CBD Product Information

CBD is a cannabinoid (organic substance) found in the hemp plant. It is non-psychoactive and can be extracted from the plant in the form of full-spectrum hemp extract or CBD isolate. 

Full-spectrum hemp extract is oil extracted from hemp that contains all of the cannabinoids in the plant, like CBC and CBG. CBD is just one cannabinoid in the compound. It also called full-spectrum CBD.

CBD isolate isolates the cannabinoid, resulting in pure CBD. 

Research suggests the overall benefit from full-spectrum hemp extract outweighs that of CBD isolate. Our products are crafted with full-spectrum hemp extract.

No, marijuana is a strain of the plant Cannabis Sativa containing high levels of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC.

Each bar of Pacha Soap you purchase is carefully crafted by our soap makers, in-house in historic downtown Hastings, Nebraska!

Because we give a bar of soap for every bar you purchase, there are actually two bars that need to be made. Instead of shipping soap to those in need, we help train and provide careers for the local people to make and distribute the give-away bars to children in their surrounding communities!

When you purchase a bar of Pacha Soap, you know you are getting a premium product. Not only do we use premium plant oils and essential oils, but our soap makers handcraft every batch of bar soap by hand, in-house in Hastings, Nebraska! We pour, mix, cut, stack and ship all our bars by hand. We even make our soap molds and soap cutters! We’re about as handcrafted as it gets. The reason we are so insistent about the handmade quality of our soap is two-fold:

1. It is part of Pacha Soap’s mission to create the finest, environmentally sustainable products… the best way to monitor that is to get our hands in there and make the bars ourselves!

2. We want to be able to intimately know the soap-making process, so when we set up small scale soap making shops in developing nations, we have the knowledge and tools to help them be as successful as possible.

Contact us and we would be happy to provide wholesale information.

Our soap dries very hard, which means a longer life for the bar. However, a bar of soap in the shower will get used up more quickly than a bar used strictly for hand washing. For hand washing, a bar can last up to two months. In the shower, the bar will last about 2-3 weeks. To extend the life of your bar of Pacha Soap, keep it out of direct contact with water and let the bar dry between uses.

We handcraft our blends with essential oils and all natural scents. Essential oils can be very powerful and are known to have a multitude of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. It is also good to know that some essential oils, such as cassia, cinnamon, and peppermint, can be irritating to young and sensitive skin. We highly recommend using our simplest, unscented blend, Pacha Nada, for babies and young children. It contains no herbs, spices, or essential oils, and is great for those with more sensitive skin. If you do encounter a reaction to the essential oils, simply rinse with water and discontinue use of that blend. You can also request a sample of our Pacha Nada blend with any pachasoap.com order!
