The Power of Soap

Oh sure...our handmade natural soap is undoubtedly luxurious, moisturizing, ultra fragrant, and mild. It's colorful, real ... even sensual. But we sometimes forget the true power of soap. Soap saves lives!

Diseases such as dysentary caused by dirty hands kill a child somewhere in the world every 15 seconds and half those deaths could be prevented by regular use of soap. It's pretty simple. Just wash with soap after toileting and before eating, and it doesn't even have to be "antibacterial" soap. The Center for Disease control has proven that all soap kills germs.

So in addition to the pampering and skin care attributes of our wonderful soap, I like the fact that we make a product that also has the potential to save lives and reduce suffering. OK. How many times do you wash your hands each day? How thoroughly do you wash? To be effective you should lather up for at least 15-20 seconds, diligently scubbing all surfaces of your hands, and then rinse well under running water. With the onset of the cold and flu season, now's a good time to start utilizing the power of soap. It does a body good.
