Why Go Natural?
Social media has been both a blessing and a curse, inundating us with constant information about health and beauty. Every day brings a new trend, promising either eternal youth or deadly consequences.
At Wander Wash Co., we refuse to follow the ever-changing fads. Instead, we rely on proven facts and time-honored traditions when creating our recipes and choosing ingredients. We believe in the power of nature and science, combining old-school knowledge with modern understanding for the best possible results. Our products are carefully crafted using methods that have stood the test of time, rather than fleeting trends that may do more harm than good.
Let’s explore some of the reasons that going natural can be better when choosing hygiene products.
1. Minimizing Exposure to Harmful Chemicals
Many popular products contain artificial chemicals, parabens, and sulfates that can irritate the skin, cause respiratory problems, and disrupt hormonal balance.
More research is coming out all the time about the effect unregulated fragrances have on our bodies, including the potential to cause asthma and various cancers. Often, individuals use items such as inexpensive candles from discount stores or heavily scented perfumes/body sprays without knowing the toxic chemicals used to create those scents. The United States has pretty lax rules when it comes to fragrances, so it’s up to both consumers and ethical companies to monitor what we use.
Natural hygiene products do a great job helping you (and us) avoid these dangerous ingredients. At Wander Wash, we only use natural or non-toxic fragrances that are derived from natural sources and are free of phthalates (cancer-causing nasties in mainstream fragrances), meeting the strict standards set by Europe.
Natural doesn't always mean safer.
But just because it's natural doesn't automatically mean it's safer! There are plenty of compounds and substances that are 100% natural and 100% deadly: arsenic, lead, uranium, asbestos, snake venom...you get the idea. Do your due diligence before simply using a product or even making your own from a "natural" substance. Even essential oils are harmful in the wrong concentrations or wrong applications.
2. Gentler on Skin
Sourced from nature, our products are crafted with the finest nourishing ingredients, including luxurious shea butter, creamy cocoa butter, pure olive fruit oil, and invigorating essential oils. We understand the importance of caring for sensitive skin, which is why we carefully select each ingredient to ensure minimal risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
Our cold-process soap is expertly formulated to create a rich lather while remaining gentle on all skin types.
For our shampoo bars, we use coconut-based surfactants that are completely detergent-free, providing a delicate yet effective cleansing experience for your hair and scalp.
With our products, every shower becomes a spa-like experience for your body and senses.
3. Nutrient-Rich Ingredients
Our natural hygiene products are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatories that nourish the skin and hair. By promoting healing and hydration from the outside in, our products provide amazing benefits without artificial additives. We simply harness the natural power of these ingredients and work to enhance their properties to create the best possible results.

Get Lost is our top-selling bar soap, not just because it smells like a forested mountain after the rain (which it does) which is appealing to the noses of all genders, but also because it's 100% natural top to bottom and packed with amazing essential oils like Pine needle oil (not pine scotch which smells like floor cleaner), fir needle, Juniper Berry, and cedarwood. We also put in a little extra shea butter to give your skin an even better experience. It even comes in a 100% recyclable box. No plastic used!
