@therealdeal3672 1) Most hand soap isn't toxic or particularly bad for the environment. It's primarily oil and sodium hydroxide. And if it were so bad, we would be unwise to wash it down the drain on a daily basis, so that argument is not too solid.
2) Based on the video, those 'specific regions' include areas in the global south. That's quite a distance. Besides, 'shipping only to specific regions' applies to pretty much every product known to man. Remember, these bars of soap have already been shipped once to the hotels, then to the recycler, and finally to the end user. That's triple the transportation.
3) Obviously, people don't come out and talk about soap to strangers, but visiting them and talking to them, it's as easy to find out their hygiene standards as if I visited you in your home. I live in the developing world and have for the last 26 years. Access to soap just isn't an issue.
4) Giving things away for free where a market for those things exist will certainly have an impact on the market.

"Where are all the profits going???"
Profits are what's left after all expenses have been paid, incl. salaries, utilities, machines, tools, raw materials, land costs, taxes.
Profits always (yes, always) go to the owners of the business, incl. share holders.
My question to you is: How do you know if there are any profits at all? The video didn't say anything about that. Lots of businesses are not profitable, and some end up going bankrupt.
