Soapbox is a personal care brand on a mission to bring products to the market where consumers can feel the difference and make a difference with every single wash and purchase.

The brand’s Tea Tree Clean and Purify Shampoo was developed to provide a cooling sensation that cleanses away build-up and leaves the hair and scalp feeling cool, calm and refreshed.

Noyah believes its products should be good for the customers who use them and good for the planet they live on. The company features clean formulas that are mostly certified organic and biobased, containing as few ingredients as possible with names that are easy to understand.
Its packaging is eco-friendly and sustainable, featuring bamboo, glass, 88 percent PCR plastic, tubes made of sugar cane and compostable wraps. And, since users likely eat pounds of lip care products during their lifetime, its products are made from 100 percent food in kitchens instead of cosmetic manufacturing plants.
Its Natural Lipsticks are USDA Certified 100 percent Biobased. Their simple, uncomplicated ingredients feature waxes, oils, and mineral-based pigments designed to deliver great color payoff and staying power. The bamboo packaging is fully sustainable and contain no parabens, sulphates and phthalates.
