Bioregional Peppermint - Diggin' Livin'
Our Bioregional bar is made with ingredients from as far south as Tehama County, Northern California to as far north as the Willamette Valley in Oregon. It contains organic buffalo tallow from buffalo sustainably raised on organic pastures. We are principally local food producers who believe that even the soap we use be made from products that come from the farms around us.
Washing is an agricultural act. Author Wendell Berry said "Eating is an agricultural act", reminding us all that every bite we take is a form of participation in the agricultural commodity. Most soap is largely made up of fats and oils grown in other countries. However, we have fats and oils right here in our bioregion, perfect for making soap with a smaller footprint! Many scientists say 350 parts per million (ppm) is the safe upper limit for CO2 in the atmosphere. Currently, our planet has 391 ppm CO2 and is rising by 2 ppm every year. It is time to rethink washing as an agricultural act and take responsibilty to reduce our global carbon emissions by lessening the distance traveled from farm to bath.

THIS SOAP CONTAINS NO PALM OIL. Palm oil plantation in Sumatra and Borneo are devastating the last remaining habitat of the Orangutan. Malaysia and Indonesia account for 83% of the world?s palm oil production. 98% of the palm oil imported into the U.S. comes from plantations, formerly rainforests, in Malaysia and Indonesia.
