WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING.
To Joshua, Heather, Laurence, and all who make Pangea what it is:
At the age of 40, I spontaneously developed hand eczema. For any of you out there who has had eczema or know someone who has had it, it is an absolute miserable existence. There are many forms. I had little bumps that itched fiercely. The skin on my hands was basically eaten away. To give you a better idea, all the lifelines that a palm reader reads were gone, and there were little small round blister-like scars. It was so itchy and painful that it kept me up at night.
I first bought your soap because I have been into organics for over 20 years, and I believe in supporting organic products. I also liked the simplicity of the packaging. But, really, I didn't know what I was in for! Immediately, I felt the soothing effect of the soap. It didn't leave the sting of other natural and organic brands I had been using. Within a few months, I began to notice relief and healing in my hands. Today, the itch is gone and the skin has regenerated in such a way that the life lines are back, and one would never be able to see what once was.
At the time of healing, my skin was still sensitive to things I touched that would make them sting and itch. But I found that washing my hands often with your soap left a protective healing film that was very soothing. Since my discovery of Pangea, I carry bars around with me in my car and hand them out to anyone I come across in my daily travels who also have a skin condition, or to people with high standards of organics who will appreciate your product and your path.
I have also put in the mail a check for you to cover costs so anyone reading this with a skin condition who would like to try your soap can try a bar for free. Prognosis for eczema is not promising. Basically, you are told you just have to live with it. But, I thank all of you with the deepest of gratitude for creating a product that has so changed my life. And, on a grander scale, thank you all for the contributions you are making to make the world a better place.

Hello,
I love all of your products and use just about every one that you make. I was wondering if you are ever going to make any shampoo, toothpaste, deodorants and things like that. I love your products because out of everything else I have seen out there, you make the most pure and organic products. I would love to buy everything I need in my house from you if I could. I would just like to know your plans for more products!
Thank you very much!!!

Hi Laurence, Heather and Tyler,
I just wanted to thank you for the fabulous tour last week. I must say that I am very inspired and impressed to hear all that Pangea is doing and working towards. Your facility impressed me as a warm, creative place that is really working hard to change the environment and people's thinking in really positive ways...all the while keeping the masses clean. I commend you all on your hard work! I know I speak for all of us in saying thank you for taking the time to go out of the way to show us around, we all really enjoyed our time spent with you all. Please, feel free to stop by anytime and say hi.
Thanks and keep in touch,

Josh,
I asked Santa to get me the pangea goji berry - acai mask for christmas. Well he did and I couldn't wait until christmas to open it (but don't tell him) and I must say that this mask is pure perfection! It's everything that you could ever want for beautiful skin and I love it! It feels wonderful and I must say that I am glowing after just one use. I can't wait for next week when I get to use it again. What would I do without pangea? I'm totally serious. I love your stuff, finally my skin is healthy.
Merry Christmas,
Kristin

I discovered Pangea Organics just last week when I was looking at every brand in the
store to find organic lotion without Parabens. Mission accomplished. Pangea Organics
lotion is wonderful. Thank you.

My boyfriend and I have been using your wonderful product for almost one month now and
we can't believe the results we have experienced! My boyfriend loved it the first day
he used it and later was surprised that he had not had a single pimple since using it
(he has very oily, acne-prone skin). I am in my young twenties but I have dry, fine-line
prone skin and have seen a huge reduction in my pores and and fine lines, since my face
is less "thirsty". With consistent use, I think I will be able to preserve my youth. I
don't think I will ever use another skincare product as long as I live. I am glad that
there is a product out there that is as good for my skin as it is for our planet.

Hi there,
I've never in my life written to a company to thank them for what they do, but here I am doing just that - not like you need another testimonial, you definitely have plenty, but everyone likes to be appreciated, and I'd just like to share my appreciation.
I have searched high and low for a product that would heal my acne-prone skin, including trying almost every medical remedy the dermatologist has at his disposal. To make matters worse, I care deeply about lessening my footprint on the earth, and finding a truly natural and organic product without synthetics or petro-chemicals was even more impossible than healing my acne! In the process I tried almost every product on the shelves of health food stores (including the ones that were way to expensive for my price range), until I finally found you guys. I love what I've found so far - my acne has not miraculously healed, but it has lessened, and I love the way my skin feels. It's also more affordable than other "organic" brands!
The real reason I'm writing though is something that's even more amazing to me: my boyfriend has actually become a Pangea convert. Prior to my "discovery" of Pangea, he was always supportive of my use of organic products, but never really cared himself. But he also has extremely dry and sensitive skin, reacts to everything, and has occasional mild outbreaks of psoriasis; I always thought natural products might help, but of course, he wasn't too interested. Finally, I bought him the "Canadian White Sage and Pine" body wash because he commented once on how much he liked the smell of pine. He loved it. He loved the scent, and even noticed how concentrated it is! After we ran out last week, he went back to his old soap and came out of the shower complaining that he didn't like the synthetic scent; for the next day, he kept mentioning how "dry and stripped" his skin felt and asking me when we could get some more Pangea!! This, to me, is the sign of how great your products are - someone who was never inclined to buy natural or organic has been converted.
It is so refreshing to find a company with the same philosophies as me - please don't ever sell out to anyone, and never stop making your wonderful products!! Thanks for everything you do!
Yours,
Caitlin Fisher

I wish all of my products could be Pangea! You make such luxurious and effective products
that do not have any harmful ingredients. It is next to impossible to find personal
care products that don't have harmful chemicals in them, and Pangea is one of only a
handful of companies that has high quality, 100% healthy products.
Thank you!

Hello and thanks SO much for shipping the outstanding face cream I had originally ordered.
I am very fair and have "the world's most sensitive skin". Most products flat-out make
things worse, and I am prone to blotching and sensitive-red areas. I have used this
cream (French Chamomile & Orange Blossom) 2x a day since it arrived, and I am convinced
it has already "soothed" my skin! IT smells lucious but has an almost immediate "calming
effect" and belive me, I have tried them all. Your products are just such high quality
and they "do exactly what you say!" :) I am already a fan and am sharing the site with
everyone I know!
Thanks again and best,
Ruthann Jagge
PS - I seldom write to a company unless I'm totally impressed! Your customer service and products are a "well kept secret" that beauty aficionados need to know about! I am also impressed with your philosophy and the way you do biz, a rare treat in today's climate!

I have come to realize that I continually search high and low for health/body care
products that fit my most basic needs. After many years of searching and using products
that were ALMOST organic, I have found one brand, Pangea Organics, which may stand
the test of time. I've been using the brand for a couple of months now, and am extremely
satisfied with my current choice, not to mention that I purchased one of every bar
soap, lotion and liquid hand soap that was available directly from your site.

Dear super cool Pangea people,
The new issue of *soap box* was very informative. I was sad to see that some of my favorite soaps hadn't made the cut in the new line, but lo and behold, there they are! And I can compost the box? *Fantastic*! Your soap is one of the few luxuries that I allow myself while saving for a home. No matter how tight the purse strings get, I will always be a loyal customer... and I have never said that about a product or a company...ever. What you stand for means everything to me and the fact that you make a darn good smelling soap is the icing on the cake!
Thank you for being,
Kara :)

For years I had a rash-like condition on my chest, and I tried all sorts of treatments,
from prescription drugs to a vegan diet to honey. I started using Pangea soap almost
three years ago, and a couple months after starting to use it, my skin started clearing
up, and I haven't had a problem since!

I am impressed. The shower gel is incredibly smooth and gentle. It cleans without leaving
my skin feeling stripped or dry. And no unpleasant side effects. Thanks for designing
such a great product!

Hello Joshua again,
It is me again! I forgot to mention a few more things on why I LOVE your liquid soap ( especially the shower gel): Your liquid soap has been the only one I have discovered that does not cause the fingers to crack, pain and bleed. And the only one that does not make my body itch to the point of madness, especially around the dry winter season.
Your liquid soap was the only one that made urine and accidental diarrhea odor disappear like a snap when used exclusively for 2 years to clean the body of an elderly good friend I cared for. I used adult briefs on him at nighttime only. His skin was as soft and healthy as a baby's. This speaks for both the antibacterial qualities of your soap, and the gentleness qualities of its natural ingredients on the skin, successively.
And using your shower gel as shampoo is doing wonders to my hair since I started using it about three weeks ago. My hair is full, soft and smells aromatherapeutic!
What more can I say about your liquid soaps?! Just marvelous!
Peace to you Joshua, Ms. Hafidha Mechentel
