Greenwash Soap by Better Climate Store is touted as a solution for washing away climate guilt, and it challenges the claims made by brands that would rather greenwash their products than have than do right by the environment. This deeply moisturizing soap is made with the saponified oils of coconut, canola, castor, purified water, sodium hydroxide and essential oils to create an invigorating eucalyptus mint scent.
Proceeds from this soap go towards the BETTER Climate Fund, and as such Greenwash Soap claims to be "the only greenwash that actually helps the planet."
To build the buzz surrounding this soap bar, the brand teamed up with creative agency Spacecraft Earth for a 30-second commercial that parodies body care advertisements and the results they promise.
