Living in a Soaptopian World

Contributed By: ecofabulous

Soaps can contain really nasty stuff. Many bar soaps are made using harsh chemicals, like ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (aka EDTA) - an amino acid that binds to heavy metals, like mercury. We’re not sure what it’s doing there, but we’re pretty worried about it. The EPA reports that when this stuff gets rinsed down the drain it eventually ends up contaminating our waterways and poisoning the fish we eat. Solution? The easiest way is to go the all-natural route (which solves a host of other toxic dilemmas, too).

Jolie Chitwood, the master brewer behind the Soaptopia potions, started with a vision to combat the synthetic market and transform her world into an apothecary of flowers and natural oils. The line is all-natural, synthetic free, petroleum void, animal friendly and “100% pure yumminess.” Many Soaptopians say that the junk-free body products are the cure-all for super sensitive skin issues. We were converted by the fresh, clean combinations of lemon, eucalyptus and cinnamon - smells that settled from head to toe!
