About the CLEANPUNK|SHOP
Rebel-Made. Mission-Driven.
Cleanpunk is the shop arm of Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal sanctuary. Every bar of soap, every lotion, every crocheted pal — it all goes directly to funding the rescue and lifelong care of animals who had nowhere else to go.
The Short Answer
Every purchase is a direct, traceable transfer to the daily care of specific rescued animals. For a $9 Ambassador soap bar, $5 goes straight to hay, grain, fresh water, veterinary care, shelter maintenance, fencing, and rescue transport for the residents of Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn. No salaries. No overhead. The remaining $4 covers ingredients and production. Ambassador bars are named after real animals (Jute, Mo Love, Smokey, Tashi & Hiro, and others) so the connection between the bar in your shower and the animal it supports is literal, not metaphorical.
Key Takeaways
- $5 of every $9 bar funds direct animal care (hay, vet, shelter, transport).
- Cleanpunk is 100% volunteer-run — zero salaries or administrative overhead taken from product revenue.
- Ambassador soaps are named after actual residents; buying one keeps that specific animal's story and care front and center.
- Ingredients are cruelty-free, palm-free, phthalate-free in fragrance, ethically sourced, and fair-trade where possible. Packaging is biodegradable with a paper option and garden-compostable transition planned.
- The same mission that drives the sanctuary (detailed operational honesty, no greenwash) drives the shop.
What We Make
Our products are handmade in small batches right here at the barn. We use high-quality, cruelty-free ingredients with no animal testing — ever. Each Ambassador Soap Bar is named after one of our rescued residents, so every purchase connects you to a real animal with a real story.
Where the Money Goes
A fixed amount from every product sold goes directly to the animals of Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn. For a $9 soap bar, $5 funds animal care — the remaining $4 covers our cost of ingredients and production. That $5 pays for:
- Hay, feed, and fresh water for all residents
- Veterinary care and medications
- Shelter maintenance and fencing
- Rescue transport and intake costs
Cleanpunk is run entirely by volunteers — nobody takes a salary. When you buy a bar of soap, the only thing your money pays for is making that soap and caring for the animals it supports.
The Barn
Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn is home to goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and more. Each animal was rescued from neglect, abandonment, or unsafe situations. They now live out their lives with the care and dignity they deserve.
