UNLIKE ANY SOAP ON EARTH:
1. CERTIFIED ORGANIC: no residual pesticides/herbicides in your soap or in your body.
2. SPECIALLY FORMULATED for dry/sensitive skin and eczema: far more moisturizing than ordinary soap/body wash. Made with skin-nourishing, organic extra virgin olive oil.
3. NO CHEMICAL ADDITIVES: no phthalates, detergents, colors, or fragrances means no toxic chemicals in your body.
4. LASTS 3 TO 5 WEEKS: our bars last longer because they're large, air cured, & made with hard butters like shea butter
5. SUSTAINABLE: no more plastic bottles in our oceans. No rainforest-destroying palm oil.
"By far the best soap I've ever used. Natural ingredients, great scents and best of all—no palm oil!
"I feel great using a product that works well and is so environmentally friendly."
"Love love love this soap. I was amazed at how my skin no longer needed moisturizer. The dryness was gone.
"And one bar lasted five weeks. That alone makes this soap one-of-a-kind. Because it's so rich and moisturizing, I even use it for shaving.
"S.M.O.C. Skincare soap is delightful and surprisingly long lasting. The creaminess is unbelievable!
"Bathing with it is a sensual experience. Well worth the price!"
Why Organic Soap?
Your skin is your body’s largest organ.
What you put on it gets absorbed directly into your body.
Most soaps are made from plants grown using pesticides and herbicides—toxic chemicals linked to cancer [7, 8], often sprayed by plane while farmworkers are still in the fields. Those toxins remain on the plant and end up in your soap and in your body.
S.M.O.C. Skincare only uses oil from certified organic farms. Organic means no pesticides, no herbicides.
Pesticide Path
Plants ➤ Plant Oil ➤ Soap ➤ Your Body
Plants become soap
Soap is made from plants. Organic means no herbicides or pesticides, which means none on the plants, in your soap, or in your body.
Plant Oil ► Soap
Pesticides and herbicides sprayed on plants remain in the plant oil. At S.M.O.C. Skincare, we only use plant oils from certified organic farms.
Certified Organic
S.M.O.C. Skincare is certified organic by Oregon Tilth, a non-profit Accredited Certifying Agent for the USDA's National Organic Program.
Looking for this logo?
You won't see it on soap because the USDA doesn't allow its usage on soap. If you see this logo on soap, the soap is most likely in violation of federal law.
The law says...
Soap can only display the logo of an accredited certifying agent, like Oregon Tilth. Soap can't be called "organic" unless it's certified organic by an organization like Oregon Tilth.
We are certified
Many skincare companies claim to be organic but do not have any certification. Some even display the USDA Organic logo despite the legal prohibition.
What Are Phthalates?
Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals linked to cancer. Phthalates are found in fragrances, body washes and most soaps. Our soaps are made with essential oils—not fragrances—and contain no phthalates.
"S.M.O.C. soaps improved my skin moisture. I know they're feeding my skin with healthy ingredients.
What surprises me the most is how long the bars last! They cost less per use than typical soaps."
"This soap is amazing! First of all, it's good to know that all the ingredients come from a good source. Second, the soap feels incredibly soft and sensuous to lather on. And third, one bar lasts seemingly forever. I couldn't recommend it enough!"
We Use No Palm Oil Because...
Palm oil plantations are planted on cleared and burned rainforest land which kills endangered animals (like these orangutans) and accelerates global warming.
