Vermont Soap

Family-run organic castile and bar soap from Vermont since 1992.

Our take

Why We Trust This Brand

Vermont Soap is still its own company after more than 30 years, with no corporate parent and no private-equity owner, and it backs its claims with real third-party certifications. When most bars in a line carry USDA Organic certification and the company has stood behind Leaping Bunny for years, the clean-living story holds up.

What's inside

Ingredients & Safety

These are true soaps made from saponified organic plant oils, not detergent bars dressed up as natural. You get olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and aloe doing the work, and the unscented options skip essential oils entirely. No SLS, no parabens, no synthetic fragrance.

Certifications

USDA Organic (most bars) Leaping Bunny (Cruelty-Free)

We read every line on this label. Nothing here is on our watch or caution list — no synthetic fragrance, no flagged chemicals.

Who owns it

Ownership & Independence

Larry Plesent founded Vermont Soap in 1992 and ran it for decades before stepping down as CEO. The company stayed independent and privately held through that handoff, with company veteran Nichole Faulkner taking over as CEO. We found no record of any acquisition or outside majority owner.
