Sustainability
At Mt Lucy Handmade, we understand the importance of incorporating sustainable practices into our soap-making process, ensuring a better future for our planet.
Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it is a crucial aspect of responsible business practices. By prioritizing sustainability, we aim to minimize our environmental impact and contribute to the well-being of our customers and the planet.
Here are some of the ways we're making a difference:
Soaps are packaged in paper with paper labels
------------------------------
Salt scrubs are packaged in wheat straw plastic jars with labels made from wood-based Bioplastic and compostable adhesive

------------------------------
Poplar and alder used to make our soap dishes is sourced in the US
"...crafted from wood scraps that are retrieved by the pallet from one of the largest lumber suppliers and mill in the Portland area."
------------------------------
Palm oil used in our French Milled soaps comes from a supplier who is part of the Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil
"When grown sustainably, palm oil is a force for good. It helps protect the environment, communities, employees and wildlife. But when it’s grown unsustainably, palm oil production can be destructive and damaging."
