Here's what The Handmade Soap Company says about their products:
"DOWN TO EARTH / BE KIND
Since our products are made by hand, we know exactly what goes into each one. Because we put it there ourselves. Each ingredient carefully chosen to deliver the best possible results.
What we leave out is as important as what we leave in. We want you to know exactly what we're made of.
We go to great lengths to make sure that our raw ingredients, packaging and processes are as kind to the environment as they are to your skin. Here are just some of the ways that we do that:
- We avoid single use plastic. All our bottles are made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled materials and are recyclable.
- Our boxes are made from FSC approved sustainable cardboard from managed forests.
- We have an ethical sourcing policy with all our suppliers.
- Everything we make is cruelty free and vegan friendly.
OUR PEOPLE
We’re one small, happy family at The Handmade Soap Company, and we want to keep it that way.
Our people’s wellbeing is very important to us, so we always do what we can to make work feel less like, well, work.
And as much as we love all the nice smells around the office, we regularly swap them for some fresh air and a well-deserved day out.
PRODUCTION
We upcycled a derelict linen mill in the village in Ireland.
The fact that an existing mill has been repurposed has had a hugely positive impact on our carbon footprint.
We have upgraded and improved the existing site where necessary in order to comply with GMP and to ensure that the site operates efficiently.
PLASTICS AND PACKAGING
Our plastic bottles are manufactured using 100% recycled (PCR) plastic material which is also fully recyclable. We believe that just being recyclable is no longer enough.
Although there are significant cost implications for us we simply do not wish to add to the amount of microplastics that are already in existence."
