LATHER Olive Oil Soaps for a Good Cause

LATHER has two new cruelty free, vegan, olive oil soaps: Orange Peel and Patchouli soaps ($8.00 each), made from organic olive oil and other natural ingredients.

• Perfect for normal or combination skin, Orange Peel Soap includes organic orange oil to gently cleanse with a bright, citrus scent. Organic orange peel is added for light exfoliation while rosemary extract acts as a natural preservative.

• Patchouli Olive Oil Soap is great for all skin types, but especially soothing to dry skin. In addition to olive oil it includes hemp oil, one of nature’s best emollients, to help repair the skin’s moisture barrier. Patchouli essential oil is blended with lavender for a nice balance of warm, earthy, herbal and floral.

Beginning January 1, 2012, for each bar of Olive Oil Soap sold, LATHER will make a donation to Clean the World, allowing five soap bars to be recycled, sanitized, and distributed. Since 2009, Clean the World has collected, recycled and distributed more than 9.5 million soap bars to children and families in need in the United States, Canada and more than 45 countries, with the goal of preventing millions of deaths caused by hygiene-related illnesses.

The full line of LATHER Olive Oil Soaps that will contribute to Clean the World include: Yuzu, Seven Seed Lemon & Rosemary, Rose Tangerine Lavender, Clove, Wild Mint, Lemongrass, Rosemary & Peppermint, Oatmeal Lavender, Honey Almond, Lavender Lime, Orange Peel, and Patchouli.

LATHER, which also creates amenity collections for hotels and resorts nationwide, has already donated nearly 200,000 bars of hotel soap to help advance Clean the World’s global hygiene revolution. The soaps filled 20 pallets that were received at Clean the World’s Las Vegas recycling operations center in November.
