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 at 0.

Some reasons we love bar soaps so much is that:

Most liquid soaps are 75-85% water with just a bit of concentrate. This means that when we’re purchasing hair wash, we're practically just buying water, all wrapped up in heavy plastic and transported hundreds of miles. Which unnecessarily contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
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.

liquid soap contributes to much more ecotoxicity, ozone depletion, and eutrophication potential than bar soaps

These bar soaps aren't petroleum-based, which is common for liquid soaps.

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.
