Organic Soaps - Ecosoapia Organic Soap

While I was searching for organic soaps available in the existing market, I discovered that there were over 5000 searches on "Ecosoapia Organic Soap" on the internet.

So I decided to take a look on the Ecosoapia website, and the followings are what I have found.

Ecosoapia
21st Century Health have launched Ecosoapia in October 2006, an organic ethical hand and body wash. Its aim is to introduce to consumers with an organic liquid soap that is free from all nasty chemicals that can be found in so many soap in the market today.

Product - Organic Liquid Soap
Ecosoapia introduces a luxurious organic liquid soap that is available in 7 different fragrances:


  • Almond
  • Eucalyptus
  • Peppermint
  • Lavender
  • Rose
  • Tea Tree
  • Unscented
The liquid soap is available in 295ml/9.98 floz bottles with pump dispensers.

This Ecosoapia organic soap is free from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), artificial colour, fragrances, synthetic preservatives or parabens. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Furthermore, it is kind to your skin as it is kind to the environment.

Besides SLS (which can be found in my previous post - Potential Harmful Chemicals in Commercial Soaps), parabens is another most common chemicals that are found in conventional cleansers. Parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben or others) are chemical preservatives that allows products to have longer shelf-life. However, some studies or reports have claimed that parabens stimulate breast cancer.

Certified
Besides being approved by the Soil Association (the largest British organic body that approves over 70% of organic British produce), Ecosoapia has been awarded both the Chemical Consumer Award and Consumer Award from Allergy UK, which is important for allergy sufferers.

Contribution Back to Our Planet
The company also gives 10 percent of its profits to Irasambi, a Brazilian group working to preserve the rainforest. Not only is the product itself good for you and the environment, buying it is good for the environment as well.

Using them also makes you feel as though you are helping the environment as money from profits goes straight to helping conserve the rainforests.

Think of Buying?
It is likely that Ecosoapia products generally are not available at your local natural foods store because it is still a relatively new company.

You can order them online and of course, you will like to get better price at Ecohip, a division of 21st Century Health.

Before giving this product a try, there are points to note
- The price are usually quoted in British pound.
- Check the shipping charges and other terms and conditions.
