Soapbox is a buy one give one personal care company that empowers consumers to change the world through everyday, quality purchases. For every product sold, Soapbox donates a bar of soap to someone in need, (either here in the U.S.A. or abroad) and these donations are often paired with hygiene education. To date, over 3 million donations have been made. Soapbox practices sustainable giving by working with local soap makers in the communities it serves when possible. With the purpose to do as much good as possible, Soapbox partners with nonprofits that share this same vision. Partnerships not only provide soap to the communities in need but also support hygiene education, hygiene research and job opportunities.

Their naturally derived luxe personal care line includes hair color safe shampoo and conditioner, and nourishing body wash, liquid hand soap, bar soap, lotions and bath bombs. All products are vegan, paraben free, cruelty-free, EDTA free, silicone free and artificial colorant free. The benefit ingredients included in Soapbox's products offers hair and personal care that makes you look great, feel great and smell great. Soapbox products are made in the USA and sold in Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Amazon and many other chain stores across the United States.

Impact Area Scoresinfo_outline

info_outlineOverall B Impact Score

To certify as a B Corp, a company must achieve a minimum verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment. The B Impact Assessment asks questions about how the day-to-day operations of a company create positive impact for the company’s workers, community, and environment. Additionally, companies can earn further points if their overall business model can be shown to create positive social and environmental impact as well, qualifying the company for specific Impact Business Model points.

Scores for Certified B Corporations are verified by the non-profit B Lab.

info_outlineImpact Area Scores

The questions in the B Impact Assessment are organized into five Impact Areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. Click into a Impact Area to see topics covered in each. Topics in blue are Impact Business Models associated with that Impact Area where the company has earned additional credit. Due to rounding, displayed totals may not add up exactly.

The B Impact Assessment is customized to a company's size, sector, and geographic market.  However, within those parameters, there are still questions included in the B Impact Assessment that might not be relevant to a particular company. In cases where a question is not applicable, the potential points available for that question are instead earned based on the performance of the company on the other topics relevant to the stakeholder and summed up as "N/A points." Likewise, a score of N/A for Workers means that the company is a sole proprietor or partnership with no full-time staff, and a score of 0 or N/A for Customers means that the company does not have a specific Customer-focused Impact Business Model.

info_outlineBest for the World Honoree

Each year, B Lab releases lists honoring the top-performing Certified B Corps in each Impact Area and overall, broken down by size, on the annual Best for the World lists.

info_outlineAdditional Documentation

B Lab may determine that a company should make additional material beyond their B Impact Report transparent in order for the public to be able to evaluate the company’s overall impact. This additional transparency may cover participation in a controversial industry, information shared on the company’s Disclosure Questionnaire, or simply a company’s relationship to a larger complex entity. Public companies and wholly-owned subsidiaries are required to make their full B Impact Assessments transparent to achieve B Corp Certification.
