Our Philosophy - Our Standards

​We are...

​​
​A vegan
soap
and
​cosmetics company,
focused
on the
ART
and
SIMPLICITY
of natural
​goodness
in healthy
​skin care and bathing pleasure.

Artful simplicity of pure ingredients is what makes us different.

Waterfall Glen Soap Company is committed to 'Share the Goodness' of vegan, healthy cosmetics and skin care products one bar of soap at a time.

We are committed to vegan-first, natural and organic ingredients for healthy skin, healthy people and a healthy planet.
​
We are  long-standing members of the Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetics Guild and are LeapingBunny certified.  We work hard to maintain certification each year.
​It is a constant reminder of our commitment to our customers and our planet.

We are equally proud of our customer service.  We pledge quick and honest responses to any customer comment or question with well-researched and constructive answers.  Our customers have easy access to our staff by email and telephone to answer questions about our products.

Our products are biodegradable and minimally packaged with recycle and compostable materials.

For starters...
 
Our recipes are exceptional
​...  it's part of what makes us so completely fresh and unique.

We blend herbs, essential oils and skin conditioning formulas  from Eastern European mountain wisdom, Midwestern American folklore and from our own world travels between continents.

​We devote hours of studio trial and research for each product and distill every nuance into beautifully simple recipes.

We wanted to add 'Love' to our list of ingredients but standards wouldn't allow it.  We use certified organic ingredients--herbs and flowers, vegetables and fruits, sustainable oils and butters and pure essential oils to create products that will nourish your skin and be kind to our planet.

Our studio is a fun, crazy and creative place to work.  There's always something to do.  Our products are all about the ingredients.  We hand blend and cold infuse botanicals and essential oils for our skin care products.  We always work in small batches to ensure freshness, consistency, and perfection. 

It is our practice to use raw materials that are sourced in an environmentally and ethically responsible manner.  

Our palm oil is RSPO certified sustainable by the Rainforest Alliance and we buy organic ingredients whenever possible.

We use no GMO's, no parabens, no BHT, no SLS, no petrolatum, no coal tar, no soybean oil and our products are always gluten free.

Customer feedback is a fundamental component of our research and development.  We want to hear from you.  Our growing and evolving customer community spurs the innovation that create new product lines.

Waterfall Glen Soap
has pledged
to be
99% plastic free
with all
of our packaging
before the end of
2019.

We have
one
small blue planet
 to share
​and care for.

It’s time to raise the bar.

In 2015, global plastic consumption was a staggering 448 million tons.
There are approximately 9 billion tons of total plastic in the world today. Of that 9 billion plus tons of plastic, 6.9 billion tons are now waste, and over 6 billion tons of that waste has never seen the inside of a recycling bin.  

Six billion tons of unrecycled waste. Where does it go? It’s difficult to estimate how much ends up in the vast depths of our world’s oceans, but conservative estimates are about 10 million tons per year. Much of this plastic is the result of careless littering on land that is in turn blown into the sea.

As a result of all of this non-biodegradable waste, hundreds of ocean species have been adversely affected. Fish nibble on microplastics, while other marine animals are caught in soda rings and discarded fishing lines. The resulting damage from this massive amount of waste could be catastrophic for our oceans.
Together, we can make a difference.
