Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good



“Did you know that, according to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, more than 5,000 children die every day from diseases that could have been prevented simply by washing their hands? That's a horrifying statistic that Jack's Soap founder Bridget Hilton could not live with.
So she took action and--over a period of just three months--created and launched a for-profit company that, for every bar of soap sold, donates one to a child in need. These luxurious soaps are made with organic ingredients, use recycled packaging materials, and are vegan and cruelty free--making them both PETA and USDA approved.”

Partnering up with the global organization called Children of the Nations. Jacks soap works with them to make sure their soap is going to the areas that need it the most. Also, instead of sending an exact replica of the soap the public purchases, Jack's works in conjunction with local soap makers, to not only help the local economy, but also reduce the carbon footprint by giving away locally made soap. Through these organizations and local soap makers, they spread awareness of the importance of washing hands, starting with children. They also make sure the soap is personally delivered from Jack's staff or their charity partners with materials explaining the need for soap, so a potential purchaser can be assured that every time they purchase Jack's, they are actually making a difference in a child's life.
Jack's Soap is made from high quality natural ingredients expertly blended to create delightfully aromatic scents. They also pursued Organic Certification for all of their soaps. Organic Certification is one way that Jack's show's their commitment to natural, locally sourced ingredients. Most importantly, it means they use only the purest ingredients, ones grown and produced sustainably and in accordance with USDA Organic standards.

Jack's Soap is certified made in the USA and is based in Los Angeles, CA. Our packaging is made from recycled materials. 

“To ensure the perpetuation of good hygienic practices, Jack's doesn't just donate the soaps but also educates the recipients about the importance of good hygiene. Who would have thought washing your hands could be so rewarding?”
