That's probably why there's so much space in the pagan and new age market for soaps, cleaning solutions, natural remedies, and charms.
When people who want to get back to nature™; a vision of nature that is fresher, cleaner, healthier and more safe - set about to create an exterior world that aligns with their internal ideal that's exactly the sort of product and artifice you could expect. Thematically appropriate/correct, and in the process, sanitized and curated. Think about how the manner of effect or the improvement over other products is often advertised to be or believed to be restoring some balance. Natures balance. Natures balance where I grew up would have you malnourished and malarial. This is not what they have in mind (though it may actually be a side effect).

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
