Our Story
SoapBerry SolutionsTM was founded on an obsessive need for cleaner laundry, married with an intense desire to change the world. We are committed to providing high-quality natural soaps, using sustainable resources, and improving the lives of people throughout our sphere of doing business.
Through our business model we achieve a full-circle pattern of giving. All of our raw ingredients are found directly in nature, our packaging is environmentally conscious, and we give a portion of our proceeds to save lives with soap. We believe that in this way, we are truly recycling the planet's resources and sharing the abundance we enjoy.
How Soap Saves Lives
Living in a society where being a clean freak is an option, it’s hard to imagine how a simple solution like soap can save lives.
The overwhelming truth is that the biggest killers of children around the world are two preventable diseases.
Checking the fact sheets the World Health Organization keeps on childhood mortality, you’ll find that pneumonia (along with other acute respiratory illnesses) and diarrheal diseases are responsible for 3.5 million deaths a year. That’s one death every 9 seconds.
Studies show, 50% of these deaths can be prevented,
Simply by washing hands with soap.
Caring for the World, One Family at a Time
We don’t know how many lives we can save and improve through better health conditions with our small donations of soap. But, we do know this. Soap makes all the difference in the world to the families who receive it.
When we give, fewer children have to accept disease and death as a normal part of life. Fewer parents grieve the loss of a child. Together we can change their whole world with just a few pieces of soap. And we do it one family at a time.
