Higher Commitment to Natural
These days, everyone claims to have natural products. This is why we decided to pursue organic certification for our soaps and soap making supplies. Organic certification represents a higher commitment to natural. It not only means we don't use unnatural or unhealthy ingredients. More importantly, it means we use only the purest ingredients, ones grown and produced sustainably and in accordance with USDA Organic standards.
Sustainability
Reuse. Reuse. Recycle.
Palm Oil. Palm oil is becoming a problem, because palm plantations in Indonesia and the mainland of southeast Asia are rapidly taking over forests. In addition to the basic problem of deforestation, this is a concern because it severely diminishes animal habitat in these regions. In particular, it threatens orangutan viability. At Botanie Soap, we use only certified organic palm oil from South American countries that is grown and produced using high levels of sustainability. We do not source any palm oil out of southeast Asia or Indonesia.
Local Ingredients. Beginning in 2009, we are working directly with an organic farmer here in Montana to provide our sunflower and safflower oil. Sunflower/safflower oil is the largest ingredient in our soap recipe, and we are proud to know the farmer directly.
The Little Details Count. Even the company we work with to host this website is green and supplies all its power through wind.
