Green products offer budget-minded consumers affordable, all-occasion alternatives
ST. HELENA, Calif. (January 30th, 2009)—Long before it was “eco-chic” to do so, NAPA SOAP COMPANY, leading producer of environmentally friendly products for the body and home, proudly stood atop its soapbox to trumpet the virtues of cost-benefit natural beauty and sustainability. Today, the trailblazing manufacturer reaffirms its position by handcrafting socially responsible goods at reasonable prices.
NAPA SOAP COMPANY’s proprietor, Sheila Rockwood, is a force of nature. A concerned entrepreneur-mom, Rockwood draws inspiration from the range of healing properties found in the wine country’s indigenous, back-to-basic natural ingredients that she infuses into all her paraben-free products, many of which are harvested locally and/or recycled from local wine production, including plant extracts, blends of red and white wine and grapeseed oil. Acclaimed for her small-batch production methods, Rockwood’s proprietary manufacturing process ensures product integrity, most evident in natural composition of her comprehensive collection of bar soaps—a company staple and the catalyst for its inception. Today, Rockwood’s green-minded enterprise, one of the first to puts its money toward its mission, is now putting it back into the pockets of cash-strapped consumers. Among NAPA SOAP COMPANY’s affordable green gifting options:
• Bar Soaps: These signature mood soothers are gifts that keep on giving. Each 6 oz. bar comes individually wrapped in handmade paper, is 100% plant-derived and produces loads of lather for gentle cleansing.
