VIVO Natural Products was founded in 2007 with the mission of creating fine bar soaps from high quality, natural ingredients, which in turn produce wonderful showering experiences. Each bar of soap we sell is made with 100% pure, unrefined shea butter, which is purchased from a cooperative of women farmers in West Africa. This concept, which we often refer to as "Personal Care. Global Impact." applies to all that we do- it very simply means that we will use nature's best ingredients to make skin nourishing products AND we seek out suppliers for our raw materials in underdeveloped countries- folks that hand prepare ingredients- not large multinational corporations that take natural and turn it into chemical.
