We finally found the best all natural bar soaps that we’ve ever tried. Today’s journal is all about introducing you to the latest member of the pinkmoon.co curation, Unearth Malee. Let’s get right to it!
Unearth Malee is a proudly zero waste line of all natural bar soaps and eco-friendly home goods that is all handcrafted only in small batches. Everything is made from scratch! Captivated by her Thai background, founder Marie Peckham pours her heart into developing original recipes that join aromatic Asian spices and herbs with certified organic vegetable oils (and no palm oil!) to send your senses off to Southeast Asia.
This line is a love letter to Marie’s life. Born to a Thai American family, she grew up immersed in the fragrant notes of Asian cuisine. Her inspiration draws from the curiosity she cultivated in her mother’s kitchen. As the enticing aromas of lemongrass, ginger and cilantro spread throughout her house, she became more and more intrigued in getting acquainted with these exotic ingredients.
The word Malee is special in itself for Marie. Meaning jasmine flower in Thai, it’s also a name that has been passed down for three generations in her family. Longing to identify with and come close to her Thai roots, she ultimately chose to name her line of all natural soaps and eco essentials after her grandmother. Unearth Malee is not only an ode to her cultural heritage, but also an infusion of her passion for all things pure and natural.
There’s a little secret that lies in the packaging. Each all natural soap bar comes wrapped in Nepalese lofka paper embedded with flower seeds. Made by rural craftspeople in the highlands of Nepal, Marie sourced these unique wrappers from a company that supports the economic independence of this community. Soak it in water before planting to grow your North American wildflower seeds at home!
We can’t forget their generous social efforts! Unearth Malee gives back to local nonprofits that work to help families in need and that support access to the arts. Part of their social efforts also includes protecting orangutans in Asia by giving back to the Orangutan Foundation International.
