About us
How it all began..UMMU was born at the kitchen table. Where some people like to spend a free evening gaming, Perry and Vince prefer to puzzle over complex problems and simple, tangible solutions.
We saw solid soap growing hugely in popularity, yet it was still stuck in a niche. The mainstream dropped out. Why? Because a slippery bar of soap on a grubby dish creates friction.
That same evening we decided that if we were going to do something with solid soap, it had to be every bit as easy to use as the standard: liquid soap. And how? By pumping it. No complex electronics, no app.
Mission
We take the friction out of sustainable choices by designing simple, well-considered products that ask no compromise on convenience, quality or looks.
Vision
We strive for a future in which sustainable alternatives are chosen not out of conviction, but simply because they work better.
Low-tech, high-impact.
Solid soap is a wonderful thing. It's hugely effective, contains no unnecessary water, needs no plastic packaging and is incredibly versatile.
We believe a sustainable solution has to be every bit as effective, beautiful and frictionless if it's to appeal to a wide audience and make a real impact.
Humble high-end.
In a society that seems to grow ever more complex and short-term minded, we simply want to make good, simple, solid products for the long term.
We offer complete, well-designed solutions that belong in your home, respect raw materials and never ask you to compromise on convenience.
