Thanks for the hunt Jack! Michael here, the maker of the brand Tree To Tub (can't quite call ourselves the makers of the soapberry since it grows from trees).
After a food, and an ed-tech (#500strong) company, I decided to an impact-oriented business with my buddy Brian. We hope to change the way we clean with the "purest" soap from nature, the Soapberry.
We went back to my hometown Taiwan, and partnered up with eco-reserves and local communities to sustainably harvest these wild soapberries to make the most natural & gentle shampoo & body wash. Why use harmful chemicals, when you can use the soap nature intended?
Give us any feedback or ask us anything, cheers!

@michael60716 This is just incredible Michael! We have such a weird relationship with soap, bacteria lol infocommercials of the 90s lol
Glad to see we're going back how it was before we had capitalistic hungry machines focusing on adding food coloring to gels and encourage harmonious living with the environment.
Can't wait to buy a bag of this for myself and my mom this week.
I'm also extremly sensitive to all of this man made stuff, I've had really bad reactions to some dyes and chemicals in soaps, I always focus on going more natural...this looks like it could be what I've been waiting for!!!!
@nicholassheriff Hey Nicholas, this type of message really means a lot to us! The way we understand cleaning today is vey twisted by all the advertising tricks (e.g. cleanness = chemical lathers + killing bacterias)
In body care products alone, there are more than 5000 different types of chemicals used, and less than 200 of them have been tested for safety. Lots of them are known carcinogens or pollutants and are still being used legally in many well-known brands.
It DOESN'T have to be like that! Civilizations (Indians, Chinese..) had stayed clean and healthy for thousands of years by trusting nature, we can do the same too!
Is there a hand soap for on the go available? My dad has to use hand sanitiser every time someone shakes his hand haha
and by hand soap here I mean like a dry one that you dont have to actually wash with water
@bentossell haha our previous investor Howie Mandel is like that too! Antibacterial soap often contains chemicals like Triclosan, a known endocrine disruptor, so he should definitely watch out. Soapberry is one of the only naturally antibacterial surfactant, and is super gentle. The soapberry body wash would do the job, and we're working on a hand soap and face wash at the moment!
@michael60716 cool... yeh I was thinking more of the hand gels people take out with them (for festivals, public toilets etc)... wonder if there is anything that can be done with soapberry and hand gels
