FAQs for you . . .
Why Water Bottles?
Water bottles are the perfect size for guest soaps and they have unique shapes, sizes, and
impressions. Not all water bottles are the same so you get a different look depending on the brand
of water bottle used. Besides, anyone can make rose shaped soaps or heart shaped soaps (we
know… we make em’, too!) but a truly creative mind can take an ordinary object and turn it into
something special . . . like oh . . . guest soap.
The Backwash Effect:
Now, we know there are a few of you out there wondering . . . guest soap made from used
water bottles, what about backwash? NO FEAR! We sterilize all the water bottles before we pour
the soap into them. So there is no backwash effect to worry about.
Spare Parts:
Sounds like something from a Mary Shelley novel. What do we do with the rest of the bottles and
the plastic pieces we don’t use? Recycle . . . what else? After creating each batch of Water Bottle
Soap we take them to the recycling plant for processing so that they can become other plastic
goods. Think of it this way… that bottle of water on your desk, we can take that same bottle that
held your drink, work our magic on it to create a signature Water Bottle Soap and then send it to
the recycling plant with all its other friends, where it is turned back into the raw materials that are
used to make other non-food quality plastic products. Recycle, reduce and reuse!
Basics of Bases:
Our soaps are made from the highest quality ingredients. We have a wide variety of soap bases
to choose from: Shea Butter, White Glycerin, Olive Oil, and Clear Glycerin. Our soap bases
contain no animal byproducts, so they meet vegan standards and are Kosher. Click here to view

The Anti Bacteria of it all:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), antibacterial soaps are not
necessary, but washing your hands thoroughly with ordinary soap and warm water is one of the
most effective ways to ward off infection.

In the first known comprehensive analysis of whether antibacterial soaps work better than plain
soaps, Allison Aiello of the University of Miami School of Public Health and her team found that
washing hands with an antibacterial soap was no more effective in preventing infectious illness
than plain soap. Moreover, antibacterial soaps at formulations sold to the public do not remove
any more bacteria from the hands during washing than plain soaps.

Reduce, recycle and reuse. . . GO GREEN!
Being eco-friendly is part of our slogan, but are we blowing hot air?
No, honestly our company is currently 50% green. By using water bottles we save them from
becoming excess waste in our landfills. We make sure that the water bottles that we collect,
whether they are used as soap molds or not, are sent off to proper recycling facilities. We are
in constant search of "greener" solutions to wrap and package our soap while keeping with our
design concept. We take great care in making sure that in the process of making our soaps,
packaging and shipping, we reduce waste, recycle where possible and reuse whenever necessary.
