Quality subpar, "Amish" and made in America claim, suspect
I ordered this soap because of the natural claims and natural ingredients and after getting it, I became suspicious of the "Amish" claim. Clearly many companies use the "Amish" claim, which would denote quality, while having nothing to do with the "Amish". Because of the clear lack of quality and debris in one of the bars, I became suspicious that this was yet another false claim of being made by "Amish".
I buy Organic Pure Unrefined GHANA African Black soap, buy it in 10 lb blocks and getting debris in the soap is normal. They will even tell you why and what the debris are. There is no reason for anyone making soap in modern United States to have debris in the soap.
Also, they claim to use " natural wildflower scent " , once you smell this, you can tell it's not natural. The scent is VERY strong, which is not the norm when using " natural wildflower scent " or any natural product for scent. It smells like dove soap.
A quick look at the website and you'll see that there is no address for this company on their site. No address on the soap bag and no list of ingredients to substantiate their natural claims. A review on their website says it's an old farm with some metal buildings, but the address on their Facebook pages shows a warehouse that is for rent, next to a detailing shop. Where this soap is being made is a mystery and I doubt the made in America claim at this point. The original owner of the company does live on a a farm with a few metal buildings, but he's no longer the owner.
The founder of the company is does not to appear to be Amish. He sold the company to unknown parties for an undisclosed amount of money. Where it's currently made or what it contains is unknown.
The funny part is the Company's website links you to the Facebook page, their Facebook page links to a completely different Amish company.
UPDATE: Turns out the soap is loaded with debris. I'm also convinced that a good portion of this soap is made from recycled soap. As I found unmixed white soap in the bar.
I found an address for the company under a label. The address does not exist according to UPSP. Seems like a marketing ploy to make it seem like its made by Amish people. The owner of the company also owns a company that does recycling of goods, in fact he was sued for misusing recycled goods.
STAY FAR , FAR AWAY FROM THIS SOAP.
