Edible soap aims to highlight hygiene poverty

A beans have been introduced on toast flavored adible soap to increase awareness about elections to face some families between buying food and hygiene products.

Goodwash company, Barry, and Cleanliness Bank Charity has produced Britain’s first food soap As part of a campaign to highlight hygiene poverty and call for VAT on hygiene products.

According to research conducted by YouGov by the Cleanliness Bank, the UK was found to have hygiene poverty to influence an estimated 4.2 million adults in the last year.

Currently, SOAP and other essential hygiene products are subject to 20% VAT rates, considering them as non-necessary objects.

Hygiene Bank has launched a petition to change the tax around it.

Treasury has been approached for comment.

Talk to BBC Radio WalesMandy Powell, CEO and co-founder of Skin Care Brand The Goodwash Company said he felt that she would basically make a breakfast bar with oats and seaweed as a thing about cleanliness poverty.

“I went back to him with this idea and he said, no, we want a proper evening meal bar, something like beans or chicken tikka masala on the toast,” he said.

“So I am back into the team and I said that it was basically thought that it was going to be a bit more difficult. But here we are 12 months later and we have found beans on toast soap.”

The soap is tasty to taste like beans on the toast, and it is made from Kakao butter, organic oat flour, avocado oil and paprika -with beans and toast flaving.

It is also possible to buy a virtual version of soap for £ 15 on the Goodwash Company website, which is the average cost of soap more than one year according to the cleanliness bank.

All benefits from the sale of food soap go directly to the cleanliness bank.

“It’s quite fun, but there is a serious message behind it,” said Ms. Powell.

Speaking about the campaign to cut VAT on hygiene products, Hygiene Bank CEO Ruth Brock stated that soap was a requirement, “not a luxury”.

He said, “This campaign is more than only VAT reform – it is about recognizing cleanliness as a fundamental right,” he said.

Soap has also caught the attention of Michelin Star Chefs in London where they are adding shaving to food.

Ms. Powell said, “There are about eight or ten Michelin star chefs in London who requested soap bar.”

He said that chefs are adding it to their cuisine or include it on their restaurant menu to raise awareness about the campaign, call it “amazing”.

One such chef, the owner of the Mefair Restaurant Applicity, is Chantle Nicolson, who has combined soap with mushrooms and wild garlic.
