Caring Causes - Sun Basin Soap

 

Good Store, founded by brothers Hank and John Green, who also serve as the company’s self-appointed “unpaid interns”, was created to donate 100% of profit to charity and has generated more than $13.5 million in charitable donations to date.  Today, Good Store announced the expansion of its Sun Basin collection with three new product categories: Conditioner Bars, Facial Cleaning Bars, and Shave Soap Bars.  

Sun Basin is a hidden hollow tucked into the mountains of Missoula, Montana, where nature, scent, and intention coalesce into body, face, and hair care products that nourish your skin and hair. Handcrafted in Missoula with thoughtfully selected natural ingredients, Sun Basin products are designed to elevate your everyday personal care rituals while replacing traditional bottled products with high-quality, long-lasting, plastic-free alternatives.  

And what begins in the Sun Basin ripples outward: 100% of Sun Basin profits are donated to charity.

The three new products build on the popularity of Sun Basin’s bar soap and shampoo bars and bring the collection closer to a complete routine for hair, face and body.  The Conditioner Bar, developed in response to requests from Good Store customers, is color-safe, designed for all hair types and replaces approximately two bottles of traditional conditioner. The Facial Cleansing Bar gently cleans with vitamin C and turmeric for brightening and tone-evening properties.  And the Shave Soap Bar creates a rich, cushioning lather for a smooth shave, without aerosol cans or plastic bottles.

Like the rest of the Sun Basin collection, the new products come in recyclable, plastic-free packaging and are formulated without sulfates or parabens.

“Soap isn’t going to change the world, but what we do with the profit from selling it might,” said Hank Green, Good Store co-founder and unpaid intern.  “Good Store is built around a pretty simple idea:  people are already buying things like soap, shampoo, socks and coffee.  If we make those products really good, the profits from those everyday purchases can help put a bit of good out into the world when we donate 100% of profit to charity.”

Good Store donates 100% of profit from every Sun Basin purchase to Partners in Health in support of the Maternal Center of Excellence (MCOE), which offers world-class medical care to mothers and babies in the Kono District of Sierra Leone.

“Our customers have been asking us for a conditioner bar to go with our Sun Basin shampoo bars, and we listened,” said LJ Joukovski, CEO of Good Store.  “Good Store is a better way to get better everyday products.  We seek out the best version of the things that people already use and then direct the profits to high-impact charitable projects.  Join us!  Your skin and hair will be happy, and you can feel good about where the profits are going.”

The new Sun Basin Conditioner Bar, Facial Cleansing Bar, and Shave Soap Bar prices range from $9 to $44, and are available to shop now on Good.Store.
