 Generally, they are so obsessed with detergents and this and that, that they won't use a pure Castile soap, partly because the cost of materials is quite high to make a really good Castile soap. For them, it's the cost of goods; it just doesn't work in their business model. In a way, they can't really offer it.
Mike: Because they're getting so much to go through the channel and so much to market.
Bronner: We're in a fortunate position. We put in 2 percent peppermint oil. No one spends that kind of money for that level of peppermint oil and 40 percent soap. |

Swimming Pools
(and Chlorine-Free Filtration)
If you have a chlorinated pool, convert it to chlorine free. The ECOsmarte® system uses copper ions and ozone to purify the water. Plus, oxygen naturally detoxifies the body and is also absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body. |

 First, let's start with the soap berries project: We have received requests for more than 3,000 kilos of soap berries from NewsTarget readers (this is the natural laundry detergent replacement that grows on trees). Right now, we're asking 3 different companies to quote us their best price for delivering those 3,000 kilos to our fulfillment center near Phoenix, Arizona. Once we have the final quotation numbers, we will select the best deal and get things moving. |

 What's this little black marble I found in my box of soap Nuts?
Lucky you! That little black marble is a seed. You can plant your own Soapberry tree! |
| You'll know the saponin in Maggie's soap Nuts is used up when the nuts no longer feel squeaky clean and sudsy when you rub them. If they're re-useable, let the shells dry out and use them again later. When the shells are ready to retire, add them to your garden compost.
Why is the plastic bag and silica gel desiccant necessary?
We import Maggie's soap Nuts from humid climates. Without a plastic bag the nuts absorb moisture from the very wet air and get black and sticky as they release their saponin. We pack a desiccant inside each bag to help absorb any moisture that gets trapped inside. |

 Antibacterial soap
How about a little nerve toxin in your soap? That's what's found in antibacterial soap. It's a toxic cocktail of chemicals designed to kill life. That's how it kills bacteria. The problem is that it also harms people -- especially infants and children who are trying to develop healthy nervous systems. Avoid all products claiming to be "antibacterial." You're better off using natural soap (like Dr. Bronner's soap, www.DrBronner.com ) and letting your child's immune system fight off common bacteria. The world isn't sterile, after all. |

 I believe these soap nuts are a product whose time has come. As more and more consumers turn to Mother Nature for answers, they will stop purchasing toxic chemicals and, instead, find solutions provided by nature. soap Nuts are precisely such a solution: They're easy to use, sustainably harvested without pesticides, packaged without using a cardboard box, safe for the environment and very good at washing clothes. |

 One kilogram of soap berries can clean from 100 - 150 loads of laundry. If we take the middle ground on this and assume it can clean 125 loads of laundry, the cost comes to 24 cents per load of laundry. That's actually LESS than many of the name-brand chemical laundry detergents. So this is a price point that should make sense to everyone: Not only do you pay no more for this natural detergent, but you also save the environment from toxic chemicals, reduce the poisoning of your own family from laundry chemicals and reduce the use of wasteful packaging. |
| Once we acquire the best price, we will front the money to buy this shipment of soap berries and have it brought to our fulfillment center near Phoenix, Arizona (or, shipped to other continents depending on demand, see below...). From there, we will offer the product through www.BetterLifeGoods.com at the best price we can manage. (We will need to have some markup in order to cover the up-front cash requirements, shipping, customs clearance, fulfillment costs, storage costs and other logistics overhead, but the bottom line savings to everyone will be tremendous.)
The bottom line? |
| NOTE: Your email to us is not a legally-binding reservation of soap berries. If you actually want to reserve a large amount up front and guarantee availability, you'll need to call us and arrange for a down payment. (Call 520-232-9300.) What we're trying to do here is get an estimate of the total reader demand for this product so we can order enough to go around. But because this is all just an estimate, we could end up with too much or too little product. We'll keep you posted on the outcome of this co-op purchasing action and let you know what steps we're taking to acquire the product. |
| We'll buy the soap berries up front and import them, then make them available for fulfillment from the U.S. (or other countries, too, depending on demand).
We'll pass the cost savings through to NewsTarget readers, and we'll all get the best pricing possible on this environmentally-friendly natural cleaning product. (We estimate the final cost to consumers will be $30 per kilo, which is less than half the current retail pricing on such products.) The actual final cost may vary from this, however. We won't know until we do the deal. |
| No obligation. It's just an estimate.) Please include:
1) How many KILOs of soap berries would you be interested in purchasing.
2) Your first and last name.
3) The city, state and country in which you live.
The reason we want to know your country is that if there's enough demand in Australia, for example, we may arrange for a separate shipment to Australia that can be distributed locally at very low cost. Also, if you are interested in being a local distributor for this product outside North America, please indicate that in your email. |

| For the past two months, I've been washing all my own clothes with this simple, natural laundry soap that's been used in India for centuries, and I've never felt happier (or more environmentally conscious) about my laundry.
Here's the story about the natural laundry detergent that literally grows on trees. I'll reveal what it is, how it works, and how you can get some right now at www.BetterLifeGoods. |

| When the clothes are rinsed, the soap nut saponins are washed downstream where they remain harmless to the environment. No synthetic chemicals, no fragrance chemicals, no foaming agents or other toxins. Just nut shells grown by nature. (See the resources section at the end of this article to learn where you can buy these nuts in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland and elsewhere... |
| The price of using these soap nuts in your laundry is well under fifty cents a load (U.S.), making it quite comparable to other eco-friendly laundry products. It's not as cheap as dumping foaming chemicals into your laundry, but then again, if you're the kind of person reading this website, you're probably far more concerned about saving your health than saving a quarter on a load of toxic laundry. Isn't it good to know that you can protect your health and protect the planet as the same time?
Washing your clothes doesn't have to be bad for the environment. |

| No one spends that kind of money for that level of peppermint oil and 40 percent soap. Most soaps are around 15 percent concentrated. [Our soup] is very rare and they haven't produced anything that even comes close to it.
Mike: The only thing I've seen is a product at Trader Joe's.
Bronner: Yes, and that is some tallow oil; it's some inferior kind of cheap oil that they're using.
Mike: I just noticed it recently, in fact. I hadn't seen it before now.
Bronner: See, it may come to us private label, and we just don't private label.
Mike: I see.
Bronner: We use our own brand formula. |

| What Maggie's soap Nuts do NOT contain include:
Foaming chemicals that fool consumers into thinking their clothes are cleaner because there are "suds" in the wash. TRUTH: Suds have nothing to do with cleaning. They are chemical additives used to create the illusion of cleaning action. (Silly consumers actually expect suds, so the manufacturers add them in.)
Fragrance chemicals that make laundry "smell" clean. Most commercial laundry products use toxic, synthetic fragrance chemicals that are, in fact, well known to promote cancer and liver disorders. |

| Wash your clothes in soap nuts instead of manufactured laundry detergent and you'll protect life down stream instead of destroying it.
By the way, even as we are offering this natural laundry product, I simultaneously support companies like Seventh Generation who have a full line of eco-friendly cleaning products. Please shop for eco-friendly cleaning products every chance you get. Laundry is just one category: There are many others. Be mindful of everything you use on your skin, in your home and around your property. Everything you buy eventually ends up in the environment. |

 According to the National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides (NCAMP), "Manufacturers of a number of triclosan-containing toothpaste and soap products claim that the active ingredient continues to work for as long as 12 hours after use. Thus, consumers are exposed to triclosan for much longer than the 20 seconds it takes to wash their hands or brush their teeth."
"These products produce low levels of chloroform, but that adds up over time. The amount of gas formed is very low but I think the key thing is that we just don't know what the effects are. |

The health threat of synthetic chemicals
Laundry detergent chemicals are not actually regulated by the FDA, and virtually none of the chemicals currently used in commercial laundry products have been safety tested for long-term use by consumers. |
| As more and more consumers turn to Mother Nature for answers, they will stop purchasing toxic chemicals and, instead, find solutions provided by nature. soap Nuts are precisely such a solution: They're easy to use, sustainably harvested without pesticides, packaged without using a cardboard box, safe for the environment and very good at washing clothes. |
| Today, only "poor" families in Asia continue to use soap nuts to wash their clothes. "Rich" families used processed, packaged and heavily marketed chemical detergent products in much the same way that they now increasingly eat processed foods.
A cooperative purchase for NewsTarget readers
Here at NewsTarget, we believe that Mother Nature creates better products than chemical factories. Due to a very high level of interest in natural laundry detergent by our readers, we sought to acquire a large quantity of this product at a volume price, packaged in an environmentally-friendly way. |
| We make no health claims whatsoever about the use of soap nuts, other than to state what is NOT in it: No synthetic chemicals, pesticides or additives of any kind. Inventory is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Product satisfaction is guaranteed. |

2) Your first and last name.
3) The city, state and country in which you live.
The estimated price to you (see below) will be around $30 per kilo, which is less than half the current retail price of similar products. The final price may actually be lower, but we won't know until we approach the producers and calculate the total costs.
You do not have to actually commit to buying what you want to reserve, nor do you have to place an order right now. |

| Mike: So some of these products are 90 percent or even 95 percent of the same old process -- chemical ingredients with a little bit of organic water -- and then they call it organic shampoo or organic soap.
Bronner: Yes. The word "nature" or "organic" appears huge on the label. With a truly organic personal hair product, there's no distinction on the label to a consumer. The consumer doesn't know. It's just ruining the organic labeling program for personal care. |
