Food-Based Body Bars : edible soap

5.3 million people in the UK are forced to choose between buying food or staying clean, prompting The Hygiene Bank and Goodwash to create The Edible Soap. This conversation-starting soap made to bring awareness to the crisis of hygienic poverty is made with real food ingredients like organic cacao butter, oat flour, avocado oil, tomato sauce, toast flavoring, bean flavoring, paprika, and Celtic sea salt—emulating a baked bean flavor. As such, chefs are creating unique dishes with the solid bar.

“The Edible Soap isn’t a product,” says The Hygiene Bank, “This isn’t a purchase. It’s a donation mechanic.” On Goodwash’s website, people can donate £15, and all of the proceeds from sales support The Hygiene Bank’s mission to get basic hygiene products into the hands of people and families in need.
