our mission
To spread compassion, one pretty little bar at a time ♥
Sudsy Love
Our mission here at Suds Me Up, Scotty! is to spread love and compassion through soap—lots and lots of sweet-smelling soap! We're splitting our focus in 2026 to include a large amount of donation work, but will absolutely continue to keep the Suds Me shelves stocked with a selection of our awesome soaps for those who—like us—are hooked on their all-natural goodness! Some of the proceeds we collect from soap sales will go towards the many supplies we need to make and donate our soaps to several shelters that serve the community. For all of the details on why our soaps are as they are, and also the organizations we've chosen to support and why, you can scroll on down this page or visit Melinda's blog post: heart for the win: our mission ♥
compassion
Our soaps support animals.
Our soaps are vegan and so are we—staunchly so—largely for the animals. The original decision to stop eating animals was made in 2007 for both our health and for the sake of the animals, but then we were stupid enough to watch a vegan documentary, the viewing of which haunts Melinda to this day. The ensuing emotional scars firmly tipped the scales in favor of the animals; therefore, we now consider ourselves ethical vegans. We don’t have to eat animals or use their body parts/products to be healthy and happy, so we don’t ♥
We believe all animals deserve our love and respect.
respect
Our soaps support women.
Some of our monthly soap donations are going to Rosie’s Place—a Boston shelter that helps anyone who identifies as a woman. Their mission is to "provide a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity, and find security in their lives." They’re a big supporter of the LGBTQ+ community which is just one of the many reasons why we've chosen to support the work they do. A soap is such a small gesture, but we hope the women they serve can feel the love behind it ♥
We believe that women and the queer community deserve our love and respect.
kindness
Our soaps support immigrants.
A portion of our monthly soap donations will be going to the International Institute of New England, an organization dedicated to the support of immigrants and refugees. To say I’m appalled at the way we’re treating our fellow human beings would be a gross understatement, so this is our small way of supporting their safety and well-being. A soap is such a small gesture, but we hope the people they serve can feel the warmth behind it ♥
We believe immigrants—documented or not—deserve our love and respect.
responsibility
Our soaps support Mother Earth.
Every single one of our all-natural soaps is made with organic ingredients because we live an organic life. We made this choice for our family, the well-being of all mankind, and for our planet; plus, pesticides kill millions of birds every year, so I guess we do this for the animals, too. Not only do we support Mother Earth, but we wholeheartedly support the organic farmers who are doing their part to preserve this gorgeous planet we live on. ♥
We believe Mother Earth deserves our love and respect.
love
Our soaps support the homeless.
Some of our monthly donations will be going to Access Community Health Agency, and they’ll offer our soaps in both their emergency homeless shelter and in their food pantries. They're a local organization whose mission is to "build access to opportunities that empower under-resourced individuals, families, and communities to achieve and sustain economic stability." A soap is such a small gesture, but we hope the people they serve can feel the compassion behind it ♥
We believe that the homeless and those struggling to make ends meet deserve our love and respect.
