Why Suncups Soap?

Eliminate Plastic Bottles.

Suncups Soap comes in bars. Bars don’t need plastic bottles that fill landfills and leech Estrogenic chemicals!

The liquid shampoo itself is mostly water that literally washes down the drain not long after you squeeze a big gloop from the bottle. Bars give us what we need without excess going straight down the drain, without the plastic leftover, and without Estrogenic chemicals.

Stop washing with science experiments!

Soap is as old as time. It’s not complicated. It’s made from a fat source and lye. If you want it to smell nice, you can add flowers and herbs. You add essential oils! You don’t need to add alcohol, detergent, glycerin, dye, and harsh products - not to something you rub on your body every day.

Quality Matters

Suncups Soap is a pleasure - not a luxury. Soap is something that touches your body every day. It cleanses in an up-close, intimate way.

Treat your skin to beautiful things - not cheap, chemical-filled, artificially scented bubble blocks.

Beautiful things that are handcrafted with care bring joy to our daily routine. Quality matters.

Plastic leeching? Toxic chemicals? Plastic?

Why should that bother me?

You’ve heard of BPA, right? BPA is an additive in plastics that was invented decades and decades ago, has been commonly used in injection molding. Recently, many studies have confirmed BPAs can “leech” out of plastic into the products they hold - baby milk, water, etc. The leeching chemicals have “Estrogenic Activity” (EA) that has been widely criticized for having many adverse health impacts, as the chemicals mimic the hormone estrogen. While many companies have moved toward “BPA free” plastic, recent studies published in Environmental Health Perspectives (Yang, Yaniger, Jordan, et. all, 2011), that most plastic products release Estrogenic chemicals, including those that are BPA free (Environmental Health. Bittner GD, Yang CZ, Stoner MA. Environ Health. 2014 May 28; 13(1):41. Epub 2014 May 28.).

The good news is, we don’t typically ingest soap, shampoo, and conditioner like many products housed in plastic bottles and containers. We do, however, use these products on the most sensitive areas of our bodies, including our mucus membranes, which are particularly absorptive.

Why use plastic to hold shampoo and conditioners if there is an alternative? There is - shampoo bars.
