David's EcoSoaps are 100% natural, handmade soap bars that minimize environmental damage with phosphate-free soap bases. When commercial soap products run down the drain, their chemicals seep into groundwater, lakes, and streams, where lingering phosphates amplify the growth of algae blooms and turn local freshwater bodies eutrophic. This increase in algae reduces the amount of available oxygen in aquatic ecosystems, causing thousands of aquatic organisms to die each year. Then, as these organisms decompose, decomposers consume larger amounts of oxygen, continuing to reduce the available oxygen in the ecosystem. This cycle continues until the entire ecosystem is gone. It's ironic that the very product we use to clean our bodies pollutes ecosystems and also damages our skin. We coat our skin with dozens of toxic chemicals found in commercial soap products and then let them run down our drains and into our water systems. David's Ecosoaps uses completely natural soap bases that are handcrafted to moisturize your skin and soothe skin conditions like eczema, which may be irritated by chemicals found in commercial soap products. Ingredients: Biodegradable Base (Coconut Milk, Goat Milk, or Shea Butter), Sodium Hydroxide, Mica Minerals, Biodegradable Fragrance Oils
