Oregon Soap Company

The Oregon Soap Company was the most expensive of the 4 soapers' booths I checked out at the Portland Saturday Market. Prices for a 3.75 oz bar of their certified organic soap START at $7. Ouch!

I checked out their website, though, and was pleased to read about their commitment to fighting climate change through sustainable business practices. Their pledge to plant one tree for every 10 bars of soap they sell means they do much better than just offsetting their carbon emissions - they do it several times over.

And their soap? Pricey, yes, but a great treat to use in the shower. I bought a bar of the Forest soap (pictured above), which has a very mild yet consistent lather and gently exfoliates with oatmeal and bran. This particular bar has a great unisex scent, which makes it a great treat for your favorite (male or female) tree hugger.
