Everyone loves a good lather! Whether you’re washing your hands, washing your hair or doing a full scrub down in the shower while belting out your favorite tune—there’s just something about a bubbly, sudsy lather that makes us feel cleaner than clean.Soap has been present in our culture for many years and has been made out of a variety of ingredients; some pleasant while others not so much.
From animal fat to coconut oil, modern-day soap products have evolved to be one of the most common household care products; yet not many would give a second thought to the environmental impact of their favorite scented soap bar.

Thankfully, many brands are catching on and now realize that clean doesn’t always have to equal chemicals.
