Describe your products in 3 words.
Good. Clean. Fun.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
In 2011, Bill and his wife Courtney Apple learned that 5 million children die each year from water-related illness, deaths that can be prevented with simple hand washing alone. In 2012, they took a trip to Haiti and saw firsthand the effect the give back model could have on people’s lives. So they got an idea: create a better soap that could give back and help save lives. With that, our BUY ONE, GIVE BACK program (and the company) were born.
What makes your product special?
In a world full of challenges, soap is our superpower. What if soap could do more than smell yummy and look pretty? At Hand in Hand, it does. By making the right decisions on everything from our supply chain to our packaging, something as small as soap can have a powerful impact on both people and planet.
What has been the best part of your experience?
In 2012 we had our first trip to Haiti, where we saw firsthand the effect our give back model could have on people’s lives. If we needed any validation for the mission driving our work, this was it. Thank you for joining us on our mission to sustain people and planet in everything we do.
