The Every Body Bar Hemp Milk Soap
Fragrance: Pink Grapefruit, Papaya, Mango, Peach
While this soap will get anyone clean, it has a message. If the term “learning is a way to refresh the soul” means anything, then this bar has extra cleansing properties. When you see signs this June that say, “The first Pride was a riot” this is a reference to the Stonewall Riots. If you don’t want to learn more and just grab a nice citrusy blend in your soap then read no further, add to cart, and move on. If you you want to learn more about the activists involved:
The riots at The Stonewall Inn in New York City in the summer of 1969, are widely thought to have catalyzed the modern gay rights movement. The uproar between the police and bar patrons that night happened during an era of outward disdain toward gay people — homosexuality was illegal and clinically classified as a mental disorder. At the time, the New York State Liquor Authority prohibited venues from serving gay people under the guise that gay bars were “disorderly” establishments, and The Stonewall Inn, which was opened by Tony Lauria of the Genovese crime family in 1967 as a private gay club, was subjected to frequent routine police raids.
On June 28, 1969, Stonewall patrons, tired of prejudice and humiliation, resisted arrest during an early morning police raid. Witnesses remember Puerto Rican drag queens forming a chorus line while singing, “We are the Stonewall girls/ We wear our hair in curls/ We don’t wear underwear/ We show our pubic hairs” to the tune of the "Howdy Doody" theme. The riots, led by Marsha P. Johnson and others, lasted six days and are commemorated annually across the country during National Pride Month in June.
Marsha P. Johnson was a Black transgender woman, gay liberation activist, sex worker, self-identified drag queen and one of the founding members of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF). Johnson is often credited for launching the Stonewall Riots with a “shot glass heard around the world”.
Sylvia Rivera was a trans-Latina sex worker and civil rights activist involved in the Black Liberation Movement, Gay Activist Alliance and GLF. After Stonewall, Rivera and Johnson created the mutual aid organization, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), the first LGBTQ+ youth shelter in North America. STAR fought for the New York Transgender Rights Bill and a transgender-inclusive New York State Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act. Her speech 1973 'Y’all Better Quiet Down' at the NYC Gay Pride Rally signaled a turning point when gay leaders sidelined BIPOC, trans people, sex workers and homeless youth.
Stormé DeLarverie According to the Inn’s website, a lesbian in handcuffs was hit in the head with a club. Many believe it was Stormé DeLarverie, a biracial lesbian drag king who’d often wear zoot suits and tuxedos off-stage. They allegedly called out to the crowd, “Why don’t you do something?’’ She claimed she was the “Stonewall Lesbian” and was bestowed the title of the “Gay Community's Rosa Parks”. DeLarverie said Stonewall “was a rebellion, it was an uprising, it was a civil rights disobedience – it wasn’t no damn riot.”
Zazu Nova, a Black transgender woman sex worker, was at Stonewall during the police altercation. “Nova joined the resistance outside the bar,” Manion says. According to “Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution”, the self-declared “Queen of Sex” is one of three people witnesses say were “in the vanguard" of the pushback against the police force in addition to Johnson and Rivera. Nova was a founding member of New York Gay Youth — a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth since the GLF only accepted members over 21.
Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a Black transgender woman, sex worker and prison abolitionist was present during the Stonewall Riots. She said she spit in the face of a police officer who knocked her out and was sent to a men’s prison. After her release from prison, she helped run the Transgender Gender-Variant and Intersex Justice Project.

Seller’s note:
This was 56 years ago. If you hear people describing trans people, bi, gay, or anything outside of “boy meets girl” as a mental disorder, just remind them that their belief was debunked during the peak of boomers coming of age, by the greatest generation. People had to literally fight in the streets for simple acknowledgment and understanding. Whether you love or hate this country, you have to admit when defiance in the name of equal rights is fought for, and succeeds, it’s about as “All-American Hero” as you can get.
Today, it's essential to honor those who paved the way towards acceptance and equal rights. Understanding and respect for all identities is a testament to the progress we have made, yet reminds us that the journey continues. Advocacy and education remain crucial tools in dismantling the outdated ideologies that linger in society. Each step taken towards acceptance is a celebration of diversity and a commitment to a fairer world.
Great for: Eczema, Dry Skin, Oily Skin, Acne Threatment, Sensitive Skin, & Make-Up Removal.
Active Ingredients: Hemp Milk (Moisturizing, Healing), Coconut Oil (Cleansing, Lather), Avocado Oil (Moisturizing), Shea Butter (Moisturizing), Organic Extract-Pressed Canola Oil (Healing, Lather, Moisturizing)
”This soap was originally made for me, by me, while I worked on a farm. I have eczema and being outside all day made my skin break out worse and worse every day. I began researching different ingredients and narrowed it down within a year to where I had my perfectly balanced soap. I needed something to help treat my skin and I didn’t want a bar that left my hands feeling dry afterwards. I saw hemp milk at the grocery store one day, and I gave it a shot as a soap ingredient, using a traditional milk soap method I had already practiced at home, it turned out to be the best soap I had made up to that point. It also had some other benefits, such as make-up removal, acne treatment, and being safe for sensitive skin. After that, we ran with it!
Along with our unscented original recipe, we also like to play with fragrance and exfoliants. So we also have a nice variety of soaps to choose from!”
