Good questions, honest answers.

Safety is our highest priority, and every reclaimed hotel bar passes through a rigorous three-step restoration process before it ever reaches you. We begin by soaking each bar in warm water and hand-emulsifying it with gloved hands, then cure it for a full 24 hours so it hardens completely. The outer surface is carefully scraped away, returning the soap to a like-new state. As a final safeguard, every batch is melted at temperatures exceeding 60°C, more than enough to eliminate any lingering bacteria.

Our model is built around giving back, so 100% of every batch we produce is delivered free of charge to outreach communities across the GTA.

Every bar begins its second life thanks to our sponsors, primarily local hotels, motels, inns, and hostels throughout the GTA, who entrust us with the soap they would otherwise discard.

Any soap can cause irritation or an allergic reaction in some people, and because our bars are handmade from reclaimed soap they may contain essential oils, fragrance, botanicals, or trace ingredients carried over from the original soap. We can't predict how your individual skin will react, so please review the product information and use your own discretion. Stop using the product right away, and seek medical advice if needed, should you notice any redness, itching, rash, or irritation. Keep soap out of the eyes and away from broken skin. Relavco is not responsible for allergic reactions or skin irritation, please see our Terms of Service for full details.

We welcome partnerships with any GTA-based organization dedicated to non-profit or not-for-profit community engagement and aid, and all are eligible to receive our soap bars. To get started, simply reach out through our contact form and our team will be in touch.

Absolutely, any business looking to join the initiative is invited to connect with us through our contact form. Once a partnership is established, your business will be proudly featured as a sponsor on our website.

Not currently. We operate by donating our soap directly to those in need, but we are not a registered non-profit or charity at this time.

We're always growing, and while a formal volunteer sign-up isn't available just yet, we'd love to hear from anyone willing to help with the transportation and pickup of soap bars. Reach out through our contact form to register your interest, and keep an eye out for new opportunities on the horizon.
