We make bodywash and may get called \u0026lsquo;the soap people\u0026rsquo; on occasion, but what people really mean is that we\u0026rsquo;re the bar people. Shampoo, conditioner, face-cleansers \u0026ndash; you name it.

But unlike a bottled product, water isn\u0026rsquo;t the first one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003eWe removed water and plastic bottles in favour of packaging functional ingredients in bar form.

It means that we\u0026rsquo;ll never be able to compete with supermarket pricing for cheap products that cause environmental destruction with their choice of ingredients. To be frank, we wouldn\u0026rsquo;t have it any other way. Sustainability is our jam and we don\u0026rsquo;t take it lightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003eTo us, a sustainable product is more than being plastic-free. Sustainability encompasses every aspect of what we do. It means caring for people, the planet \u0026ndash; and staying in business while we\u0026rsquo;re at it. We weigh the pros and cons to uncover the kindest, most sustainable option, and only then find a way to make it profitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003eOur solid products are made with only biodegradable, palm oil-free, naturally derived and sustainably sourced ingredients which can be 8-16 times more expensive than their counterparts. These ingredients are fairly traded or sourced from direct trade relationships to secure fair prices and safe work conditions for our suppliers. Ethique packaging is 100% plastic-free, recyclable, biodegradable and certified compostable. Surprisingly, it costs 10-25 times more than plastic equivalents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003eWe\u0026rsquo;re New Zealand\u0026rsquo;s highest rating bCorp (top 10% of all BCorps globally),and are living wage certified employers.

We want to create a world without single-use plastics and believe that we can make a difference, but this can only happen if people are willing and able to join us. That\u0026rsquo;s why we\u0026rsquo;re always looking for ways to reduce our prices, without compromising on the product itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003eThoughts?

For example, one clever little shampoo bar has the same hair cleaning power as three 350ml (11.83oz) bottles or more than a one litre (33.81oz) of salon quality liquid shampoo. Conditioner is even more impressive \u0026ndash; one bar saves you buying five 350ml bottles.

Your average supermarket conditioner bottle is made of up to 95% water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003eWhen you look at it like that, it\u0026rsquo;s easy to see why you would expect to pay a wee bit more \u0026ndash; add together the cost of buying three bottles of decent-ish shampoo from the supermarket, and it\u0026rsquo;s about equivalent to one Ethique bar. That bar? It lasts much longer too. On average, a shampoo bar lasts for at least 3 months and a conditioner bar will typically last for about 6 months.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003eWe also put more into each pack than just super-concentrated ingredients: ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e"],"image":[[{"filename":"Placeholder.jpg","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_type":"image","alt":"","id":1588380951474,"key":"48619814954\/1588380951474\/Placeholder.jpg","scope":"48619814954","handle":"1588380951474","src":"https:\/\/cdn.accentuate.io\/48619814954\/1588380951474\/Placeholder.jpg?v=0","original_src":"https:\/\/original.accentuate.io\/48619814954\/1588380951474\/Placeholder.jpg?v=0","cloudinary_src":"https:\/\/images.accentuate.io\/?image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.accentuate.io%2F48619814954%2F1588380951474%2FPlaceholder.jpg%3Fv%3D0\u0026c_options=","width":800,"height":800,"aspect_ratio":1}]],"image_position":["left"],"order":["3"],"title":["A bottle vs a bar"]},
