Buying soap. It seems like a small decision, one that will have little influence in the grand scheme of things. Yet this decision may carry much more weight than you thought. If you’re thinking of buying or have bought natural soap, there are three things you should know.
1. You’re making the right choice.
Big brands may not respond personally to consumers. Their markets are so huge, it’s just not a top priority. And we hate to say it, but the safety and efficacy of their formulas aren’t always a top priority, either.
But do you know what these huge companies do respond to? Declining sales. That’s what prompts them to go back to the drawing board, to listen to customer feedback and suggestions. We believe that everyone’s better off considering and responding to the demands of their customers from the very start.
When you buy natural soap, you’re voting with your dollars. You’re telling the market that ethically sourced, all natural ingredients do matter to you. And we love you for that alone. You want nontoxic, plant-based soap, and we’re happy to make it for you, plain and simple.
2. Your skin will love it.
Pop quiz time! What beneficial purpose does diethanolamine serve in your soap? Companies that sell soap sometimes use it to create more lather or maintain a product’s pH. But all it does when it hits your skin is get absorbed through your pores, where over time it could contribute to serious illness.
What beneficial purpose does saponified coconut oil, lavender essential oil, or rosemary serve? These are skin moisturizers, mood boosters, and anti agers. That’s it! No harm done. When you buy natural soap, you’re buying a product intended to cleanse and condition skin. There’s no fine print to read, no long names to research. It’s formulated to do one thing and one thing only: leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on your day (or night!).
Not to mention, a good natural soap will contain glycerin - a very important ingredient for skin that most companies take out. We leave the good stuff in for you.
3. You have a positive impact on the planet.
Like us, you may have wondered what happens when you rinse. All that soap goes right down the drain. With natural soap, this isn’t a point of concern. But with mass-produced soap full of unnecessary ingredients, it’s become a problem.
These toxins can elude filtering and end up in the water supply. There’s no long-term research available on some of the chemicals that have become prevalent in recent years. We worry about the impact these ingredients will have on the health and environment of everyone - not just those who purchased that product. It’s like secondhand smoke, except we’re not precisely sure what the outcome will be.
What we are sure of is that our natural soap contains ingredients that came direct from the earth, and won’t do unknown damage going back in. Furthermore, there’s no need to test natural soap on animals, so we don’t. This not only saves both company and consumer money, but reduces the amount of cruelty taking place on the planet.
We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks for doing the best thing for yourself - and everyone else - by buying natural soap!
