Welcome to Part 5!

That Red House

That Red House is Australian owned and strives for a sustainable, organic, zero-waste, chemical-free, eco-conscious and healthy way of life for all. They aim to inspire and educate people to reduce their chemical exposure, improve their health and save money by using their affordable products. Their soapberries are grown and harvested by communities in the Himalayas, and the income provided by the sale of the shells supports their way of life while promoting sustainable practices. That Red House takes every precaution to ensure that these growers and harvesters receive fair payment and that their work environment is of a high standard. They also support Open Heart International, which is an Australian charity that provides life-changing surgery to women suffering painful and debilitating pain from uterine prolapse and obstetric fistula. They ship their products to Australia by sea to ensure a low carbon footprint.
