- Helping Women - We partner with local non-profit: HER CAMPAIGN a rescue home for trafficked and abuse survivors. We choose to make a personal impact and do more than just give a percentage of our proceeds with our Work Therapy Internship for women in need. When you buy our soaps and bath products, interns may have helped with the packaging, or assisted in the making or clean up.  Over the past two years we have had 4 girls come in and intern with us for up to a year.  Each girl was at a different stage in her journey and has different abilities, skills and strengths.  We treat them with love and respect and teach them how to reintegrate into the work force. It gives them a job on their resume, a positive work environment, and creates good relationships to break cycles of addiction & hopelessness in their lives.

The Journey of Every Rock Creek Soap: Each bar of soap begins with sustainable ingredients that are prepared in small batches and hand-poured into our custom molds. Our soap rests for one full day before it is washed, hand-cut, trimmed and stamped. After curing for 30 days, our soap bars are placed in a biodegradable box made from recycled cardboard, then are ready to be sent directly to you!

Olive Oil - high in oleic acid, vitamins E & K and rich in omega 6 and 3 fatty acids. 

Orchid Flower Extract disbursed in Canola Oil

Palm Oil - Sustainable (always!!!) - we always use sustainable palm oil, what that means is, as soon as harvest is done, the farmers are replenishing and replanting, and not disturbing important ecosystems, which is a great thing because palm oil has many benefits for soap, beyond making a creamy, hard long lasting bar!  It's also high in vitamins A & E, and high in free radicals. Why do we continue to use Palm Oil? (dare I say we still eat Nutella® too?) It's because there are ecosystems that need Palm plants to get planted, and if the need rises for other types of harvests, they'll replant old Palm fields with other oil producing plants. So for now its the best choice to maintain current Palm harvests, and stop deforestation, and ensure that the animals that live in those regions are safe.

Phthalate Free Fragrance - skin safe scents created as close to nature as possible, and free of harmful chemicals.

Polysorbate 80 - an emulsifier used in our bath bombs and shower steamers.  This ingredient allows the water and oil molecules to bind together, this is important when use in the shower and bath because it reduces the slippery feeling that the coconut oil, and essential oils give when used without Poly80.  You'll find Poly80 in eye drops, pickles, and many other household products. 

Propylene Glycol- used in our loofah soaps, its good for skin hydration and helps to alleviate skin dryness & dull appearance.

Safflower Oil - high in linoleic acid, vitamin A & E, and omega 6 and 3 fatty acids. 

Shea Butter - has many fatty acids many linoleic, oleic, palmitic, stearic, as well as omega 3 fatty acids. 

Sodium Bicarbonate - Also know as Baking Soda - this is a water softener and a main ingredient in our Bath Bombs and Shower Steamers, when mixed with citric acid and water it creates a fizzing action!

Sodium Hydroxide - also known as Lye. It is a primary ingredient in ANY soap product, you cannot have soap without lye - otherwise they're lying and it's a detergent based cleanser. We use 100% food grade lye in our soap products, and yes lye is used to balance pH in many products, and some factories use it as a fruit and veggie wash. If you're wondering why our soap ingredients say "saponified oils" instead of sodium hydroxide, it's basically the same thing, once oils and lye mix together, the result is saponified oils, no lye is left in the finished product!

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate - naturally derived from coconut & palm oils - this aids in creating bubbles in our bath bombs

Sorbitol - used in our loofah soaps, it helps aid lather, and similar to glycerin acts as a humectant.

Stearic Acid - used in our loofah soaps, attracts dirt and grime, and without stripping your skin of it's outer layer of moisture it helps remove the dirt and grime.

Sunflower Oil -  non-comedogenic oil that is high in oleic, and linoleic acid and vitamin E and is used as a quick absorbing oil in our body balm. 

Tapioca Starch- used in our body balm to aid absorption and lessen feeling of stickiness on application.
