The Company with Morals

What happens when you put an Automation Machinery Designer and a Biochemical Engineer together? The perfect product. And no, I’m not talking about our kids — I’m talking about Scrubmission Soap.

After a couple of months of training Jiu Jitsu, I started experiencing skin irritation from the intense training environment. I didn’t know much about skin care for grapplers at the time, but I quickly realized that looking after your skin is just as important as looking after your technique.

As I spoke to more athletes and listened to conversations within the combat sports community, I discovered I wasn’t alone. Grapplers spend hours in close-contact training environments, and maintaining good hygiene is an essential part of the sport.

I’m an old-school man who likes gardening (I’m a proud allotment owner), fighting in a controlled environment, and watching Dragon Ball. But I’ve never been a fan of unnecessary artificial ingredients or overly complicated formulations. When I started looking for products that suited my expectations, I struggled to find something that combined high-quality ingredients, effective cleansing, and a formulation designed specifically for combat sports athletes.

That’s where Scrubmission began.

Together, we set out to create a premium soap for grapplers and active individuals—one that delivers a thorough cleansing experience while using carefully selected ingredients. We wanted a product that reflected our values: quality, simplicity, and a deep understanding of the demands of life on the mats.

Today, Scrubmission is built for athletes who train hard, sweat hard, and want products that fit seamlessly into their daily hygiene routine. Every product is developed with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that inspired us from the very beginning.

That’s when I sat down with my wife and began experimenting with different formulations. It was a long and often expensive journey to find the right balance of ingredients and create a product we were genuinely proud of. I became the chief tester, using every version myself on a daily basis and refining the formula until it met our standards.

By 2022, I had completely switched to using our own soap and haven't looked back since.

I’ll be honest—I’m from the ghetto, and sharing has never come naturally to me. Growing up, if you shared something, there was a good chance it wouldn’t come back. So for a long time, I kept our soap to myself.

That changed when I gave a bar to my Sensei as a sign of respect. He really liked it. Then I shared it with my training partners, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Before long, they were encouraging us to make it available to more people and turn our passion project into a real business.

That encouragement became the foundation of Scrubmission.
