                      USING OUR PRODUCTS

                      How do I pour?

                        Simply crack open your can (enjoy the familiar sound) have your bottle ready and pour away. Our products have a lovely consistency, we think they pour like a dream.

                        Do you sell funnels?

                          No. Given how well our product pours and that we are trying to reduce the volume of things in the world, we felt it was unnecessary. 

                          What do we do with the remaining soap in the can?

                            Use it! At KANKAN HQ we take our can in the shower and use the last dribbles for a good solid sudding. Otherwise, rinse and crush, and recycle! 

                            How many pumps per wash?

                              This is such a personal question - we all come in different shapes and sizes, but we on average use 2-3 pumps per sudding. These washes are pretty concentrated so see how you go!

                               

                              PRODUCT & PACKAGING

                                Do you test on animals?

                                  We love animals and would never use anything on them before testing them on us.

                                  What does 98.7% natural mean?

                                    Exactly that. % wise our product is 98.7% natural. The other 1.3% of ingredients are derived from the lab and they help preserve the life of your product.

                                    What is the shelf life?

                                      Once opened they have a recommended shelf life of 9 months

                                      Are they safe to use on children?

                                        We have developed our WASH | BABY product for use on babies hair and body. Our other products are very gentle too and are great for sensitive skin. All our products are free from known irritants such as parabens, sulfates, artificial colours and fragrances.

                                        Are your cans BPA free?

                                          What will my products arrive in?

                                            We have searched high and low to find the most eco, plastic free options out there for our products. We deliver our gift sets in Flexi Hex, a unique hexagonal structure. It protects the product, is lightweight  and it looks super awesome too. We also use cardboard postal tubes (with metal ends) and acid free tissue printed with soy based inks.
                                             

                                            SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

                                            What does one can = one tree mean?
                                              We work with an international Not For Profit organisation called onetreeplanted.org to plant trees on behalf of us and our customers. When you buy a KANKAN can, we plant one tree on your behalf.

                                               

                                              Who is OneTreePlanted?

                                                OneTreePlanted is a global organisation who work with NGOs on the ground. These NGOs plant trees on behalf Onetreeplanted and their partners. We chose to partner with them because
                                                1. They work globally,
                                                2. They're all about impactful, trackable planting
                                                3. They provide amazing supportive information about their actions.
                                                4. They believe (& we do too) that trees have a multi-pronged benefit which they call the 6 pillars -

                                                Is KANKAN carbon neutral?

                                                  The short answer is "we hope so!" but the longer answer is that we don't know yet.

                                                  As we are a very new company, we've yet to quantify our impact because we haven't the data yet. What we can say is that we are very vested in making positive impact. We use this as the basis to all our decision making.

                                                  We made a promise right in the infancy of KANKAN that we would publish an annual report on our environmental impact. So, at the end of 2020 we will have the data and will hope to replace this long winded response with a straight - Yes, actually, we are a carbon positive business :)

                                                   

                                                  What is your kickback cans initiative about?

                                                    As well as feeling strongly about reforestation and rewilding of the world, we also wanted our cans to be used for good within communities. We wanted people to feel the impact too.

                                                    We offer our cans for grassroot organisations to sell to fundraise their projects. Think of girl guide cookies and you'll get the idea.

                                                    If you have a worthy project that you feel KANKAN products would be a good fit with, please get in touch. We like to partner with illustrators to convey your message in a fun and engaging way on the can - making a limited edition range to sell online.

                                                    We will profile your project on our social networks, giving extra oomph to your projects exposure. We really do believe that what goes around, comes around.
