How Handmade Soap is Created

We live in a mass-produced world. It’s the manufacturer's response to a consumer-driven society. Unfortunately, mass-production doesn’t always equate with high-quality, carefully selected ingredients. This will never be the case for KIND soap company products.

Small-batch production allows us to create soaps, lotions, scrubs, and specialty products that are nourishing, never compromising. There’s an art to crafting handmade soaps that are sudsy, moisturizing, and gentle. Because you deserve to be...

KIND to Skin: The Benefits of Choosing Handmade, Natural Soap

It may seem silly to care about the ingredients in your soap. After all, you wash it down the drain. If it gets you clean, why worry? Images of happy babies, kissable skin, and delicate suds convince us that most products on store shelves are safe for your loved ones. This may not always be the case. Choosing natural, handmade soaps can be an easy way to ensure your family is safely cleansed, but the benefits extend beyond the bubbles.
There’s an awakening happening. We’re realizing that mass-produced consumer goods aren’t always made with our best interest in mind. When it...

At KIND soap, we believe this superfood deserves the spotlight year-round for the incredible benefits it provides to your skin.

While it may be slightly entertaining to envision the pumpkin, donned in a flowing cape, standing atop a mass of inferior fruits and veggies, we truly hope to shine a light on the reasons why this gourd gets such a powerful title.Nutritional SuperiorityThere’s no argument against a pump of pumpkin...
