Sometimes a product idea comes around that is so obvious it makes you want to slap your self in the head and say, "Why didn't I think of that!?" Naked soap is that product and it is produced locally by Celtic Naturals.

Celtic Naturals has focused on the environmental aspects of the soap making process, from raw material selection (all natural) to manufacturing efforts, and from marketing to packaging. A healthy portion of the business is spent educating the public on the choices of all-natural skin care and its pros and cons.

The company uses fully recyclable packaging. The paper is 70 percent recycled, the lightest weight possible for printing, and they use the minimal amount of adhesive for wrapping. They do not use any plastic wrapping and the soaps are provided in exchange cartons to all local retailers (remember the old days of milk crates?) The pine cartons are handmade in Ohio for Celtic Naturals.
