4 Ingredients We'll Never Use in Our Products

NewHope360.com, one of the leading natural products information sites online, posted an article listing "4 controversial personal care ingredients to know."

Some of these ingredients haven't necessarily been definitively been proven to cause harm, but there's been enough concern in the marketplace over them that more and more people are looking for items without them.

The four controversial ingredients are: Parabens, Nanoparticles, Synthetic Fragrance, and Sodium laureth sulfate/sodium lauryl sulfate. We've never used, and will never use any of these ingredients in any of our products.

We're on a mission...

Plain and simple, you could say that our mission is to make really great soap. To turn ordinary shower experiences into extraordinary events. Frankly, over the years I've been amazed at what a difference in quality of life a good bar of soap can make for someone.

Recently I was challenged to come up with some core values. Our values are what keep us going, and what ultimately filters what we do and how we do it. Over the last few months I've just been observing things here at the Cheeky Maiden house and I made a little list.

You could call it our Five Core Values.

1. Cheeky Maiden Soap Co operates with integrity and transparency. Not only do we seek to always deliver exactly what we promised, we disclose all ingredients. We won't give you the impression that our soap is all natural and then slip in some fake stuff when no one is looking.
2. Purity and quality are our #1 concern in manufacturing safe soap and body care products for your family (and ours!). We research ingredients, question the producers of those ingredients, and refuse to ever lower our standards. All of our colorants are plants, clays, roots, seeds, or charcoals- never anything synthetic being passed as "natural". All of our scents are from steam distilled essential oils- straight from the plants! No synthetic fragrances- ever.
3. Cheeky Maiden always wants to provide outstanding customer service. We are not out to "make a quick penny" and take pride in our work. If you aren't satisfied, please let us know so that we can make it right! Since every product is made by our own hands, we love to hear how they are working for our customers.
4. Cheeky Maiden seeks to influence the surrounding community. We love to get involved in the good stuff going on around us, as well as participating in community enrichment projects such as Farmer's Markets. (This summer we'll be doing four markets! We love to meet our customers face to face and get to know y'all!)
5. Cheeky Maiden promotes healthy families. We work as a family to produce the items that you purchase from us. Everyone but the baby has a job, and we love having our kids work by our side. In the future, we'll be looking for ways to get involved in promoting healthy families in the communities around us!
