Carbon Neutral

We’re proud to have received our federally recognized certification mark as a carbon neutral company!  All of our offsets are used locally to purchase trees for Alachua Conservation Fund.

Our mission is to be an active part of the much needed solutions for a sustainable future. Every bar of soap that we make has this in mind.

Having our certification means so much more to us than just offsetting our emissions. Cap and trade can be a tool used for abuse if core changes are not implemented. Factories, bottling plants, chemical plants, and even small businesses can simply pay for their pollution and environmental impact without making the needed changes to clean up.  The change has to start in our personal lives and in our business practices by learning how to be more sustainable, reducing the mark we leave on our planet, and by finding more suitable ways to exist with our land.

Moksa believes in starting a “clean” revolution one bar of soap at a time!  Part of our business philosophy includes:

  • waste reduction of raw materials
  • perfecting our soap formulas (understanding the chemistry and molecular process) in order to eliminate end product waste
  • reduction of water usage (our system for clean up entails a 3 part system that uses only a few gallons of water)
  • overall energy reduction (energy efficient appliances, using off peak hours during creation and curing processes)
  • AVOIDING NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES such as aluminum & tin containers (not to mention the environmental impact from mining),  packaging made from petroleum such as plastics (PP, PET, PS, etc), as well as avoiding petroleum in our products, eliminating ingredients whenever possible that go through a refinement process
  • avoiding paper products, packaging and labels from the logging industry
  • supporting and purchasing from suppliers with the same business philosophy

We don’t waiver from our beliefs, even if it means that we as a producer make less money.  Each and every day we feel good about what we do, and that’s worth so much more!
