signal boost: some good news among all the bad

I can vouch for the fact that Sunbasin makes good soap. I use Enigma (unscented) and it works great. Yes, it's pricy for a bar of soap, but it actually reduced the amount of products I was buying overall because it's gentle enough to work as face soap1 so I stopped buying a separate facial cleaner. I also use their shampoo bars, specifically the juniper pine and rosemary mint. I get it as a subscription, three soap bars and two shampoo bars mailed very three months2, which is convenient, and now my shower is so much less cluttered, with only a soap bar, a shampoo bar, and a bottle of conditioner.
The socks are also nice. I don't subscribe, but I have occasionally bought a pair on clearance. The quality is good, and I appreciate that they have more than one size.
But even if you're not in the market for soap or socks, the video is worth watching if just for a bit of happy news about what can happen when people actually care about something and work to make it better.
1 Your skin may vary. FWIW, I have what I would describe as sensitive but not very sensitive or problem skin. I don't have any specific skin conditions that I'm managing.
2 My last order in March cost me $54.90 including tax and shipping (shipping was free) which works out to $18.30/month over 3 months which seems like a reasonable amount to spend on luxury shower products.
