Do you always offer the same scents?
We are constantly creating new scents and flavors for our products! Please be sure to check our site and visit our shop often to find out about newly added scents. Scents can be tailored or requested for large orders of 10 cases or more. Contact us at shop@clean360.org to learn more!
Is there lye in Clean360 soap?
All real soap is made with lye, also known as sodium hydroxide. The process of making soap – saponification – combines sodium hydroxide with oils, resulting in soap. All of the sodium hydroxide is used in the saponification process, so none remains in the finished product. This is how all real soap is made.
How does Clean360 leave my skin so moisturized?
All Clean360 bar soaps are “superfatted.” This is a process where even more oils are added than what the sodium hydroxide can react with (see above), resulting in “free oil.” This free oil results in soap that is more emollient and moisturizing to the skin.
Can I place a bulk or custom order?
Yes! We welcome large orders and are happy to work with you to customize products for your needs. For wholesale prices and to learn more, please contact us at shop@clean360.org.
Your soap bars look yummy! Are they edible?
Although we use all food-grade ingredients, soap should never be ingested.
