Benefits of Organic Products


What are the benefits of using organic soap and body scrubs? Organic soaps and sugar scrubs are healthier for your body. The natural products and ingredients that are sourced and used in a handmade soap bar are what our body and skin are trained to expect. They also cleanse and moisturize our skin naturally. This is in stark contrast to the bar or liquid soap and scrubs that are mass-produced. We believe in self-care made simple: Mindful moments, peaceful thoughts and nurturing your skin from the outside in. We know that what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it—so we’ve created an award-winning bath and body line using only organic and natural ingredients that are safe, effective and easy to use.Our products are an invitation to slow down and indulge a bit. Nourish your skin. Practice self-love. Trust that what you’re using is clean, not complicated.

Organic products offer a variety of benefits that can make a significant difference for consumers and the environment. When compared to conventionally produced goods, organic products are often free from synthetic pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics, making them a healthier choice for consumers. Additionally, organic farming practices promote soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity, contributing to a more sustainable environment.

Choosing organic products can also support local farmers and small businesses, fostering a sense of community and economic growth. By opting for organic goods, consumers can play a part in promoting ethical and environmentally friendly practices within the industry. Furthermore, organic products are often minimally processed, retaining more nutrients and flavor compared to their conventional counterparts.

4. Effective Stain Removal: The inclusion of washing soda in our homemade detergent acts as a powerful solvent, tackling tough stains like grease, blood, tea, and coffee with ease. It’s a natural solution for even the most stubborn marks. 

5. Boosts Cleaning Action: Borax, another key ingredient, enhances the detergent’s cleaning prowess by aiding in oil emulsification and preventing dirt from redepositing onto clothes. It ensures a thorough and efficient wash every time. 

6. Homestead Charm: Embrace the homestead spirit by incorporating homemade bar soap crafted from lard and unrefined coconut oil. It’s a rustic touch that adds character to your laundry routine while staying true to your self-sufficient lifestyle.
