Why Wonder Mountain Soap?

Over the past several decades, hospitals, nursing homes, gyms, training centers, and other places that require high levels of sanitation, the battle against resistant bacteria continues to grow across the globe. Healthcare workers and athletes have had to compete not only with the competition in front of them, but with competitors they cannot even see. We are now competing against the risk of dangerous infections such as staph aureus and other microbes affecting the skin. Throughout the years, I continue to hear and read horror stories of athletes and hospital patients who have had to deal with debilitating infections such as staph infection. Easily spread among athletes and healthcare workers, skin infections constitute one of the five most common reasons for people to seek medical intervention and are considered the most frequently encountered of all infections. Currently, there are limited preventative measures on the market to help stave off infection.

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, unlike a common Staphylococcus aureus infection, cannot be treated with methicillin-related antibiotics (such as penicillin). The treatment may be longer, expensive, more complicated, and infections can reappear frequently. Originally, MRSA was limited to hospitals and long-term care facilities. But now, it is ubiquitous among athletes and gyms. It is dangerous and can lead to loss of limbs and even death.

Recently, 40-year-old former Olympian, former MMA champion, and former UFC fighter Ben Askren, developed staph infection on his elbow. The infection spread to his lungs. He was put on a ventilator and subsequently received a life-saving double lung transplant.

Wonder Mountain Soap Co. has developed several bars of soap that contain natural ingredients proven to help combat harmful microbes like staph, thus reducing the chance of infection. By combining the right ingredients in the right amounts, we have created an affordable bar of soap that not only can help fight against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, but smells good and moisturizes the skin. Our soap bars can benefit not only healthcare workers and athletes, but just about anyone who doesn't live in a bubble. 

Wonder Mountain Soap is currently the only soap company that has a line of soap with combined natural ingredients proven in the medical literature to demonstrate efficacy comparable to synthetic antiseptics in vivo.
