Made simply, with love and without unnecessary harsh or toxic chemicals, our goals are quality, practicality, and simplicity. We use essential oils to scent our bars and try to keep our ingredient lists short and sweet.
The Green Banana Story
Started in 2015, Green Banana Soap got its name after an impromptu craft fair resulted in ultra-fresh but not-quite-cured soap bars. Each customer was sent home with an info sheet instructing them on how long to wait before using their bars to ensure they were fully cured.
Now selling ripe soaps, but still keeping it fresh, Green Banana focuses on providing quality, natural bar soap to keep you and your family clean and healthy and strives to provide products that even our most sensitive monkeys can enjoy. The bars are small-batch made in Port Moody, BC, each with love, care, and your well-being in mind. Keeping it simple. Keeping it fresh. Keeping it natural.
Why All Natural?
In today’s world, we are constantly inundated with harsh chemicals, often without even knowing it. The average adult uses nine personal care products per day, which can contain an array of a hundred and twenty-six different chemical ingredients, many of them being known toxins, let alone the ones that are unregulated and untested (Exposures add up – Survey results, ewg.org).
I want to provide a product that people can use safely without experiencing negative health effects now or in the future. Step by step, we can reduce our use of harmful chemicals and keep our homes – and in turn our bodies – a healthy place.
Below is a great video on the story of cosmetics. If you have time, I would also highly recommend the documentary The Human Experiment, by Dana Nachman and Don Hardy.
Comments & Testimonials
Review from Monica M.
“I want to give Green Banana Co. a five star rating! They offer the highest quality products one can find anywhere. They only use the best natural ingredients available, and in generous quantities. I’ve tried several of their products and have loved each and every one of them, but my favorite so far is their deodorant, Monkey Pits! My husband, daughter and I all agree that it is the best and nicest deodorant we have ever used. Now that I’ve been using Green Banana Co. products, I’m spoiled for anything else, because nothing compares. All of their products are also wonderful aromatherapy and they make great gifts!”
Review from Ekaterina M.
“Thank you for making the most fantastic soap bars we have ever used!
The quality and the smell are amazing. The soap is pH balanced (wonderfully soft, cleans awesome, easily rinses and leaves the skin moisturized).
The packaging is beautiful and aesthetically designed, and the soap bars names are original and descriptive.
Have just placed an order with you, but just wanted to say what a wonderful product you make!”
Review from Annica H.
“It might be kind of funny to say, but this soap takes you places! There is a summit, a spa day, conjured images of warm, floral fields…. Really it makes getting clean as fun as getting dirty! And you can tell how much love goes into the making of each one of these bars. ESPECIALLY the Oats’n’honey. Please never run out of Oats’n’honey.”
Please note, due to the nature of these soaps being small-batch made and hand-cut, shapes, sizes and designs will vary bar-to-bar. I hope you can enjoy the uniqueness of each one as much as we do!
