ALTR creates hand-made bar soap with local, wildcrafted botanicals. They seek to change popular soap culture (i.e., alter) by offering products that showcase only local southern Ontario plants, and, in this way, elevate (i.e., put on an altar) the seemingly mundane task of washing oneself into a ritual reconnection to the land that sustains us. All of the main botanical elements are wildcrafted by owners Amina and Joe, from local wild areas and are then brewed into a nourishing infusion that acts as a base for each bar. ALTR soap is plastic-free, 100% natural, made with organic ingredients, palm oil free and vegan. They make each product with great care and hope that their soap will inspire people to take care of themselves and reincorporate the natural world back into their daily rituals!
