coconut oil soap - fair trade coconut soap bar
We are very excited to add this beautifully simple fair trade coconut soap bar to our range. Made locally by a fabulous natural soap maker, this delightfully pure natural soap bar is ideal for the most sensitive skin & perfect for delicate dry skin. Formulated with 100% organic tree goodness, this unscented recipe includes generous amounts of fairtrade organic coconut oil & fairtrade, virgin shea butter for moisturising bubbles.
Fairtrade Coconuts The beautiful organic coconut oil used in our soap, is fairly traded with Indonesian island communities throughout the Pacific Ocean. All the oil comes from family farms only, where individual families work together to collect & process small amounts of coconuts on a daily basis. This special small scale system in place across the Pacific islands ensures that the oil is of the highest quality & is created within one hour of breaking open the nuts! The processing is also highly sustainable as there is absolutely no wastage whatsoever. Every part of the process is used in some form, from fuel to animal cake.
An integral part of tropical island life, coconut production forms a pivotal role in the lives of coastal communities, of which many are now endangered. By purchasing this fair trade coconut oil we support not only the livelihoods of island communities, but their language & cultures, their forests & reefs. Bypassing conventional coconut production & the devastating effects of copra processing provides sustainable employment, a better standard of living & long term protection for fragile eco-systems & vulnerable communities. This breaks the cycle of oppression & poverty inflicted on hard working people. Coconut oil production is also helping to rebuild Solomon Island communities destroyed by the April 2007 Tsunami.
Lets spread the positive effects of fair trade!
