What's all this about?
Starting this month, all of our scraps, design rejects, overflow samples and more will be collected and donated to the cause so that they can be rebatched and provided to those who need it most. In addition to our scraps, we are making a commitment to donate one full size bar for every batch sold out! And for our very first donation I went back through the books to add up the year - I'm sending 15lbs (6.8kg) as our first donation. That's the equivalent of 65 bars of mass manufactured soap, or 48 bars of our generously sized soap.
One of the things I struggled with most was the tiny bit of waste that is generated when I clean up our soap for sale. Those scraps are soap too! A batch of soap creates less than 1oz (28g) of scrap, but it adds up when you want to be a waste free operation.
Every bit of this 15lb box is made possible through your support. From now on, rest assured that every soap purchase you make with us is helping not only the threatened and endangered livestock on the farm, but also to provide livelihoods and free education to disadvantaged women with no other reliable source of income.
