MATTER INC is
a design & consulting studio based in New Orleans, uniquely
focused on raising awareness & funding initiatives that advance social
change. A portion of all proceeds flow to causes that impact the health, happiness, & sustainability of communities around the world. With the BIRDPROJECT they
have created a bird-shaped soap to help fund the cleanup of the BP
Oil spill. Each soap contains a ceramic bird made from Louisiana Clay,
which remains as a keepsake.
The use of natural Glycerin - a biodiesel by-product - helps raise awareness of green
energy initiatives while emphasizing smart usage of waste. Handmade in New Orleans from natural, locally sourced ingredients
that are wonderful for your skin. Through the
daily act of washing, eventually the clean, white, ceramic bird is freed from
inside, revealing a potent symbol of restoration and recovery. A powerful symbol of all creatures affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
