Getting Clean didn't start in the boardroom, or even the bathroom... it started in chaos.
Our founder, Chris, was introduced to heroin when he was just 12! Years of addiction, prison and homelessness followed. Then something changed after Chris got referred to Narcotics Anonymous: Chris found recovery and became an award-winning support worker helping others find their way out of addiction.
But he saw a problem: People in recovery weren't being given real opportunities.
So in 2022 he created Getting Clean: Recovering addicts helping each other, through litter-picking, conservation and helping the vulerable. Building pride. Building purpose.
Then came the soap.
It started as a therapeutic activity. As we learned more about soap, we learned more about the dodgy chemicals and realised something powerful. Getting clean isn't just about stopping drugs. It's cleaning up systems. Cleaning up stigma. Cleaning up supply chains full of dodgy chemicals.
So we asked a slightly mad question:
What if soap could fund recovery?
