Many other soapmakers have no choice but to just buy their coconut oil and botanicals from local wholesalers - not nearly as exotic! 
We provide valuable employment, particularly for women, where it is most needed - in the heart of the poorest district in Tanzania.
Our virgin coconut oil is freshly produced for us in the local villages and personally collected by our employees who check it for colour, smell and clarity.
We use as many local, natural ingredients as possible, both in the soap and packaging. All of the tropical botanicals are freshly cropped on the island - some even from our garden, pictured here.

What makes us different? We're the REAL THING.

We are in a fairly unique position amongst handmade soapmakers, in that we actually live and make our soap right here on the island, surrounded by the ingredients of our trade.
