Our Story

I have always been a do-​it-​yourself sort of person. If something can be done at home I want to try it at least once. When a friend of mine suggested I would like making my own soap I thought, «Great, maybe I will save money and be able to pronounce all of the ingredients in my soap.» I eagerly began scouring the internet for recipes, tutorials and supplies.

My husband was not so easily convinced. He was a fan of a particular brand name soap and not going to give it up easily. He was sure homemade ‘lye soap’ would never work. It wouldn’t smell good, it would not leave him clean and he would not be clean by nightfall. But he knew I was not going to give it up until I’d tried and failed, so we made some soap. I wanted to keep it simple so I stuck with a basic castile soap, olive oil and lye solution.

Did I mention that Jonathan did have a reason to be attached to his soap. He is a sweaty guy and we had actually had quite a time finding a soap that would keep him fresh all day
