About our partner
Meliora began when their co-founder, Kate, began wondering what was really in her cleaning products. After discovering companies aren’t actually required to list all of their ingredients, Kate set out to create cleaning products with simple, earth-friendly ingredients that are listed on the front of the package.
Meliora means “better” in Latin, and that’s what these cleaning products are made to be. They’re conscious about choosing ingredients that are effective, safe for the home and body, and cause no trouble for Mother Earth after the chores are said and done.
To support their planet friendly commitment, Meliora has several certifications. As a certified B Corp, Meliora is evaluated by a third-party; it highlights strengths in company ownership and governance (woman-owned), labor practices (living wages), and the product itself (low impact products and packaging). Through partnerships with 1% for the Planet and Women’s Voices for the Earth, Meliora commits 2% of annual revenues to environmental and charitable nonprofits.
The Made Safe seal signifies that their products and ingredients have been examined for buildup in the environment (including aquatic toxicity) and our bodies. Their products are also cruelty-free: Leaping Bunny is the highest standard for companies that are committed to using no animal testing.

More information about ingredients
Meliora’s Bath & Body Bar uses coconut and sunflower seed oils as the base vegetable oils for the soap. This combination gives a beautiful, firm, bright bar that also lathers and cleans without drying your skin.
Sourced from Century Sun Oil out of Pulaski, WI, their organic sunflower oil is a local alternative. It gives the bars a soft, full lather and a brighter, whiter color without any added dyes or additives.
Sodium cocoate: This is the chemical name of saponified (that is, “made into soap”) coconut oil. It’s the chemical that grabs onto both dirt and water to do the cleaning.
Sodium sunflowerate: This is the chemical name of the saponified sunflower seed oil.
Glycerin: This substance is a type of alcohol and is naturally created when the oil is converted into soap. Glycerin is known for skin-softening abilities and is an effective solvent, meaning it can dissolve substances such as stains and dirt.
Organic Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil and organic Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil: There is always some coconut and sunflower seed oils left in the soap after conversion to sodium cocoate and sodium sunflowerate. This is because they use sodium hydroxide, or lye, in the conversion process. Leaving these excess oils in the soap not only ensures there is no remaining lye in the finished product, it also gives the soap its lather and moisturizing feel. Some soapmakers refer to this as “superfatting” and more oil remaining results in a softer, more moisturizing bar.
Water: Water is used in the soapmaking process to dissolve lye and act as a medium so the lye can reach all of the oil to react. After being useful in this process, the water is allowed to evaporate from the soap over a period of several weeks, and the resulting vegetable soap has very little water. There is only about 5% water remaining in the finished soap, thus making it more shelf stable than a liquid soap that would require a preservative due to the high (about 60%) water content.
