KLEANSE by Kathi N.

Did you know the human body is our largest and most absorbent organ? It is also reportedly known that anything applied to the skin for over 26 seconds can allow toxins and chemicals to enter your bloodstream.

Spending almost a decade in the automotive service industry, I had to begin investing in my skin as commercial-made soaps are not created to nurture, nourish, or protect your skin (which includes detergents, harsh chemicals, and harmful ingredients- commonly found in liquid soap as well). Many mass-produced products by popular retailers contain a variety of harsh agents to prolong shelf-life, increase lather and bubbles, etc, which can be harmful to the body when used over a long period of time.

After sustaining an injury that did not allow me to work full-time for over 4+ years, I started to think of multiple ways that I can transform everyone's everyday routine when the pandemic started in 2020. I wanted to be able to create something that would not only help the community, but also create awareness on the importance of understanding the type of products and ingredients we come into contact with every day, consciously and subconsciously.

Through experimenting with multiple formulas and months of receiving encouraging reviews from family, friends, and peers, the obsession with formulating the perfect combination of ingredients bloomed my small business journey. Every final product is mindfully and sustainably handcrafted with earth-derived and biodegradable ingredients, including natural plant botanicals.

The method used to craft our natural artisan soap is known as Cold-Process. To achieve the perfect bar of soap, a combination of nurturing and hydrating ingredients goes through a phase called saponification- a chemical reaction that allows an alkali solution (sodium hydroxide and water) to break down oils into fatty acid salt and glycerin, giving us the final result of what we know today as soap.

All recipes are formulated based on personal experience and extensive research on the benefits provided from hemp and plant-based ingredients that will protect our skin in the long run. All bath and body bar soaps are infused with vitamins and minerals from plants for unlimited skin nourishment and protection. Packaged sustainably. Free of phthalate, paraben, and cruelty.

Elevate your self-care routine, & always remember to educate those around you
