FIRST USDA APPROVED, CERTIFIED ORGANIC SOAP FOAMER

Vermont Soap Revolutionizes the World of Clean

Middlebury, Vermont (January 12, 2006) - Lathering up with healthy organic soap has never been this easy. The new Lemongrass Zen Foaming Hand Soap is the latest in a long string of organic and natural soap breakthroughs by Vermont Soapworks and their Vermont SoapOrganics line. A quick pump of the convenient new "foamer" device aerates organic liquid castile soap into a frothy handful of foam. Air is the only propellant gas used in the process. Founded in 1992, Vermont Soap's innovations include the first USDA Approved, Certified Organic bath & shower gel, pet wash, spray cleaner, multipurpose concentrated cleaner and yoga/exercise mat cleaner.

You will love the soft vegetable oil soap feel and creamy lather of this convenient foamer. The uplifting fresh scent is quite remarkable. "Lemongrass Zen contains only pure essential oils that provide aromatherapy benefits for the mind and kill germs on the skin," says founder and President Larry Plesent. As an organic castile liquid soap based product, Lemongrass Zen Foaming Hand Soap is guaranteed free of the synthetic ingredients found in mass-marketed foamers".

A handy refill bottle is scheduled for release in 2006.

Larry Plesent started Vermont Soap in 1992 after experiencing severe skin problems from detergents used by his window washing company. He began researching healthy alternatives for himself and the many people like him that are sensitive to detergents and synthetic ingredients. The company has grown from a two person operation in 1992, and is currently the largest manufacturer of handmade organic bar soap in North America, selling products in more than 2,500 stores nationwide. Vermont Soapworks also operates a Discount Factory Outlet Store that features an Antique Soap Museum, factory tours and demonstrations. Vermont Soapworks' manufacturing operation was among the first to be certified as a USDA organic processing facility specializing in topical products.
