Our Story
Oleic Soap Co. is dedicated to providing plastic-free alternatives to everyday consumables that help minimize the impact of plastic waste on the environment.
We believe that small changes can make a big difference, and we hope to inspire others to join us on our mission. Our goal is to create a world where plastic pollution is no longer a threat, and we're committed to doing our part to make that vision a reality.
My name is Morgane! I am a chemist in the pharmaceutical quality control industry and I am face-to-face with the epidemic of single use plastic on the daily. Although I love my job, I am acutely aware of the fact there are many areas of life where eco-friendly alternatives are a long way from becoming industry standard or simply not possible at all.
The personal care and beauty industry has not only been an equally prominent imposer on the plastic epidemic, but have you taken a second to look at the ingredient list on any commercial soap bottle? Between the long list of impossible-to-read chemicals that are being washed down our drains to the plastic packaging you know isn’t getting recycled, we feel we can’t escape.
Lucky for us, things are finally changing!!
Now more than ever, the trend toward all-natural skincare and plastic-free options is on the up and up.
The earth provides us with a plethora of beautiful ingredients that have long been used and studied for their therapeutic effects. They are gentler on the skin and help to support sustainable farming practices. You can now make informed decisions based on your own personal skin needs all while having the peace of mind your decisions have helped reduce environmental impact.
Our Ingredients
From production to packaging, we intentionally explore low-impact, plant based materials.
We strive to use ingredients supported by ECOCERT, a global organic certification organization that verifies and promotes sustainable farming and production practices.
I personally drive to pick up the raw materials myself as most of our suppliers are only a short 15 minute drive from my workplace. This removes the need to ship heavy jugs of oils and butters across town and greatly reduces the chances of raw materials arriving in broken containers.
Our Packaging
Our packaging is 100% post-consumable and/or biodegradable and recyclable materials. We use non-toxic inks too so all packaging can simply be thrown in your compost or recycling bin when finished.
All our labels and boxes are sourced from Ontario or Canadian-based businesses which reduces the need to ship items across the world needlessly and promotes the support of our economy.
