Belize's Best All Natural Soap with Healing Qualities

Belize is known for many wonderful things and we travelled to San Ignacio in the Cayo District of Belize to find a home based operation that has made ripples in the natural healing, skin beauty, skin health and skin care product world. We would like to introduce you to a soap that we have tried and tested and are happy to report that we do not think we will use any other soap other than the "Rubba Dub Soap". After using this soap we felt relaxed, refreshed and clean.

Rubba Dub Soap Company in Belize was founded in 1998 by a local Belizean entrepreneur, Lidie Allen, who has made this family operation and home based business a nationwide phenomenon. Rubba Dub Soap Company is now exporting their all natural hand made soaps internationally to resorts and individuals who enjoy their natural healing abilities. When asked why she created the company to create all natural soaps she will be glad to tell you that she has met many people who have battled skin conditions like herself. In trying to cure her skin condition and help other people she was keen on creating an all natural soap with all Belize's natural products that had healing qualities. Lidie's husband, Edward Allen, urged her to create the first soaps and helped her to procure the natural ingredients that were necessary. She gave the soaps as gifts to people and finding that the soaps not only helped her with her skin condition but also helped other people, she decided to make it on a larger scale so that others may enjoy their healing abilities. Today during the week you can find Lidie Allen with her sisters Iliana Moreno and Gloria Fearnow busy at work emulsifying oils and creating these one of a kind healing soaps at their home base in the hills of the Cahal Pech area of San Ignacio Town. How fitting it is that the Mayas were the first to use natural ingredients with healing properties.

Rubba Dub Soap Company's handmade/handcrafted natural healing and beauty soaps are specially formulated to deliver the very best in skin care while using 100% safe and truly natural ingredients that are carefully chosen for their many benefits to include moisturizing, cleansing and soothing capabilities. Some of those ingredients include Cohune, Coconut and Olive oils as well as other essential oils, fragrance oils, herbs, spices and other natural ingredients which remain a secret for infringement purposes. Rubba Dub Soaps make all of their handmade soaps in small batches to ensure the quality of each batch. They hand stir, hand cut and hand wrap every bar. They even make their own wrappers. Every bar of soap is given a long cure period so that when it is finally cured the bar is mild and ready to use. What is amazing is that Rubba Dub ensures that all their soaps remain all natural not using any harmful synthetic chemicals, animal by-product/animal fat, artificial dyes, preservatives, synthetic fragrance oils or detergents.

Many entrepreneurial soap companies in Belize have gone to leaps and bounds to try and copy their secret ingredients but none have come close to matching it. Many of these companies use a natural base but still add synthetic ingredients while still calling it a 'natural' soap. Most commercial soaps on the market today are harsh, dry out and irritate your skin with prolonged use and nearly all skin and body care products are laden with synthetic chemicals we would all be better off not putting on our skin every day.

Rubba Dub Soap Company's natural soaps and healing abilities are:

Cinnamon Spice - A mild astringent, antibacterial, great for oily skin and for acne. After a hard day of work, it carries cinnamon essential oil as well as orange. Makes you smell clean all day long.

Many hotels and resorts in Belize are proudly featuring Rubba Dub soaps. They are not only offering the scents of Belize but also getting guests to relax and truly enjoy their Belizean Experience. The guests of such hotels and resorts have taken soaps back to their native countries to always remind them of their experience in Belize whenever they take a shower or bath and relax using the soothing scents and healing soaps. It's truly an experience worth having that will not only leave your skin feeling clean and healthy but also soft and smooth. If you have not tried a Rubba Dub soap yet you should make every effort to do so. We will never use another commercially produced soap bar again after having tried Rubba Dub Soaps.

Life in Belize

For many years Belize has gone under the shadows of many other Central American countries. Belize has it unique features that famous celebrities have come to appreciate. You need to understand the geography, history, the people, the economy and the atmosphere to truly appreciate this inspiring place called Belize.

Geography

Belize is positioned in both the northern and western hemisphere. Located in North America on the northern edge of the Central America isthmus 16º 13' N, 88º 48' W - a somewhat narrow strip of land that connects North and South America - the country is bordered by Guatemala, Mexico, the Gulf of Honduras and the Caribbean Sea. Belize is the 23rd country on the list according to world atlas for the lowest density of people to land per square mile. With 240 miles of coastline, 8,805 square miles of land and 62 square miles of water rights it’s easy to see why people are flocking to Belize to call it home.

Belize's diverse landscapes include hundreds of islands, subtropical rainforests, fertile savannas and mountains. It is internationally recognized as a leader in environmental preservation and conservation.

Belize is divided into four main geographic regions, including the relatively low Maya Mountains of the south that dominate all but the narrow coastal plain; the northern lowlands and its many rivers and streams; the flat and swampy coastal plain, and the almost countless cayes, islands and lagoons that fringe its Caribbean coastline. More than 50% of Belize is covered by tropical rain forest that's dissected by a network of rivers, mostly small in length. The largest and most significant river is the navigable Belize River that stretches from the Guatemala border all the way to the Caribbean Sea. Second only in size to the Great Barrier Reef off the northeast coastline of Australia, a 175 mile long barrier reef fronts the Belize coastline, intermixed with literally hundreds of islands and cayes. This great site has been recognized as a World Heritage Site, the other site is located 58 miles direct east of Belize City in the Carribean Sea, the Blue Hole; more than 1,000 feet across and some 400 feet deep, it's the opening to a former Ice Age cave, and is today one of the world's most popular dive sites. Belize is divided into six districts; including Belize, Cayo, Corozal, Orange Walk, Stann Creek and Toledo.

History

Archaeological evidence in Belize indicates that the famed Maya culture began to emerge in this lowland area of the Yucatan Peninsula around 1000 BC. That Maya civilization flourished here for eons; great cities were formed, massive ceremonial buildings, palaces, temples and personal dwellings were constructed, and the people farmed the land with great proficiency. Remnants of this extraordinary people and a quite sizeable population of direct descendants still exist in Belize and all across the Yucatan today, despite hundreds of years of European colonization of the area.

Spain aggressively controlled most of the colonies on the fringes of this New World, when the first English settlers arrived in the early 1600s. For the next two centuries military conflicts (mostly naval) between the British and Spanish raged, as both countries desired this land. Regional power struggles continued in the area over the next 50 years, and then in 1862, the Settlement of Belize was officially declared a British colony, and named British Honduras. Similar to all European colonies in the Americas, British Honduras also craved independence, but Guatemala continued to claim the entire area, and the British were reluctant to release their firm grip. By the 1960s the British began to soften their position, and though they still controlled the entire defense and foreign affair of the settlement, its name was changed to Belize in anticipation of the independence, which finally did come in 1981.

The People

Today you can see the remnants of the original settlers in Belize namely the Maya, British and European people. Today Belize offers a multi-cultural society made up of Creole, Mestizo, East Indian, Chinese, Arabs, Garifuna, Maya, and Mennonites just to name a few. Belize is a country rich in Culture and rooted in beliefs of working together for a strong economy. The Belizean people are known for their cultural tolerance, diversity and friendliness and it’s not uncommon to see the Belizean people smiling and waving at anyone passing by.

Spirituality in Belize life is diverse in a way that it will suit many nationalities. Majority of the citizens are Catholics while a fourth of the population are Protestant (Pentecostal, Anglican, Seventh - day Adventist, Mennonite, Methodist, and Jehovah’s Witnesses). Other religions present are Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.

The Economy

Belize is a member of the British Commonwealth and is governed by parliamentary democracy. It then became an independent nation in 1981 and has a stable and progressive political history. Agriculture, manufacturing and tourism are key elements of its economy. Belize enjoys close ties with the U.S. and UK and steady economic growth.

The national currency of Belize is called Belizean Dollar (BZD) and is approximately worth a half of U.S. Dollar, depending on the inflation. It comes in denominations of 2 dollars, 5 dollars, 10 dollars, 20 dollars, 50 dollars, and 100 dollars. One Belizean dollar is a coins and a 25 cent coin is called a shilling.

Foreign investors enjoy a range of incentives in Belize, outlined in its Fiscal Incentives Act of 1990. Foreign-owned real estate privileges, offshore banking and a lack of capital gains tax attract international business to Belize. With Houston airport just over two hours flying time away and Miami airport an hour and a half, the country's proximity to the U.S. is another attractive feature for foreign investors.

The Atmosphere

The laid back atmosphere of Belize life actually comes from a unique blend of nationalities. Belize enjoys a nice tropical weather. It rains a lot during the months of May to November, while dry season is on February to May.
