K. Dee Howard, Co-Founder of Sootsoap Supply Co. Awarded Visa She’s Next Grant
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) July 13, 2023 -- SOOTSOAP Supply Co. (Sootsoap) is excited to share that Co-Founder, K. Dee Howard, is one of 10 winning recipients of the Visa Canada She’s Next Grant Program, which supports women-owned small businesses in Canada.
Developed in 2018, SOOTSOAP is an all-natural line of personal decontamination products formulated with the power of Binchotan white charcoal to detoxify and deodorize skin and hair. As the wife of a firefighter, Dee is focused on developing decontamination products for firefighters and others like her husband who are exposed to carcinogens, toxins, harmful pollutants, and strong odours carried in soot, smoke and gear, and absorbed by skin and hair every day on the job.
Since its debut, SOOTSOAP has emerged as the number one, all-natural lab-developed formula proven to remove 88% of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) — a group of Cancer-causing toxins present in soot and smoke, metal production, automotive repair and maintenance, oil and gas, construction, and a variety of other occupations and hobbies across North America.
As a proud recipient of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program, Sootsoap will continue to strategically grow the business and to further develop its product line. “It’s incredible to be recognized with this grant and to be the recipient of the mentorship and support that will help propel Sootsoap’s future success,” says K. Dee Howard. “This opportunity to connect with other women in business and to utilize Visa Canada’s unique program to foster each other's efforts to make meaningful impacts within the industries we serve, is invaluable.”
As we witness recent waves of forest and industrial fires across Canada, the importance of making such impacts becomes even more relevant. Now more than ever, firefighters and Canadians across the country are learning about the dangers of short-term and long-term exposure to harmful air pollutants and toxins. Sootsoap is proud to offer an all-natural, efficacious solution to mitigate exposure and protect the well-being of Canadians across the country.
