Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate

This is a plant derived gentle cleanser used in most personal care products.

Erythritol

This ingredient is found naturally in some food. It’s also made when things like wine, beer and cheese ferment – the good stuff.

Sodium Dehydroacetate

This is a nature identical salt preservative ingredient and approved for use in natural cosmetics.

Sodium Citrate

This is just the salt from citric acid - which is naturally found in lemons and oranges. Also found in edible food such as yogurt, cheese and wine

Sodium Benzoate

This is the pillar that keeps our powder concentrate foaming soap fresh over a long period of time. Ours is derived from plants

Sodium Phytate

This is also just another form of salt. Ours is derived from corn. Yes! The sweet kind

Citric Acid

A safe acid found in citrus plants such as lemons and oranges and has a natural cleansing ability. Tough on the bad stuff but gentle on your skin

Glyceryl Caprylate

A coconut derived preservative booster so you can safely use your hand wash for longer 

Hydrated Silica

This beauty is also found in most toothpastes

Cocoyl Proline

We love Coconut. We took coconut goodness and created a high performing hand wash powder that you love. This is the ingredient that further improves the effectiveness of our waste free hand wash

Water

Just a tiny bit so we can keep our products waste-free and super concentrated

Lavender Flower Essential Oil

This is what makes our hand wash foaming soap smell so good. Just the right amount to give you that gentle and pleasant whiff of essential oil scent.

Or

Mandarin Rind Essential Oil

This is what makes our hand wash foaming soap smell like fresh Oranges and add additional cleanse to your hands.

Powder Concentrate

If you live in a developed world, like Australia, then warm tap water is okay, if you live in a place with no clean tap water then distilled or filtered water is recommended. 

The thought of doing that makes us sad :( The only animals we use for testing are our own bodies. Friends usually test it next. If they like it and ask for more, we keep it.

Yes, all our formulations are natural and plant derived or made from natural identicals. 

No, we wouldn't even consider it.

Totally! Baresop takes transparency very seriously and believes it’s important to inform people on what they are putting on their skin. No secrets here...we are as proud of our recycled bottles as we are of the goodness inside. 

Yes, all our products are Vegan friendly.

Our products are made of natural ingredients, but not all of them are certified organic. Organic certification can be very useful when it comes to unprocessed food to ensure it is free of pesticides and not genetically modified. We have chosen to focus on natural, edible ingredients based on how much they help the skin rather than whether or not they get the tick of approval by organic certifying bodies. Natural is almost always best in our opinion.

Yes, our powder concentrates are free from GMOs and GEs, making them suitable for those who prefer to use GMO free skin care products in their routine.

Yes, all our powder concentrates are gluten-free, making them suitable for those looking for gluten-free body wash options.

No, that would be uncool. We use Australian botanical natural oils. 

Yes! We formulated our products with a commitment to create a biodegradable and environmentally friendly solution. 

Yes! All our entire products and packaging are locally sourced and made apart from our recycled ocean waste foaming pumps that we source from a Danish company who manufactures them in China - and that’s because we could not find any supplier for recycled foaming pumps in Australia. Let us know if you know of any one who could supply this locally.

Everybody is different and what works for some will not for others. Some people have allergies to natural ingredients. As with all natural products, we do suggest you do a patch test first to ensure no reactions.

Apply a pea-sized amount of product as close as possible to the most affected area and leave for 24 hours. If any sort of irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. If you do not experience any irritation you may go ahead and use as directed.

Packaging

Yes, all our sachets are certified home compostable. Please don’t throw them in the bin. Throw them out with your food scraps. Or put them inside the dirt in your indoor plant, they will turn to plant soil. That’s what most of our customers do :) (as below)

One of our core business values is to minimize environmental impact and promoting sustainability, that's why we use eco-friendly skincare packaging made from recycled materials and aim to create less waste. When you receive a starter kit with the recycled shipping box, you can reuse it for storage around your house or send it back to reuse again - postage free.

All our sachets are certified home compostable!. Please don’t throw them in the bin. Throw away your sachet with them out with your food scraps. Or put them inside the dirt in your indoor plant., they will turn to plant soil. That’s what most of our customers do :)

We get you. Our choice to use recycled refillable plastic bottles for our sustainable skin care packaging can be confusing. Here is why. When we did our market research, we found out that glass bottles pose a risk for those with young kids. And secondly, in Australia, the Glass Recycling industry is non-existent. Let us know if you know of any recycled glass supplier in Australia and we commit to explore it, as an option for those without young kids at home.

Absolutely not. Micro-plastics are usually made from polyethylene, nylon, and polypropylene, we do not use any of these ingredients. As part of our commitment to sustainable skin care packaging, we make sure to avoid the use of microplastics in our products and packaging.
