The Importance of Ethically Sourced Ingredients in Handmade Soaps

Have you ever thought about the origin of the ingredients that are used in the process of making your soap? It is not only the content of the soap but also the way and manner in which the ingredients were produced and sourced.

In a world where the production is cheap and fast, it is not a trend to use the ingredients that are sourced in an ethical manner; it is a requirement.

What Does “Ethically Sourced” Actually Mean?

When we say ethically sourced, we mean ingredients that are:

• Grown and harvested sustainably

• Free from exploitation (no child labor, fair wages, safe working conditions)

• Kind to the environment, local communities, and your skin

In many commercial products, ingredient sourcing is murky at best. Palm oil might come from deforested land, or shea butter from underpaid laborers.

But at Fika Soaps, every ingredient has a story—and we make sure it’s a good one.

Fika Soaps only uses ingredients from sources we trust—fair trade, cruelty-free, and environmentally mindful. That means every bar is made with care from soil to skin.

Why It Matters for You (and the Planet)

Choosing handmade soaps with ethically sourced ingredients means:

• Better skin health from pure, clean botanicals

• Support for fair trade practices and local economies

• Reduced environmental footprint

It’s a simple switch that supports something much bigger than your daily skincare routine.
