The Impact of Plastic Pollution on Our Oceans
Did you know that over 400 million tons of plastic are produced annually for various applications? Shockingly, at least 14 million tons of that plastic ends up in the ocean each year, constituting 80% of all marine debris, from surface waters to deep-sea sediments. This plastic pollution poses a grave threat to marine species, causing injuries and fatalities due to ingestion or entanglement. Moreover, it jeopardizes food safety, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At our company, we are deeply committed to reducing plastic waste, minimizing our carbon footprint, and promoting sustainable ingredients and packaging solutions. We believe in being part of the solution by offering alternatives that are gentle on your skin and the environment.
Rediscover the Charm of Soap Bars
Soap bars are making a remarkable comeback as consumers turn away from harsh detergent cleansers and the plastic bottles that accompany them. Did you know that liquid cleansers have a carbon footprint 25% higher than our Coconut Milk Soap Bars? Furthermore, consumers tend to use nearly seven times more liquid soap compared to bar soap. By switching to bar soap, you can significantly reduce your environmental impact while enjoying a luxurious bathing experience.
Eco-Friendly Candles for a Cleaner Burn
Our candles are crafted with a luxurious vegan blend of natural apricot and coconut waxes, ethically sourced from renewable sources. Not only does this eco-friendly blend have no negative effect on local ecosystems, but it is also biodegradable, toxin-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free. Compared to other plant-based waxes like soy wax, our candles burn up to 80% cleaner, ensuring a cleaner and healthier atmosphere in your home.
Buy 1, Plant 1: Partnering for Mangrove Reforestation
