The Be Kind Process: plant to oil to biodiesel to glycerin soap


The Kind Process: plant to oil to biodiesel to glycerin to Be Kind soaps

bio goes in vehics (no we can't sell biodiesel)
.....40 hrs later some glycerin is refined......



WARHORSE Multipurpose Cleaning Soap and Primitive Body Gel Soap


Yes, our soaps are made from recycled vegetable oil. All true soaps are either made from vegetable or animal oils and fat. Here at Be Kind, we use a truly sustainable process that turns recycled vegetable oil into soap through the saponification process: oil + lye + H2O = soap.

Therefore, when you use WARHORSE or Be Kind Soaps, you are not cleaning your boat, shower, windows, garbage cans, floors, cabinets, stainless steel, leather, vehicle, skin with grease. The oils have been converted to a glycerin-rich, non-toxic soap. In addition to our simple ingredients, we have the ability to create a glycerin-rich product since our biodiesel production produces a lot of glycerin.

Here at Be Kind, we distill and refine our glycerin and leave it in our products. Our glycerin and our refining process have been repeatedly tested by Barrow-Agee, a USDA and FDA inspected lab. I am proud to announce that Be Kind's glycerin is a safe product.

WARHORSE Cleaning Soap has approx. 40% glycerin. Our Brown Mule Glycerin Leather Cleaning Soap and our Ugly Brown Glycerin Bar Soap have approx. 80% glycerin. The remaining ingredients are soap, water, and maybe some essential oil. Yes, simple, effective ingredients. No sulfates, phosphates, or synthetic chemicals are added to lower PH levels. If necessary, we use apple cider vinegar to lower the PH after the saponification process. All natural soaps have a PH from 9-10.5.

Be Kind will continue its "free soap" philosophy by donating WARHORSE to non-profits and local businesses as a "thank you" for their used vegetable oil. Also, we will continue to host school science, agriculture science, 4-H Summer Science Camp, senior graduation projects, and college students at our shop.
