Organic Potato-Based Skincare with a Humanitarian Reach

MAKEPEACE

When life brings you to Idaho and gives you potatoes… MAKEPEACE! Introducing our complete skin care bath line made entirely from 100% organic Idaho potatoes. The nostalgic romance of hand-made soap is the inspiration for our signature formula consisting of only the finest ingredients. Our soap can be used for all skin types. Nourishing organic potato softens and smooths skin.

Hygiene and physical dignity is a global human right. Soap is a basic life necessity, but for millions of displaced people around the world, this is unattainable. For every product sold MAKEPEACE will donate one bar of soap to a child or adult in a refugee camp. MAKEPEACE is the belief that peace is born in the details of everyday life. MAKEPEACE is the practice of peace making within our own hearts, our life, our relationships. These actions foster a momentum for peace in our body, community, city, nation and world. Humanity hopes for peace. Humanity protests for peace. Humanity prays for peace. We can go beyond hope, prayer, protest… and make peace. Join the movement! Share your #MAKEPEACE moment.

I got into entrepreneurship because I admire the individualism and spirit of creativity. My vision was to create a brand that gave back to women and build community up. To get into business for me was out of desperation to expand my opportunity in U.S. and provide my family with financial freedom.
