Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness of Cold Process Soap

As more and more people become aware of the impact their choices have on the environment, the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products is growing. Cold process soaps is a great option for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the planet. Here are some reasons why cold process soap is a sustainable and eco-friendly choice:

  1. Natural Ingredients

    Here at Ordinarily Extra, our cold process soap is made from natural ingredients such as oils, lye, and water. These ingredients are renewable and biodegrade, meaning that they break downs naturally without causing harm to the environment. Unlike some synthetic detergents and fragrances used in commercial soaps, natural ingredients are not harmful to aquatic life or the environment.

  2. Minimal Packaging

    Cold process soap comes in minimal packaging, making it a more sustainable option than liquid soap, which often comes in plastic bottles that contribute to landfill waste. Instead, bio-based, biodegradable, recyclable and compostable Brown Kraft paper is used for the labels.

  3. Long-Lasting

    Cold process soap is typically long-lasting, meaning that it needs to be replaced less frequently than other types of soap. This reduces the amount of waster that is generated and saves resources in the long run.

  4. Versatility

    Cold process soap can be used for a variety of purposes beyond washing hands including bathing and face cleansing. This versatility means that fewer products are needed, reducing the amount of waste and resources used.

  5. Local Production

    Ordinarily Extra uses locally-sourced oils and small, family business for their ingredient needs. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and supports local economies and small businesses.
