How it Started In the heart of San Luis Obispo, often hailed as "the happiest place on earth," our story began. Charlie started his studies at Cal Poly, with a shared passion in their Product Design and Development class. He posed a pivotal question: "Why don't we have eco-friendly products that outperform their plastic counterparts?" Dissatisfied with existing solutions, we set out to redefine eco-friendly personal care. We scrutinized plastic bottles and traditional soap bars, recognizing that while bars were eco-friendly, they often fell short in user experience. After countless brainstorming and prototypes, inspiration struck. The idea of a smart beeswax shell emerged – a game-changing concept that would elevate the humble soap bar into a superior, eco-conscious product.Read their story
