Our company takes great pride in providing our customers with high-quality, environmentally-friendly products. We understand the importance of preserving our planet and strive to make a positive impact through the use of biodegradable materials.
What is Biodegradability?
Biodegradability refers to the ability of a substance to break down into natural elements such as carbon dioxide, water, and biomass through the action of microorganisms and other natural processes.
Biodegradability is a complex concept, because even carrots won’t biodegrade if they don’t have light and are wrapped in plastic. It’s important that natural materials are returned to the environment so they can complete their life cycle.
That being said, we know that plastics won’t biodegrade even if they are floating in the ocean in the hot sunlight. Therefore, plastics are not considered biodegradable.
There are many different organizations that verify whether or not a material or product is biodegradable. They perform rigorous testing to identify how different materials break down in natural situations. These organizations publish information on the chemicals that do or do not biodegrade.
We use this information to determine which products to include in our soap.
How do we know our products are biodegradable?
We cross check all of our ingredients with the Environmental Working Group (EWG), who’s information you can also check at ewg.org.
The EWG researches different chemicals and common ingredients in skin-care and food, and publishes information about these ingredients on their website here: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredients/706048-SODIUM_COCOYL_ISETHIONATE/
You can take a look at each ingredient in your skincare products to see how it affects you as well as the environment you are a part of.
As a company committed to sustainability, we only source ingredients that naturally occur in plants, animals, and the environment. We carefully select organic and natural materials that are known to be biodegradable that we’ve identified through our research. We then combine those ingredients in a non chemically altering way. Our soap manufacturing process doesn’t chemically change or bond any of the ingredients in our soap, so everything in the product is free to dissolve and break down as the elements allow.
Where do our ingredients come from?
We source our ingredients from trusted suppliers who share the same values as us when it comes to sustainability and ethical sourcing. Our ingredients are organic and don’t contain any non-listed chemicals or residues.
