Hand in hand soap bar review and giveaway

 

Hand in Hand soap sent me a few bars to sample in White tea, Orange Blossom, and lavender. These smell so good! They sud and clean really well. There is NO Palm oil in the bars which makes me happy. Check out their blog! 

Here are more reasons that I LOVE this product!  

• 50 sq ft of rainforest saved for every bar purchased 
• Made in the USA!!!
• 100% vegetable based, vegan, organic ingredients, gluten-free, biodegradable, palm-free & cruelty-free -
• Fair Trade USA certified 
• Natural Products Association certified 
• All shipments include carbon offset and eco-friendly packaging  
• Paraben-free & petrochemical-free 
• Fair trade certified fairtradeusa.org.
• Palm oil Free - Did you know that palm oil is a very common ingredient in many organics? I learned from www.handinhandsoap.com that while palm oil is common, the environment is damaged for its productions. Over 80% is derived from Southeast Asia and leads to clearing of tropical rainforests. United Nations Environmental Programm predicts palm oil industry could wipe out 98% of Indonesia's remaining forests in the next NINE years. These palm oil farms have been linked to declining biodiversity, degradation of soil, and carbon emissions. There is also the issue of land rights and disregard for local communities.
• Green packaging and green shipping. The soaps paper is made from 30% recycled material. After each order is placed, Hand in Hand Soap  purchases a corresponding carbon offset so each shipment becomes carbon neutral. Carbon offsetting is a way to counterbalance or compensate for the greenhouse gases produced during shipment. They reduce carbon footprints by supporting projects which remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere through Carbonfund.org.
• 1 bar of soap & 1 month of clean water donated for every bar purchased  - Here is an excerpt from the hand in hand website “Each year more than 5 million people, mainly children, die in impoverished areas of the world due to respiratory infections and diarrhoeal diseases. These diseases kill more people in a year than HIV and malaria combined.The majority of these illnesses are caused by the lack of proper hygiene and clean water. Studies have shown that hand washing with soap can reduce nearly half of these infections that ultimately lead to death. Prevention is key. Simply put, a bar of soap can save a life.”
