When thinking of soap, what do you think of?
Your answer is probably some liquid name brand in a bottle. Now ask yourself again, just to put it into perspective.... How many bottles do you throw out in a year? How about five years? The last 10 years?
We as a collective have been using liquid soap for plenty over 100 years. Imagine the amount of plastic waste that has been produced since then. Taking from 20 to 500 years to decompose, there simply is no way that our environment is able to keep up with our level of plastic disposal at this magnitude.
To combat this issue, many have switched to soap bars. Soap bars are usually packaged in paper, making it basically zero waste. The face, body, shampoo and conditioner bar soaps sold on our site are from vendors such as Little Seed Farm, Viori Beauty, and Ten Thousand Villages.
Viori Beauty focuses on high-quality and sustainable products while also staying connected to their inspiration, the Red Yao tribe. These shampoo and conditioner bars are sulfate-free, paraben-free, phthalates-free, pH balanced, natural, 100% vegan, plastic-free, sustainable, cruelty-free, and ethically sourced. Handcrafted with rice water and naturally scented, these soap bars are safe for dry, natural and oily hair. There are over 15 bars available on our site, so you can find one made specifically for your hair concerns and scent preferences!
Handmade in India, Ten Thousand Villages aims to put people and the planet first. On our site, you can find hand soaps that are made with natural vegetable oils and herbs grown on local plantations, a clay shampoo bar that is reef-safe, cruelty-free, and free of harsh chemicals and parabens, as well as a hemp soap bag handcrafted by women in Bangladesh.
The Activated Charcoal Facial and Body Bar Soap deep cleans without drying your skin. Little Seed Farm supports responsible farming and ethical business practices by using natural and organic ingredients. This also makes their products perfect for all skin types.
