Ultimate Guide to Eco-Friendly Soap Bars
Skip the greenwashing and embrace truly sustainable washing options. Our natural soap bars stand out as they are organic, vegan, and free from palm oil and SLS. They are also cruelty-free, offering a skin-friendly and planet-friendly choice.
The Importance of Eco-Friendly Soap
Cleanliness is essential, but not at the cost of environmental harm. Our aim is to offer soap bars that are beneficial for the user and the environment. Our chemical-free soap bars embrace vegan and organic practices, avoiding plastic to support your eco-conscious lifestyle. Enriched with coconut oil and devoid of SLS and palm oil, these soaps are gentle on your skin and the environment.
Understanding Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS)
SLS, a common ingredient in many personal care products, can be problematic for sensitive skin. While generally considered safe, studies like one from the University of Bath indicate that SLS can aggravate skin conditions like eczema. At Jungle Culture, we prefer natural ingredients, using coconut oil and sodium hydroxide in our soap-making process, avoiding SLS completely.
Commitment to Orangutan Conservation
We consciously exclude palm oil from our products due to its environmental impact, notably on rainforests and wildlife like orangutans. Our stance is firm against the use of palm oil to protect biodiversity and indigenous communities.
Eco-Friendly Ingredients
Our soaps are crafted from cold-pressed coconut oil sourced responsibly from Vietnam. These coconuts are grown sustainably, without harmful pesticides, adapting well to climate challenges. Coconut oil is not only environmentally friendly but also beneficial for your skin, offering hydration and antibacterial properties.
More Than Just Coconut Oil
Jungle Culture soaps also feature ingredients like ground coffee beans and organic essential oils like ginger and kaffir lime. All our ingredients are plant-based, aligning with our commitment to cruelty-free products.
The Natural Soap-Making Process
In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, our soaps are handcrafted using a cold process. The ingredients are meticulously mixed and set in aluminium moulds, drying naturally over weeks. This patient, eco-friendly process results in zero-waste soap bars that are kind to both your skin and the planet.
