The Science Behind EcoLumo Soap
Most liquid soaps and ALL bar soaps are sodium-based, which can lead to a buildup of salt in the soil over time when used in grey water for garden irrigation. So you might be unintentionally watering your garden with salty water!
In contrast, we make our soap with potassium which optimises your grey water; the potassium acts as a nutrient rather than a contaminant when the soap breaks down in your garden.
Potassium can enhance drought resistance, strengthen cell walls, and help resist diseases in plants. It's vital for various plant functions, including nutrient and water movement, protein synthesis, and overall growth.
Your garden and soil deserve the best grey water possible!
We pride ourselves on using locally sourced Australian extra virgin olive oil in our soap.
By sourcing locally, we significantly reduce plastic waste associated with production and lower shipping emissions, all while supporting our local economy.
About EcoLumo
I'm Kati and I'm from the Artic Circle in Finland. I put a bit of Finland into naming my soap: the word 'Lumo' is Finnish for 'Charm & Enchantment' . I find nature everywhere in the world to have a special magical charm so I found it nice to bring a bit of that whimsical spirit into my Australian product.
After a decade of making soap for my personal use I'm excited to have created something that I think is beneficial to grey water irrigation systems. I'm proud that the ingredients are local as well as good for both you and your garden.
