Vegan Soaps From The Heart Of The Amazon
Discover the segredinho (little secret) to what makes our soaps so great.
- By Tania Menai
Our Vegan Soap Bars will cleanse, moisturize, and exfoliate skin. These organic, tropical-scented soaps are extra creamy, all-natural, and perfect for sensitive skin on your face and body.
Want to know the secret to making the perfect soap? Respect and care when harvesting Amazonian ingredients and manufacturing products.
Our soap production follows strict guidelines to ensure every single step of the process respects the forest and its farmers. For example, instead of using plastic beads to stimulate exfoliation, we use Maracujá, Açaí and Linhaça seeds, which are carefully cleaned and dried before being added to the soap mix. This way, we maximize the benefits from nature while minimizing waste.
Another characteristic of our products is that our collection*, including our soap bars, is vegan. This means that no product or by-product used in our recipe has animal origins or is tested on animals.
To understand how our processes respect your skin, the earth, and its local communities, let us take you to the small village of Benevides, in the Brazilian Amazon region. In Benevides we’ve built Ecoparque, an ecosystem of industrial plants that is focused on transforming waste of one party into the raw materials for another. Every aspect of this place is committed to environmental protection and invites staff and guests to act and think sustainably.
At Ecoparque, workers press natural ingredients, gathered in the Amazon, to extract their butters and oils. This is an important detail of our recipe, as it is what makes our soaps stand out.
Raimundo Braga, the supervisor of the farmer’s cooperative, says: “It motivates me to know that the fruits and nuts our farmers provide, to the making of these soaps, is a way to keep them in business and supporting their families. Not to mention, this is a rewarding way to preserve our nature – that’s what our planet needs.”
Palm oil is another crucial ingredient when it comes to making soap. We source ours from certified suppliers who have also partnered with an initiative called Saf Dendê. Saf Dendê focuses on turning palm oil production, a commodity usually grown in monoculture, into a diverse and agroecological system – one that reverses deforestation and preserves local biodiversity, is free of chemical fertilizers, and protects both the forest and the local community’s economy.
Each NaturaBrasil soap offers a different shower experience. Whether you're looking for a gentle and creamy exfoliation, a light and tropical scent, or a cocooning softness, there is a soap for you. Shop our Soap Set with our best-selling vegan soaps.
*With the exception of the Castanha Body Butter, Castanha Creamy Body Wash and Cacau Creamy Body Wash, all our products are vegan.
