Natural handmade soaps made from the highest quality ingredients that benefit your skin the most. All our soaps are free from chemicals and made in small batches to ensure better quality and freshness. We try to keep our products as natural as possible and use preservatives only when needed. In a world full of synthetic and petroleum-based body products, our goal is to help you adopt a more natural and clean approach to skincare.
Our soaps are handmade with natural high quality ingredients in small batches and are full of skin-loving properties. Here is why you should ditch store-bought soap and make the switch to using a MIGHTY SOAP!
1. OUR SOAPS MOISTURIZE NATURALLY
A natural byproduct of the soap making process is glycerin. Glycerin is a skin moisturizer, emollient (skin softener) and a humectant (draws moisture to it). Our handmade soaps contain glycerin which hydrates the skin while bathing.
Commercially-produced soaps are commonly processed to extract the glycerin. The removed glycerin is then used in other higher profit margin products such as lotions and creams. Soap without glycerin is harsh and drying; using it can lead to chronically dry and itchy skin.
Our handmade soaps retain their natural glycerin, therefore providing a key ingredient needed to prevent dry skin. As an added bonus, most of our handmade soaps contain natural moisturizers such as shea butter, goat's milk, and almond oil.
2. OUR SOAPS CONTAINS BETTER INGREDIENTS
Whatever goes on our skin goes into your body. In fact, our skin absorbs anywhere from about 21 – 100% of what we put on it. Soap manufactured for mass distribution contains synthetic ingredients that are cheap to fabricate in a lab.
Unfortunately, these artificial ingredients are often not good for our skin or our body. Many of these toxic materials have known side effects such as dermatitis and eczema.
Our soaps are made using natural ingredients such as coconut oil, olive oil, goat's milk, and shea butter which are gentle and nourishing to the skin.
Also, soap manufactured for mass distribution usually contain fragrance oils instead of natural essential oils.
Fragrance oils are artificial scents that are used in many products from soap to body washes, candles, lotions, perfumes, laundry detergent and dryer sheets. While the FDA allows manufacturers to list only "fragrance" as an ingredient, each fragrance can contain thousands of chemicals, some of which are the most toxic in the skincare industry.
We on the other hand only use essential oils that are 100% pure oils extracted from plant material or natural additives such as lemon zest and honey in our soaps. These essential oils and natural additives have known positive psychological effects and skin benefits.
3. EVERY MIGHTY SOAP IS UNIQUE
Store-bought soaps are mass-produced in factories and every single bar is identical.
Slight variances such as temperature, humidity, the flick of the artisan’s wrist, or one of us deciding to add an extra squeeze of honey on a whim guarantees that each Mighty Soap is unique.
We care deeply about making sure that each bar of soap we sell to you is just right for your skin. We are continuously researching natural ingredients with skin benefits and coming up with soap varieties that cater to different skin types and fragrance preferences.
YOU are UNIQUE and deserve a bar of soap made just for YOU!
I used the Shea Butter with Lavender Soap, I really liked it ! It makes my skin feel soft and moisturized. The texture of the soap feels great on my skin and does not leave behind a strong perfume which I like. The soap does not dry my skin at all like the regular soaps do. I am looking forward to using it everyday.
Mighty Soap was founded by Yuvaan Maiti in 2019 when he was a 4th grader living in San Francisco. Yuvaan wanted to start a business and the only reason he picked homemade soaps was because they could be made pretty easily at home. As Yuvaan started making soap at home and using some of his own product, he noticed how much healthier it made his eczema prone skin. This made Yuvaan even more passionate about his business and over the course of two years, he perfected the blend of natural ingredients that create soaps with nourishing benefits for different skin types.
When Yuvaan's family moved to Orinda in 2021, Mighty Soap had a small but stable base of mostly SF based customers who loved these soaps and bought them regularly. In Orinda, Yuvaan met Kodi Aengus and Kai Izzi at his new school. The boys became good friends and decided to work together to grow the business. They hope to be able to donate a significant portion of their proceeds to LavaMaeˣ, a non-profit dedicated to promoting the well-being of people experiencing homelessness by bringing mobile showers and other services to them.
