At LAFCO, we believe that luxury should be meaningful. As Earth Day approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how everyday choices can make a lasting difference. One of our proudest initiatives is simple but impactful: for every three bar soaps sold, we plant one tree.
Our bar soaps are already crafted without palm oil, a decision rooted in our commitment to protecting forests and wildlife. Now, with every trio of bars purchased, your daily ritual also contributes to reforestation efforts around the globe.
Why Trees Matter
Trees are essential to life. They purify the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat for more than 80% of Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity. Planting trees helps combat climate change, reduces erosion, and restores ecosystems that are vital for wildlife and communities.
Working with trusted reforestation partners, LAFCO ensures your purchases directly support the growth of new forests. It may seem like a small gesture, but together, these small acts grow into something much greater. In 2024 alone, LAFCO has planted almost 7,000 trees.
A Soap That Gives Back
Every LAFCO bar soap is a product of thoughtful design and traditional craftsmanship. Made in a small factory in Portugal, each bar is aged for four weeks to create a soap that is dense, long-lasting, and quick to dry. The formula combines pure coconut and olive oils with LAFCO’s signature essential oil-based fragrances. Sweet almond oil and rice proteins nourish the skin while providing gentle moisture.
What’s not inside matters just as much. LAFCO soaps are free from palm oil, sulfates, parabens, and synthetic additives. Our decision to remove palm oil reflects our long-standing values and our desire to minimize harm to the planet and endangered wildlife.
Fragrances That Bring Spring to Life
This April, we’re also celebrating the season with a collection of fragrances that reflect the freshness and beauty of spring. Housed in green-tinted vessels, they echo the spirit of Earth Day and the landscapes they’re inspired by.
- Fresh Cut Gardenia: Soft floral notes of gardenia blossom and green leaves fill the air with the essence of springtime gardens.
- Jungle Bloom: A vibrant blend of tropical botanicals and lush greens, this fragrance captures the wild beauty of the rainforest.
- Rosemary Eucalyptus: Clean and herbal, this scent layers eucalyptus and rosemary for a grounding and energizing experience.
- Forest Oakmoss: Earthy and rich, this fragrance evokes the peace of walking through a sun-dappled forest.
Each candle vessel can be repurposed after use. Use them as planters, storage containers, or decorative accents. These little choices add up and help reduce waste.
