KIND solutions: Guarding Your Skin Against Sun Damage
Winter was pretty brutal. Gloomy gray skies and chilly temps kept most of us indoors. While spring temps bounce around, we may not be as guarded against damaging effects of the sun. In truth, we should protect our skin year ‘round. Before we dive in the deep end of our sun-worshipping pursuits, let’s review some ways we can protect and pamper our golden glow.
Sun: Necessary or Evil?Thanks to a lot of educated people and valid research, we know that over-exposed skin can be at risk. The “C-Word” is terrifying, and we’ve become hyper-sensitive to solar-subjection as a result.While caution needs...
KIND’s Winter Skin Survival Guide
For most of us, Old Man Winter seems to be shuffling his feet through February at a snail’s pace. His icy, cold breath hangs in the air sapping the moisture right out of our skin. Our faces, lips, and hands feel chapped and painful. Plenty of products promise you reprieve, but the relief seems only temporary. What gives?

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. Every handmade soap and skin care line is created with purpose, quality, safety, and care. It’s the standard we set. And it will not change. Ever. The process takes time. 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...
