Our commitment to maintaining high social values pervades the entire organization, from product design and manufacturing to product delivery. The goal was, and continues to be, to create a “green” company from the ground up beginning with the product line. The products are all natural and botanically-based and contain no harmful additives or preservatives such as sulfates or parabens. Paper used is from recycled sources, and the company uses vegetable-based inks and maintains a recycling program for its product containers.

In addition, Soul Purpose continually strives to collaborate with like-minded organizations when contracting for goods and services. Our wild crafted Shea butter and honey are sourced from a women’s cooperative in Northern Ghana—a partnership that enables the women in this impoverished region of the world to support educational and medical needs within their communities. Over 70 percent of our products are supplied by RainShadow Labs based in St. Helens, Oregon, a women owned and operated company that is powered with 100 percent renewable wind energy and provides employment opportunities to more than 95 individuals with autism, mental retardation and other challenges through its partnership with Riverside Training Centers, a local United Way agency. Soul Purpose is also proud to partner with a women’s cooperative in India that provides us with our beautiful silk journals, a collaboration that enables the cooperative to provide employment for women who may otherwise be unemployed.
