Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, there has been a significant rise in the consumption of cleaning and disinfection products, with savvy consumers closely examining ingredients in the items they use daily. Due to a range of concerns, from safety to health and allergies, people have begun to choose products made with natural ingredients rather than those produced with chemicals.
This change in consumer behaviour brought opportunity to Dai Fan Soap, a cold soap manufacturer and retailer founded in 2022. “Our brand originates from a mother’s idea of caring about the wellness of her family. To ensure the health of our customers and their families, we make all our products with pure and natural high-quality ingredients,” said Co-founder Ting Ting Lo.
Contrary to the fast-paced times in which we live, the company is committed to pursuing a simple and slow-paced lifestyle with a focus on conserving the environment and supporting sustainability.
“Regular soap contains chemicals and is made with synthetic formulas that are difficult to biodegrade. Wastewater with toxins flow into water bodies, which are in turn absorbed by plants and animals, some of which become the food we eat,” Lo explained. “Our brand insists on not adding any artificial ingredients to our products. The soapy water produced after washing is fully biodegradable, causing no harm to our environment, and can even be used to water plants.”
Apart from supporting sustainability, the company also actively contributes to the community. “By donating products and cooperating with social welfare groups regularly, we hope to share our success and happiness with those in need,” Lo said.
Looking to the future, Dai Fan Soap will put further focus on its sustainable operations and development.
“We strive to promote zero-waste and package-free shopping. For instance, our soaps are wrapped in non-dyed, non-bleached bamboo cloths, which absorb humidity and keep the soap dry. When the soap is unwrapped, the cloths can be used as a dish cloth or as a furniture wipe,” said Lo. “To reduce the use of plastic, our gift boxes are made of wood despite the higher cost.”
“We also hope to introduce our core values and vision to local and international communities,” Lo added. “That’s why we joined HKGCC – we believe the Chamber’s diverse network can help us expand our business circle and gain more exposure in the community.”
