Enjoy the natural pleasure of refreshing cucumber-scented soap.  This soap is handmade by artisans of Palam Rural Centre in Tamil Nadu, India. Palam employs members of the Harijan ("untouchables") caste, and provides health care and schooling for artisan families. All our soaps made in India use palm oil grown on local plantations. This palm oil provides work to local farmers and does not contribute to deforestation.
