About Us Zozca - A bright star in the Leo Constellation. A name created to show that no matter how large we may become, we are but minute in the grand design of it all. For that reason, we are a green company in that we use only minimal or recycled packaging. We are only on this earth for such a short time that we should be good stewards on it while we are here. We use only essential, natural and organic oils and only those of the highest quality will do. Our lotions are paraben, formaldehyde and propylene glycol free. As of this writing there isn't a natural preservative out there that has been safely tested against all bacteria and microbes. For this reason, we do use a safe,synthetic preservative system. What makes us different is that we use minimal packaging. Our soaps are sent to you almost naked. They are wrapped with a hemp cord that holds a card printed on handmade, eco-friendly paper. That is it. The paper that we use is made from a bark that naturally peeled from the trunk of a broad leafed tree in the mountains of Burma. A Hill Tribe discovered this remarkable bark and have been perfecting their craft in Northern Thailand for the past 100 years. This process of cutting the branches causes the tree to flourish and produce more bark. As a result, no trees are destroyed during this procedure. This has helped villagers find a source of income and help to save beautiful mountain trees. This is an environmentally sustainable process. All care is taken to ensure that the harvesting of materials is ecologocially sustainable and that the production process causes no damage to the environment. The hemp cord is in one piece so that you may reuse it to add beads to make a bracelet, wear it as an anklet, etc. You may recycle the card with other paper to make more handmade paper. Our lotions are packaged in 100% post consumer recycled bottles. Once you are done with our bottles, please recycle them either by cleaning them out and using them yourself, or by bringing them to the nearest recycling center. We are a Texas based company and have been making our soaps and lotions from scratch since 1998. We hope you enjoy your stay at Zozca!
