Why We Need to Care About Our Planet – And What Stench is Doing About It

Let’s be real—most of us don’t think about the planet when we’re scrubbing off a hard day’s work in the shower. But maybe we should. Every product we use, every choice we make, and every habit we build has an impact on the world around us. At Stench, we believe that real men (and women) clean up after themselves—and that includes cleaning up our act when it comes to the environment.

The Problem: A Planet in Peril

We get it—saving the planet sounds like a big task, but the reality is, we’re running out of time to ignore the damage being done. Deforestation, pollution, and plastic waste are wreaking havoc on ecosystems, and the hygiene industry is no exception. Most commercial soaps are loaded with harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances. And let’s not forget all that plastic packaging clogging up landfills and oceans.

Why Should You Care?

Let’s break it down:

• You breathe the air, drink the water, and eat the food this planet provides. If we trash it, we’re only hurting ourselves.

• Your skin is your largest organ. Do you really want to rub questionable chemicals all over it every day?

• Plastic waste is out of control. A single-use plastic bottle can take over 450 years to break down.

What Stench is Doing About It

We know that small changes can make a big impact. That’s why Stench is committed to sustainability in everything we do:

• Biodegradable Ingredients. No weird chemicals. No artificial nonsense. Just natural, skin-loving ingredients that won’t pollute our waterways.

• Minimal & Recyclable Packaging. We’re not about fancy plastic bottles and wasteful wrapping. Our packaging is simple, recyclable, and designed with sustainability in mind.

• Handmade, Small-Batch Production. Mass production = mass waste. We keep things small-scale to ensure quality while reducing excess waste.

How You Can Help

Caring about the planet doesn’t mean you have to go off the grid and live in a treehouse (unless that’s your thing). Here are a few simple steps to make a difference:
✔ Ditch the plastic. Choose bar soap over body wash in plastic bottles.
✔ Support sustainable brands. Buy from companies that prioritize eco-friendly ingredients and packaging.
✔ Use less water. Shorter showers = less waste. Bonus: it saves you money too.
✔ Recycle & reduce waste. Be mindful of what you toss in the trash.
✔ Spread the word. The more people who care, the bigger the impact.

Final Thoughts

At Stench, we’re not here to preach—we’re here to make damn good soap that doesn’t wreck the planet. If you want to smell fresh while keeping things clean (literally and figuratively), you’re in the right place. Let’s clean up our act together—one bar at a time.
