Meliora Bath & Body Soap Bar, Unscented
Meliora Cleaning Products
Bath & Body Soap Bar, Unscented
A very clean choice for anyone who wants an unscented bar with nothing extra in it. The bar and its box are plastic-free, and the unboxed version removes packaging entirely. In Meliora's own words, plastic may still be used upstream because raw materials can arrive at the factory in plastic.
An unscented body bar made from organic coconut and sunflower oils in a paperboard box, or with no box at all. MADE SAFE certified, Leaping Bunny certified, and made by a B Corp in Chicago.

About Meliora Cleaning Products
Meliora started in Chicago in 2013, after Kate Jakubas, then studying environmental engineering, could not find out what was in her own laundry detergent. She and Mike built the company around printing every ingredient on the label, and they still make everything themselves in their factory on the West Side of Chicago. Along with laundry powder and dish soap, they make this simple bath and body bar. Meliora is a woman-owned B Corp, which means an outside group has scored its social and environmental practices. Its bar ingredients are MADE SAFE certified, a program that screens products against a long list of harmful chemicals, and the company is Leaping Bunny certified, which confirms no animal testing. Meliora is candid that plastic can still show up upstream, since raw materials may arrive at its factory in plastic.
