How It Started
Our business started small - in the basement of my parents home, actually - with almost no money at all.
We made soap because we liked it. We enjoyed working with our hands. I also personally enjoyed the time spent trying new and exciting blends. But it wasn't long before we both decided that if we were going to continue, we'd need to find a way to make this hobby pay for itself.
It grew from there. A neighbor or two needed a gift for a baby shower, or for a friend's birthday. We started making small gift assortments. The word spread, and the demand slowly grew.
We're happy to be based in Southwest Virginia, and we're still growing!

About our Products
All of our products are hand-crafted right here in our workshop in Southwest Virginia. We make everything in small batches, with just the right skin-loving ingredients. Whenever possible, we make every attempt to source our ingredients locally, because we believe in supporting local merchants and their businesses. When this isn't possible, we source only fair-trade certified products from vendors we trust. Our products are NEVER tested on animals, though our families will admit to being subject to all sorts of soapy experiments! We work in a non-smoking, pet-free facility.
What We Do
We don't just make soap. We like to think that we're making a little happiness, too. Are you planning a wedding? Know someone who has recently had a child? We love to make wedding favors or gift baskets for friends, family or co-workers. Drop us a line, and let us know what you're looking for!
