Shine Among Them-A Redemptive Soap Business

“Shine Among Them” is an organic soap company that is run out of Greensburg, PA. I am friends with the owner and have had the pleasure to try some of the products myself. The main goal of the company is to provide cleansing soap without all of the junk that is in main brands. The company website specifically states that the soap “won’t pollute you with detergents, artificial fragrances, or colors.” As you can see, one of the main focuses of the company is natural health and wellness. Another emphasis of the company is spiritual. On the home page of the website is the Bible verse Philippians 2:15: “Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.” (This is where the company got it’s name). On the “about” page of the website, the owner talks about her journey and why she began making soap. She explains that it was because of health problems and skin sensitivities in the family and makes a point to note that she is willing to make special orders to accommodate others with different needs.

The emphasis on Christianity as the base for the business as well as being accommodating is a great way of showing redemptive entrepreneurship, but the business owner was able to continue serving the kingdom through her business when she recently went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. There, she was able to work with local women and taught them how to make soap-and how to sell it. She made genuine connections there and was able to serve God with what He gave to her.

P.S. She sells more than just soap bars, so if you would like to check out the business and some products, here is the link: Shine Among Them – Gently cleansing, natural, earth-friendly products to help you shine.
