Intentionally inhaling the aroma of our soaps, activates certain areas of the brain to provide therapeutic relief. 

To win your trust, we provide full ingredient transparency. Here's what you need to know:

Ingredient Integrity and Transparency

At Makes 3 Organics®, in addition to ingredient integrity, we are committed to ingredient transparency.  Because of our personal health challenges, we became aware that reducing our exposure to synthetic chemicals was essential to our well-being - and to yours.  So we believe you deserve to know and understand every ingredient you are putting on your skin when you use our products.

Reducing Our Chemical Body Burden

It's all about the Chemical Body Burden.  The average person now has over 250 synthetic chemicals in their body that were not present just 40-50 years ago.  Some of these chemicals are indeed benign.  But some are neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, allergens and irritants.  

Natural Does Not Mean Perfect

Our Organic Products are made with truly natural and organic ingredients and are handcrafted.  You may see slight variations from batch to batch. Made without synthetic or chemical emulsifiers, binders, or preservatives, your product may experience a smidge of separation or "graininess" in the oils due to fluctuations in storage temperature. This "graininess" is actually the awesome moisturizing fats within the Organic Coconut Oil that have melting points above 80 degrees. These fats contribute to the anti-bacterial and anti-aging properties of Organic Coconut Oil and will melt in your hand when applied. Don’t worry, this is normal. 

Advocating for Legislative Change

What's more, these chemicals are overwhelmingly unregulated and untested in connection with the interaction with the human body and human health.  Of the more than 11,000 synthetic chemicals that are present in United States industry, we have only banned or partially banned 30 for use in personal care, cosmetics and cleaning products.

That's why we are involved in legislative initiatives to regulate chemical use in our industry.  We helped pass the California Cleaning Product Right to Know Act and are contributors to the effort currently under way to pass the federal Personal Care Products Safety Act.

Familiarity is the Key

It would be meaningless for us to put a number on the chemicals that we ban from our products, because the total number of ingredients across all of our product categories and in all of our products combined, numbers under 100.  All but a handful are 100% certified organic and plant-based ingredients. You can recognize and pronounce the names of all of our ingredients and rely on Our Promises about them.  They are familiar to you and most of them you could grow in your own garden.

We aim to live in harmony with the Earth and her bounty and to benefit from the wisdom that the environment provides to us for our health and well-being.

So, to provide you with total transparency and understanding of each and every ingredient we use in our products, we have undertaken the task of providing you with this library.  Not only do we list each of our ingredients, but we also provide you with the best knowledge we have with respect to its natural applications, uses and benefits.

For browsing convenience, we list each ingredient here and provide a link to individual pages that will provide all of the details you are looking for.
