We use a purified form of potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) that has absorbed CO₂ directly from the atmosphere using a non-toxic, solvent-free process. This CO₂ is chemically bound and then integrated into our soap formulation. More info here

1.2 grams of captured CO₂ per soap might sound small, but it’s equivalent to the emissions of about 6 Google searches. Scaling this approach across products and industries is where impact grows. Each bar is a tiny protest against business-as-usual.

No, the captured CO₂ in the soap is chemically transformed into a stable salt. It is no longer in its gas form and cannot be released back into the atmosphere under normal usage. Instead, it remains safely bound within the soap’s solid structure, even as the soap is used and rinsed away.

mynus soap is formulated to reduce environmental impact at every step. We replace part of the traditional lye with potassium carbonate captured directly from the air, helping to store CO₂ instead of emitting it. We also prioritize plant-based oils with a lower environmental footprint and choose organic ingredients whenever possible. This careful selection of materials and processes leads to a soap that is not only effective, but also measurably less impactful than conventional alternatives.

These white marks are a natural result of carbonation, a harmless visual trace of the CO₂-captured ingredient. They are not mold or residue and may vary from bar to bar.

It is still early days for us. We are currently onl producing on demand. After your order, our handmade soaps need at least 2 months to sufficiently cure for shipment. They are safe to use after 3 months.

The higher the demand, the more it is safe for us to scale up production and build up inventory.

Every soap bar counts :-)

Not at all. It isn't even CO₂ anymore. In our
CO₂ capturing process it converts into potassium carbonate which contributes to the luxurious lather and foaminess of our soaps.

Yes, of course, as soon as your order is dispatched.
