Our Mission

Though we strive to make the most simple and beautiful soaps possible, our deeper commitment is to the wonderful Turkish women artisans who so lovingly craft each bar.

By following our mantra of helping women have “power, choice, and change,” we support each woman in her dream to have more control over her future.

​​​​The women share in Antioche’s revenues and, on average, each is employed for six months a year.

Our vision is to hire more women and create a true collective that offers year-round employment so the women can provide for themselves, their families, and their communities.


​​​"I am so proud of what we've created together, and I can 't wait to share it with you.  "  ​​​

I fell in love with your soap a few years ago, and I always spread the word about its greatness. I’m so proud that your company helps other women villagers in your county. Keep up the good work!
