October is all about New!
New soaps, new packaging, new products, and new adventures. There is so much to share that I'm going to have to break it up through the month!
Today we'll start with by introducing our fragrance and color free options. Whether you want luxury soap at a bargain, or just a workhorse soap for your sink - these bars are all the goodness of our artisanal soap without the frills and fuss. Great for sensitive skin, sensitive noses, and anyone who wants the thick, creamy lather of our skin-loving soap, these no-nonsense bars are the perfect fit!
Next up, new packaging! All the same great information you always get on our bars, with less impact to the environment. Our new soap boxes are made from post-consumer recycled kraft paper, designed, printed, cut, and assembled right here on the farm. This reduces our need have empty packaging shipped to us, eliminates 50% of the sticker labelling thereby reducing the amount of plastic in use, and provides better protection in transit.
But wait! You may be thinking that a box uses more materials than the cigar band style we previously used. And you would be correct, we are using approximately 15% more paper product in our boxes than with our bands. However, the ability to continue to produce these in-house, the reduction of one of two sticker labels for each bar, and the elimination of tissue paper wrapping for each bar during shipping nets out to an overall reduction of material usage and our carbon footprint! You get more protection for your bars, and our shipping impact is reduced by not bringing in empty packaging materials while maintaining our current shipping profile. Plus, I love the ability to color code our box printing to match the bars, and the fact that everything from the soap to the box is truly handcrafted by me with your experience front and center.
It's important to me that you love the change too - if you have any feedback or questions about our packaging, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am constantly looking for ways to improve your experience with our products.
