Michael Paulson, President
Michael Paulson came up with the Business Model and Idea over 16 years ago to verify that one has washed their hands for your protection! Michael has worked diligently in creating the brand known as Soap with a Purpose. Due to Michael’s career in the construction industry he has had to eat from many mobile job site lunch wagons and observed the many cooks, servers not washing their hands, observed many restaurant cooks not washing their hands after using the restrooms and then they would go back and start cooking for the general public since the 1990’s Michael started paying more attention to this health problem.
Michael knew that this was a big health problem for the general public and his goal was set to figure out a way to verify that one has washed their hands first before cooking food, shaking ones hands, etc. Michael created Soap with a Purpose AKA SWAP to verify one had washed their hands for your protection and the product has evolved to also include reducing germs, bacteria up to 28 days, leaving hands softer and moist without a slippery feeling on ones hands, hands smelling great with custom fragrances.
SWAP has been under development for the past 10 years and is now perfected and ready for the market place to protect all. Michael sees Soap with a Purpose as a humanitarian way to protect all.
Michael Recruited Mr. Weston Griffis an elite chemist and Mr. Marc Sanchez In House Counsel, FDA consultant for Soap with a Purpose’s mission.
