Why Did We Make this Soap?
“Everyone has to take pills every day once they reach a certain age. You are just starting a little early.”
My doctor told me this at 25 years old.
And the craziest part?
Millions of people experience the same thing.
If we want true health, we have to seize it for ourselves.
Hearing that felt like a death sentence.
Around 2021, my health took a nosedive. After years of eating a modern diet - heavily processed foods, I developed a Gluten Allergy that has almost taken my life a few times.
That combined with Lyme disease brought on autoimmune issues – it was one thing after another. I was living in doctor’s offices and it felt like a game of whack-a-mole.
The tipping point came when I was on vacation in Virginia Beach and after a night of margaritas, I woke up one morning and couldn’t swallow. My throat was closing up.
I thought I had a very bad disease, and it was over for me.
The doc diagnosed me with "GERD" and said I had to take life-altering stomach pills for the rest of my life...
I refused to accept this at 25. I had to find another way.
Desperate, I found a YouTube video from an old man with 4 subscribers claiming apple cider vinegar cured his GERD.
It sounded crazy, but I tried it.
Three days later, I was healed. I couldn't believe it.
I was relieved but I was also angry. Why wasn’t this common knowledge?
How many other simple cures were out there that people didn’t know about?
That moment ignited my deep dive into holistic health, immediately ditching toxic substances like polyester clothes, plastic utensils, non-stick pans, seed oils, EMFs. So it goes.
Explaining to my neighbors that I’m barefoot on purpose, and its called “grounding.”
My life and health transformed within a year, but after this matrix-like reveal of knowledge, I couldn’t just accept things as they were. I felt a responsibility to bring awareness to this.
One day, I stumbled upon another YouTube channel (@FlavCity) this time about harmful chemicals in personal care products.
Sulfates, parabens, phthalates - all toxic ingredients that were in the soap and shampoo I’d used daily for 20 years.
These chemicals get into your bloodstream, mimic estrogen, screw up your fertility and reproductive health, and can even cause cancer. Nobody talks about it.
Why wasn’t anyone talking about this?
I tried “natural” soap from Etsy and Amazon, but one by one realized they were all scams too – filled with palm (seed) oil and parfum. I eventually stopped wanting to use soap altogether.
Using soap made me feel dirtier. How backwards was that?
One day in the shower, defeatedly using soap, I imagined a product that wasn’t killing me slowly.
“what if there was soap that only used ingredients that were good for your skin?”
