  • 1️⃣ First of all, it’s better for your skin.

    Cold-process soap is made with Simple ingredients and contains Natural glycerin, which is a byproduct of saponification. It helps lock in your skin’s natural moisture and is perfect for all skin types, including oily skin. This is because glycerin is non-greasy.

    Unlike commercial body washes, cold-process soap has no added detergents, which strip the skin of its natural oils. Manufacturers tend to remove the natural glycerin from their soap as an additive to their lotions and moisturizers, cutting corners to increase profit. MONCstuff® is not about cutting corners.

    2️⃣ Secondly, it’s better for the environment.

    Since all the ingredients are natural, no chemicals are drained in to the Earth. Cold-process soap also has less of a carbon-footprint than any other methods, because there is no additional energy required to produce heat since it’s done so through a chemical reaction.

    3️⃣ Lastly, it’s all about the package ;)

    Because liquid soap requires plastic bottles and with it’s increased water content, they are heavier than bars of soap. That means more energy is used for transporting, on top of the already significant amount of energy needed to produce them.

    🙌🏼🌎 SIMPLY put, cold-process soap, like MONCstuff®, is better for your skin and the Earth!

    ♻️ At MONCstuff® we do all we can to reduce our carbon-footprint and waste where we can.

  • All true soaps are the result of a chemical reaction called saponification that occurs when lye is mixed with fats or oils. It takes approximately one month for the soap to cure. The end result is true soap without any traces of lye. The lack of heat in this process keeps essential oils intact for a better lather than other soap-making methods.

    *Our goal is to keep improving our products while searching for more sustainable alternatives, and keep decreasing our carbon footprint. We know palm oil has a reputation. However, the truth is it’s not a black and white issue, and places do do things differently. Palm oil is an essential part of Thailand’s economy. No biodiverse forests are being destroyed to make for palm tree plantations, the land is allocated by the government.

  • There is NO such thing. The USDA has specific rules for organic labeling based on three tiers of certification:

    1️⃣ 100% Organic

    Only if 100% of the ingredients are organically grown and produced (excluding water and salt). Even though there are no traces of lye (sodium hydroxide) in the finished product, it is impossible to make true soap without it. Therefore, there is no such thing as “100% organic” soap.

    2️⃣ Organic

    If 95% to 99% of the ingredients are organic. The remaining 5% must consist of non-agricultural substances on the approved USDA ingredient list. The chemistry of soap making requires about 8-15% lye. Even though there are no traces of lye in the finished product, no true soap can be 95% organic. Therefore, there is no such thing as “organic” soap.

    3️⃣ Made With Organic Ingredients

    If 70% of the ingredients are organic (excluding water and salt). The remaining 30% must consist of non-agricultural substances on the USDA approved ingredient list.

  • Each package includes ½ a bar of all 4️⃣ MONstuff® scents.
