How Cleanlogic Is Paving New Paths For Workers With Disabilities

There’s a brand that’s shaking up the beauty industry with more than just amazing exfoliators — they’re on a mission to smash down barriers for workers with disabilities. In a world where consumers crave brands that make a difference, Cleanlogic is proving that every scrub and skin-care purchase can help change lives, one job at a time.

With October marking both Disability Employment Awareness Month and Blindness Awareness Month, Cleanlogic is reminding the world that inclusivity isn’t just a corporate or consumer buzzword — it’s a societal imperative.

While many companies talk about inclusivity, the numbers tell a different story. Despite strides toward equality, unemployment rates among individuals with disabilities remain far higher than for the general population. Individuals with disabilities don’t lack the skills; there’s a lack of accessibility and opportunity. Many companies still shy away from hiring people with disabilities, assuming that accommodations will be too difficult or expensive. But studies have shown that employees with disabilities are just as productive and loyal as their peers, and they often bring fresh perspectives to the workplace.

That’s where Cleanlogic comes in. Founded by Isaac Shapiro and Mike Ghesser, Cleanlogic’s mission is deeply personal. The company was born out of direct experiences with disabilities, and that created a desire to provide meaningful employment opportunities for the community. Cleanlogic isn’t interested in token gestures — they’re serious about inclusion. For example, in their Philadelphia-based facility, almost 50% of the employees have disabilities.

And they’re doing it in style. Cleanlogic’s products are not only accessible to everyone, thanks to packaging with Braille labels, but they’re also made with high-quality materials that customers love. From exfoliating bath gloves and body scrubbers to their smash-hit facial exfoliators, Cleanlogic’s line of skin-care tools is designed for everyone, regardless of ability.

But Cleanlogic’s commitment goes deeper than just offering jobs. The company is working to change how businesses think about disability employment. Rather than viewing accommodations as a burden, Cleanlogic sees them as an investment in innovation and creativity. Employees with disabilities often have unique problem-solving skills developed from years of navigating a world that wasn’t designed for them. These are the types of perspectives that businesses need if they want to thrive in today’s rapidly changing environment.

As consumers, we have more power than we think. When you buy from a brand that actively supports its community, you’re doing more than just getting a product — you’re supporting a cause. Cleanlogic’s “Assembled in the USA” products are assembled by individuals with disabilities, and when you purchase them, you’re not just investing in high-quality skin care — you’re contributing to a system that provides meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

October’s Disability Employment and Blindness Awareness Month is a great time to think about how we can all make a difference. Cleanlogic’s story is an inspiring reminder of what can happen when a company makes inclusivity a priority. While some businesses may see hiring people with disabilities as an “extra step,” Cleanlogic has shown that it can be a game-changer. Not only are they paving the way for a more inclusive workforce, but they’re also proving that you don’t have to sacrifice quality or profitability to make a difference.
