The switch to organic essential oils was instrumental in advancing this young, innovative company?s vision of creating sustainable products for a sustainable future into a reality. Essential oils make up only a small percentage of the total shower gel formulation; however, it takes a substantial amount of land resources to produce essential oils. For example, one acre of land may produce as much as 2,018 pounds of coconut oil; whereas, the same acre of land may produce only EIGHT OUNCES of rose essential oil. By replacing natural essential oils with organic oils, Pangea is directly supporting a sizeable amount of organic agriculture in an effort to sustain the environment. Making the commitment to use only organic essential oils has furthered Pangea in its mission to get truly organic products into the hands of consumers at a fair price.

Pangea?s revolutionary line of personal-care products (shower gels, liquid soaps and bar soaps) is made entirely without petrochemicals, parabens or synthetic preservatives. Most ?natural? and ?organic? body-care products available today contain petrochemical surfactants, which are chemical foaming agents derived from petroleum. Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Propylene Glycol are just a few examples of petrochemicals that can take up to 200 years to breakdown in an ecosystem. Instead of using petrochemicals, Pangea saponifies high-quality organic oils to create a rich, creamy lather that replenishes and hydrates the body, leaving the skin feeling soft, clean and chemical-free. Setting Pangea apart from most other ?natural? and ?organic? products, Pangea products begin to biodegrade within 48 hours of use.

In line with Pangea?s mission to get high-quality, sustainable and truly organic products into the hands of consumers at a fair price, Pangea?s reformulated liquid soaps and shower gels have a Suggested Retail Price of $11.99.
