Verdict · checked Nov 1, 2026
Yes
Zum soaps and laundry products are made by Indigo Wild in Kansas City, Missouri. The company states that "Zum products are all made locally by real humans in Kansas City with globally sourced ingredients!" and names two production sites: Zum Laundry Soap, Hand Soap, Mist and Candles are made at its 2800 Mercier building, and Zum Bar Soaps are "made, labeled, and packaged" at 3125 Wyandotte.
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Zum Laundry Soap, Hand Soap, Mist and Candles | Kansas City, MO (2800 Mercier) | Made in USA |
| Zum Bar Soaps | Kansas City, MO (3125 Wyandotte) | Made in USA |
The one caveat is ingredients. Indigo Wild says its ingredients are "globally sourced," so items like the coconut oil in its soaps are not all American-grown, but the manufacturing itself is done in Kansas City. Indigo Wild got its start in 1996 selling goat's milk soap at Kansas City farmers' markets.

About Zum
Zum laundry soap, bar soap and other goat's milk products are made by Indigo Wild at two buildings in Kansas City, Missouri, with ingredients the company says are globally sourced.
Indigo Wild's farmers' market soap
Indigo Wild got its start in 1996 selling goat's milk soap at Kansas City farmers' markets. The company says the Zum Bar name came from an offhand remark, "That sure is zum bar of soap!", and that its Lime-Basil bar was created in its first 300-square-foot "factory."
It now employs 147 people and says it sells about 2.5 million Zum Bars a year. Frankincense and myrrh is its best-selling scent across every product family.
Two Kansas City buildings
Indigo Wild names both production sites. Zum Laundry Soap, Hand Soap, Mist and Candles are made at 2800 Mercier. Zum Bar soaps are cold-process soaps "made, labeled, and packaged" at 3125 Wyandotte, which also packs and ships online orders.
The company states that "Zum products are all made locally by real humans in Kansas City with globally sourced ingredients!" So the laundry soaps we list are made in Missouri, but raw materials such as the 1.3 million pounds of coconut oil it uses each year are not all American-grown.
