Control What You Can Control How Leifa Collective Is Building Non-Toxic Laundry Detergent And Organic Goat Milk Soap In Summit County, Utah

Episode Summary

On this episode of The Business Spotlight, host Peter Anthony sits down with Lee, the founder of Leifa Collective, a brand new Utah company built on a simple idea, you cannot control the chemicals in the environment, but you can control the ones inside your own home and the ones you put on your body.

Leifa Collective is organized around four pillars, home, body, garden, and pets, and Lee is starting with the home because that is where a family has the most control. The first launch is a laundry detergent that cleans in high efficiency machines with nothing artificial in it, available unscented or in a light almond scent, and it does not leave sheets scratchy. The second launch is an organic goat milk soap, locally curated, locally grown, locally produced, and locally distributed, made right in Summit County from goats that live right there.

Peter Anthony brings four decades of experience in soaps, lotions, and potions to the conversation, including med spa work in the 1990s built around lymphatic drainage, Vichy showers, and detox protocols, and he makes the point that the whole industry was focused on getting petrochemicals out of the body without ever asking how they were getting in. Laundry detergent is one of the biggest answers. Petrochemicals embed themselves in fabric and transfer to skin when heat opens the pores, which is why he tells cold plunge and gym audiences in particular that the towel and the workout shirt matter as much as the protocol.

Lee's own story starts at twenty four, when she realized she was sliding backwards instead of growing into the energy she expected adulthood to bring. Raised by a mother in holistic health, reflexology, and alternative medicine, and simultaneously on margarine and the four food groups, she turned that contradiction into a lifelong passion for genuinely healthy products. Her stated intent for the company is to foster human flourishing, and the name says it, Leifa means to live in Icelandic, part of her own heritage.

The episode closes on why the timing feels right, a national conversation that finally has people asking what is actually in their products, and Peter Anthony's two-part ask for listeners, order the laundry detergent and then get the soap.
