Soap Hope - A Company You Should Know About

As you can guess by my product reviews, I'm always looking for the newest and cutest in eco-friendly products. Somehow, though, this company escaped my radar; until a couple months ago.. during a random Google search for Zum Soaps, up popped this website: SoapHope.com

I reluctantly clicked, and skeptically glanced at the site. It was simple. No flashy graphics. No sleek design. But, what it did have, was low prices.. and a cause.

I'm always wary of ordering from websites I don't know. I tend to stick with stores and brands that I'm familiar with, but on a whim.. I placed an order. And I'm so glad I did.

First, as an eco-conscious consumer, I look at the products. Soap Hope has a lineup of organic and natural products; including Indigo Wild/Zum Soap, Acure Organics, BioKleen, and others.

Then, I look at the philosophy of the company. Do they care about the environment? Or are they just following a fad? Do they support any causes? On this front, Soap Hope is a real winner. Soap Hope donates 100% of their profits to women. "Every time you shop at Soap Hope, all the profits from the sale go to help an aspiring woman become educated, obtain healthcare, and start her own trade so she can support her family."

Lastly, I pay attention to how the products are packaged for shipping; an often overlooked quality. It doesn't feel as positive to me, to buy ecological products, if they're sent to me in plastic bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts. Again, Soap Hope gets an A++ on this one. They've cleverly implemented what they call "the Ugly Box" method of shipment.

As it says, they use scrap pieces of cardboard to tightly package your items. The only filler I've seen used was standard tissue paper. It makes for a compact, cheaper to ship, ugly.. and fabulous.. shipping container.

Obviously, this company has a lot going for it on the positive side. What about my orders?

I had nothing but positive experiences. My first order was all Indigo Wild/Zum products, which you've probably seen in my list of reviews. But that's when I got my first surprise. With each order, Soap Hope includes five sample items from the rest of their line-up. Due to that, I got to experience Acure Organics for the first time.. and am now waiting on that order to arrive. I realized later, that you can actually pick the five samples you want to try when you place your order. Awesome.

As for customer service, I can't provide too much input.. since I've had no problems to contact them about. But I can tell you that after my third or fourth order, they emailed me just to verify that everything was okay with my order. Nice and unexpected.

The last little tidbit I want to make sure to mention, is that feel-good feeling you get when you place your order. Not only do you know you're buying earth-friendly products, and that your money is going to a good cause. During checkout, the website specifically tells you how much your particular purchase has helped; as in, it tells you how many days it will sustain a woman's endeavors.

I truly can't recommend this website enough. I have yet to encounter one negative. So, should you find yourself reluctantly browsing their site; as I once did... go ahead and order. You won't regret it.
