    Ivan Župa created World Handshake Day after an old man said to him, “My son, place your hand here in the sea and you are united with the whole world.”

    Seattle-based Soaplandia makes 100% natural and eco-friendly soaps that contain no artificial ingredients. Tailored to help many different skin types, Soaplandia comes in numrous variations. The soaps are also sorted by ingredient, scent, and effect.
