RAD Soap Co. is family-owned and may be our most hyper-local vendor in terms of production proximity, only 3.7 miles away from the co-op! RAD has developed a unique and top secret proprietary process for creating their hand crafted batches of soap. The process includes suspending the soap in a glycerin state with botanicals and essential oils never being exposed to caustic sodas/lye, therefore never altering the delicate state of those natural ingredients.
RAD will be here at the co-op demoing all afternoon, come meet the faces behind the product!
