently had a pretty significant female staining issue on some sheets (you ladies know what I’m talking about) and I was dreading trying to get it out of the pale pink cotton. With other stain removers I often had to do multiple washed for a set in stain of this type, and even then was oft n left with a faint outline/discoloration. This was with using quality commercial brands like Persil, Tide, OxyClean brand etc. One wash with this stain stick and the Meliora laundry powder and I can’t tell for the life of me where the stain even was. That right there just pretty much guaranteed this stain stick and the laundry powder will always be stocked in this house!
I have just about used up my first bar and have already re-ordered more! The lemongrass sent is so fresh. It's not overpowering either. Also, the lemongrass scent lasts to the very end. It doesn't wane at all. I appreciate how this bar lasts. I keep it on a soap saver so it doesn't sit in water. The bar doesn't get soft or mushy and keeps it shape until the end.
I love their bath soaps! Good lather and nice for my skin. And the lemongrass smells SO GOOD!
Reminds me of my stepdad and the lemon drop candies he carried. He always gave me one at the start of every play, movie, or performance. The scent holds the memory of lovely things tug o come. Great way to start the day!
