Enjoy a Fresh, Hydrating Clean with Effective Formulas Featuring Organic Botanicals

They say what goes on your body goes in your body. By choosing botanical-based body care, you can avoid toxic chemicals hidden in many popular soaps and personal care products marketed as “organic” and help protect your skin, your body and the earth from potential harm.

Ola Botanicals^® redefines and elevates standards for effective natural body care with formulas that feature organically grown plant-based ingredients to provide gentle, reliable care to keep your skin clean, hydrated and healthy, naturally.
Free of harmful ingredients, including dyes, fragrances and parabens, Ola Botanicals^® formulas are also gluten free, soy free, GMO free and certified cruelty free through the industry-leading Leaping Bunny program.
Featuring organically grown plant oils and butters from around the world, blended using time-honored production methods, Ola Botanicals^® body care harnesses the power of nature to promote clarity, elasticity and glowing, healthy skin.

Our mission with Ola Botanicals^® is to bring you organic ingredients from nature whenever possible that are as kind to our planet as they are to your skin.

We gather some of the most celebrated botanicals from around the world and blend them together to make silky soaps without harmful chemicals – with botanically scented body washes coming soon.

You’ll never find strange ingredient names you can’t pronounce on our labels – well, except maybe the scientific names of the plants we use – because Ola Botanicals^® ingredients come directly from plants.

And we use organically grown ingredients whenever possible to maximize the nutrients available to your skin, supporting clarity, hydration and elasticity.

Sometimes, manufacturers of body care products start with plant-based ingredients but then run them through intense processing until their chemical make-up is seriously altered, turning out final products that are contaminated with potential toxins.

We never do this to our ingredients. The olive oil in your soap is just as natural as the olive oil in your kitchen cupboard.

And the same goes for every other ingredient.

By bringing you plant-derived bath and shower products, with no highly processed or harmful ingredients, Ola Botanicals^® gives you organic choices whenever possible you can feel good about. For yourself and for the planet.

Why Natural and Organic Ingredients?

Just as you choose natural and organic foods to avoid toxins and potentially harmful chemicals, you do the same thing for your skin when you choose natural and organic skincare.

Your skin is not only your largest organ but also your thinnest. It easily absorbs whatever you apply to it. Ingredients in skincare products, healthy or harmful, flow right through your skin into your bloodstream and organs, where they can eventually accumulate.

Just as with food, plant-based ingredients used in body care can be contaminated with residues of pesticides and herbicides. But even more concerning than that, “natural” bath and shower products can be loaded with harmful chemicals.

A truly natural body care product is made exclusively from the minimally processed organic material in plants. The two exceptions to this rule are sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, salts used in traditional soap-making to trigger a chemical reaction with botanical oils, producing the lovely, lathering final product.

Whenever possible, look for products in which most of the botanical ingredients have been grown organically.

The 'Dirty Dozen' Skincare Ingredients to Avoid

Did you know that one in eight of the more than 82,000 ingredients used in personal care products are industrial chemicals, including carcinogens, pesticides, hormone disruptors and reproductive toxins?

It's not always easy to tell what's in a product. Some ingredients – especially non-active ingredients – may go unlisted on a product's label.

If an ingredient is a “trade secret” – a component of fragrance or nanomaterials, materials too small to be seen with the naked eye – it doesn't need to be listed on the product label.

Here are some of the many potentially harmful ingredients being used in today's skincare products:

Propylene glycol

A popular ingredient in personal care products used to enhance skin absorption. Carries allergy, immunotoxicity and organ system toxicity concerns.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

A petrochemical often used as a humectant in cream bases, it can be irritating to the skin. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) rates it “high” for potential contamination and “moderate” for organ toxicity concerns.
Parabens

A family of preservatives, these petrochemical endocrine disruptors mimic the action of estrogen and can drive tumor growth. They have been found in samples of breast cancer tissue. They also have the potential to irritate sensitive skin.
Phthalates

These endocrine disrupting petrochemicals have the potential to harm not only healthy hormonal balance, but also the environment. They can be hidden in products under the name “fragrance.”
1,4-Dioxane

Identified by the EPA as a “probable carcinogen,” this toxic byproduct is a common contaminant in a wide range of body care products, including all those ending in “eth.” Dioxane is also linked to skin and eye irritation, organ toxicity, endocrine disruption and reproductive and developmental toxicity.
Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES)

Although SLS originates from coconuts, the manufacturing process results in contamination with dioxane.
Petrolatum

Used as a barrier to lock in skin moisture, this petroleum-derived ingredient holds high concerns for both contamination and organ system toxicity. The European Union (EU) classifies petrolatum as a carcinogen and restricts its use, but it is widely used in American products.
Imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea and DMDM hydantoin

These antimicrobial preservatives release formaldehyde – a known carcinogen and central nervous system irritant – as they break down over time.
Synthetic fragrance or “parfum”

A collection of potentially hundreds of different chemicals - both untested and unlisted - including carcinogenic phthalates, which accumulate in human tissue.
Retinyl Palmitate

A skin-conditioning agent that may cause biochemical or cellular-level changes and developmental and reproductive toxicity. When applied in the presence of sunlight, it may speed up the development of skin tumors and lesions.
BHT

This preservative is linked to cancer and can cause allergies, endocrine disruption, reproductive and organ system toxicity, and irritation of the skin, eyes and lungs.
Salicylic Acid

Deeply penetrating, this chemical enhances skin absorption and can irritate skin, eyes and lungs.

We believe that what goes on your skin shouldn't expose you to health risks. We also believe it shouldn't harm the earth.

Instead of using potentially harmful ingredients like these, Ola Botanicals^® Body Care uses only plant-based ingredients – most of them organic – to nourish and support healthy, youthful skin.

Ola Botanicals^® Soaps and Body Washes – Kind to Your Skin, Kind to Our Planet

There's no personal care product you use more than soap. It comes in contact with every part of your skin almost every day and with your hands many times per day.

With such frequent use, you need soap that does its job without stripping your skin of natural, healthy moisturizing oils – and without exposing you to potentially harmful chemicals.

Unfortunately, too many popular soap products contain harsh synthetic petrochemicals that dry your skin and expose you to potential health risks.

The most common offenders in soaps are:

Parabens
Phthalates
SLS
1,4-Dioxane
PEG
Imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea and DMDM hydantoin
Synthetic fragrance
Triclosan

This last one, triclosan, is commonly used in “antibacterial” liquid hand soaps and poses a unique potential health threat…

When triclosan mixes with chlorine in your tap water, it forms chloroform, a “probable human carcinogen,” according to the EPA.

When combined with other disinfection byproducts in your tap water, chloroform can raise the concentration of dangerous, carcinogenic trihalomethanes above the EPA's maximum allowable amount.

Quite a toxic cocktail.

But there's no reason you should have to sacrifice your health to be clean and comfortable. Ola Botanicals^® Bar Soap Hand Soap and Body Wash deliver a refreshing, effective clean without potentially harmful chemicals – so what washes down the drain won't pollute our waterways.

Ola Botanicals^® Gentle, Effective Soaps for a Luxurious, Worry-Free Bath & Shower Experience

Ola Botanicals^® makes nature its strategic partner, with each soap product featuring organic botanical ingredients that proactively nourish and hydrate your skin while being good to the environment.

Made with a simple formula of organic, plant-derived oils and moisturizing shea butter, Ola Botanicals^® Unscented Bar Soap is perfect for nourishing all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It is handcrafted by a New England soap maker using traditional methods that produce a smooth, long-lasting bar of silky soap. Avoiding harmful ingredients and fragrance-free, this unscented bar soap is gentle for daily use to soothe dry skin while maintaining your skin's natural moisture, leaving it feeling calm and hydrated.

Made with organic coconut oil, Ola Botanicals^® Foaming Hand Soap is a velvety, fragrance-free soap that will gently cleanse and moisturize your hands effectively, leaving them feeling renewed and balanced. This naturally hydrating liquid soap is strained through fine mesh screens built into the dispenser, producing a fluffy, satisfying foam that you will love using on your hands. It's suitable for even the most sensitive skin and sensitive noses.

Scented with natural sweet orange oil, accented by eucalyptus, cedarwood, lemon, lavandin and rosemary, Ola Botanicals^® Sweet Orange Body Wash transforms your bathroom into a tranquil spa. This soothing blend of olive, coconut and jojoba oils produces a rich lather, cleansing and softening your skin with natural botanicals that are good for your skin and good for the earth. Add it when you run your bath water for a delightful, aromatic bubble bath experience that leaves your skin soft and your senses refreshed.

All Ola Botanicals^® products are 100% cruelty-free, which means innocent animals are never used as test subjects for any of the ingredients, which feature:

Organic Palm Oil

With a history of use of over 5,000 years, palm oil is valued for its rich supply of essential fatty acids (EFA) and skin-loving vitamins and minerals.

Palm oil comes from the palm fruit and is rich in EFAs, including palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and stearic acid, which help hydrate and soften your skin by helping to seal moisture in. This makes it a valuable ingredient in soap, where it is used to offset the stripping nature of cleansing ingredients. Palm oil also nourishes your skin with nutrients and potent antioxidants, including carotenoids, phytosterols, beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, and tocotrienols, an extremely potent form of vitamin E.

Unlike the many petrochemicals in most popular skin care products, palm oil is renewable and biodegradable, making it as gentle on the earth as it is on your skin.
Organic Coconut Oil

Richly rejuvenating to your skin, coconut oil protects against damaging free radicals that can cause your skin to show signs of premature aging caused by stress. It may also help protect your skin against blemishes.

Coconut oil helps create a youthful and noticeably smooth appearance by removing the outer layer of dead skin cells. It contains a rich supply of essential fatty acids (EFAs) that help keep your skin's connective tissues strong and supple. It can even penetrate the deeper layers of your skin to strengthen underlying tissues.

Coconut oil is renewable and biodegradable, making it as good for the earth as it is for your skin.
Organic Olive Oil

Grown and produced across the lands of the Mediterranean, olive oil has been used for thousands of years to nourish and revitalize skin. It contains three natural substances that are great for your skin: squalene, squalane and hydroxytyrosol. Squalene and squalane protect your skin's own natural oils from oxidative damage. In fact, your body produces squalene as part of sebum.

Hydroxytyrosol is a polyphenol with the highest level of free radical protection activity ever identified for any natural antioxidant compound. Found only in olive oil, this super fighter protects against skin damage from stress, exercise, pollutants and other lifestyle stressors.

An excellent emollient, olive oil smooths and softens skin. It is non-greasy and penetrates the skin without clogging pores. Olive oil helps restore elasticity and suppleness to delicate tissue, especially around your eyes.
Organic Shea Butter

A cream from the tropics of Africa with naturally occurring vitamin A, this moisturizer is so highly regarded that its source tree was nicknamed the “Tree of Life.”

Creates moisture similar to what your skin's own sebaceous glands produce, with an abundance of skin health-promoting ingredients – vitamins, minerals, proteins and a unique fatty acid profile. Contains 7% to 12% unsaponifiables, or natural vegetable extracts, known for their skin conditioning benefits to help maintain your skin's natural elasticity

How to Navigate Labels – “Organic” and “Natural”

Unfortunately, you can't totally depend on the words "organic" and "natural" on body care product labels to protect you from potentially toxic chemicals.

According to a report by the Organic Consumers Association, the word "organic" is not regulated with personal care products as it is with food products.

The word “natural” is allowed on products with ingredients derived from plants, even when those ingredients are chemically processed and combined with other ingredients.

Some bath and soap products with “organic” on the label may contain only a single-digit percentage of organic ingredients. Other products may use synthetic ingredients, or ingredients that are derived from natural sources, but then highly processed so they contain potentially toxic compounds.

As an example, a 2008 study commissioned by the Organic Consumers Association found that many leading "natural" and "organic" brand body washes and shampoos contained the cancer-causing contaminant 1,4-Dioxane.

Protecting yourself can require sharp detective work.

Read labels carefully, and look for those 'dirty dozen' ingredients to avoid so inviting hazardous substances in your home. Instead, look for products with truly organic, unprocessed botanical ingredients.
