2022 Donations

Every year, we give a portion of our proceeds to causes we're passionate about. We believe charity is essential for building communities and ensuring everyone has what they need to thrive. Even just one bar of donated soap can make a difference!

For 2022, we're doing things a little differently. We selected three organizations that reflect our values and three products to go with them. We're donating $1 from the sale of each one all year long!

Learn more about the causes below.

10" Silicone Loaf Mold

These donations are going to Genesys Works. They help high school students from underserved areas find meaningful careers and other opportunities.

They do that through skills training, internships, and college and career coaching. Genesys also has a network of alumni to offer support to students. They helped 2,443 of them in 2020 alone!

This organization doesn't just benefit the students either. It helps their families and communities, while also helping businesses in the area find skilled and highly-trained candidates. 

2 oz. Bramble Berry Fragrance Oil

We chose Vital Voices for this product because of their unique mission. They find women leaders who are trying to make a difference and invest in their cause.

Since 1997, Vital Voices has built a network of 18,000 women across 185 countries. They're fighting against gender-based violence, climate change, economic inequality, and more.

The resources provided include skills training, capacity development, mentoring, and network expansion. 

33 oz. Gentle Quick Mix

Every purchase of this Quick Mix will support charity: water. They help bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries.

Currently, 785 million people lack access to this necessary resource. Since 2006, charity: water has funded almost 80,000 water projects and helped more than 13 million people. 

Donations go to hand-dug wells, rainwater catchments, water purification systems, and more. Along with helping other organizations plan and implement these services, charity: water also makes sure they're maintained for years to come.
