OUR STORY
Saru
SARU Bear Essentials gets the namesake from our wonderful dog, Saru. He's been with us since the beginning on our journey and is always present while we craft our products—an integral member of the team, also known as the Boss.
The Soap
A lot of thought and adjustment has gone into making a bar of our soap. With trial and error, we've made the perfect bar.
Shape: It fits in your hand beautifully, it's thick and it's chunky—meaning it will last much longer.
Scent: Perfumes and synthetic scents have caused us nausea, we wanted to make something that would not only smell good for the sake of smell, but something that makes you feel good too, so we use only pure Essential Oils.
Color: Like scent, we don't want to add colorants because we want our soap to be and feel natural. However, clays, dried flowers and root powders lend their hue to our soap, naturally coloring them.
Texture: We want the smoothest soap for the skin that creates a micro-exfoliant, which works to remove dead skin without causing damage.
The use of living ingredients, such as milk and honey creates a rich lather and allows your skin to soak in the ether. Clay removes toxins from the body and serves as a micro-exfoliant. Essential oils invoke the senses to calm, soothe and heal, while the plant materials ground and connect us with nature.
Showering is no longer a chore, but an experience that cleanses on all levels.
Meet the Makers
It all began with a dream for a more simple and nourishing lifestyle, and that meant taking a second look at the products we use in our everyday lives.
Making soap began as a hobby back in 2020 to learn how to perfect the craft of creating a product that we could be proud of. After sharing it with friends, family and selling at local fairs and boutiques, we've decided that we should make it available to everyone.
A dream to build a business together, and find a meaningful way to reach others in our community, has come true all because of soap.
We're glad you're here to join us on our adventure back to a more natural lifestyle. We hope you'll give our soap a try!
