Review (2/5): Not an eco-friendly company; would never purchase this product again.
States that their mission is to repurpose organic goods into innovative and eco-friendly products and that their packaging is 100% recyclable, and the exfoliating coffee grounds are repurposed to lower landfill waste. The bottom of the box reads: "Providing the highest quality beauty products while minimizing our footprint on the environment."
First, the three soap bars you receive are little; like taking a normal sized bar of soap and cutting it three ways. As any soap user knows, once the bar is used down to a certain size, it's ready to be replaced. And since these pieces are already so small, it's not long before you reach the replacement decision point, but x 3, as opposed to x 1 for a normal sized bar of soap. So for a very high price for what's a normal sized bar of soap cut up three ways, you'll be going through these bars fast, possibly wasting more, and needing to buy more sooner -- not eco-friendly!
The package is meant to give the impression of being earthy and eco-friendly. It's in a high-quality cardboard box (and not the recycled cardboard type), and the soap is surrounded with some shredded newspaper to give the impression of recycling/repurposing. Inside were some additional card inserts which were unnecessary. Then around Christmas time, I receive an enveloped Christmas Card (nice quality) from the “Urbanized Family" - at the time, I didn't know who the "Urbanized" family was or why they were sending me a card. Later I realized that the card was related to the soap purchase; - the card, of course, had gone right into the trash as junk mail. How very wasteful for a company touting itself as eco-friendly, wanting to help the world lower landfill waste, and promoting itself as a business with the goal of minimizing their “…footprint on the environment."
In my opinion, overpriced soap (attractive looking and with a light scent, but nothing really special) and a marketing strategy insincerely meant to play to the conscious of people looking to spend their money in ways that contribute to a more eco-friendly world.
