About Us

My name is Nancy, and I'm completely in love with soap making. Most soap makers find their lane and stick to it, but I love trying everything.
I'm in love. I can't resist. Soap making is a peaceful space for me. It's satisfying and fulfilling and calms my crazy when depression takes hold and tries to cripple me. 

I started with batches of soap I wanted to use with my family, my oatmeal and honey bar is the first cold processed soap I'd ever made. Prior to this, I was working with glycerine melting pour soap. I love glycerine soap and plan on making my own batch from scratch in the future. 


All the soaps on this website are cold process soaps made using sodium hydroxide-which is lye, and distilled water. You won't see these two ingredients in my ingredients list because they don't remain in the final product. The water leaves the bar as it cures, and the Lye disappears as it saponifies the oils, butters, and fats in the recipe. Cold process soap takes 4 to 6 weeks to cure. During this time, the water leaves the bar and the Lye finishes, its interaction with the fats, oils, and butters in the bar.

You can't make soap without lye, even in the old days, when they were making soaps with animal fats and wood ash, they were using lye. 
(When hardwood ash mixes with water, it leaches potassium carbonate, which acts as a soft lye.) Lye is dangerous to work with, but necessary to create this saponification process.

I started this small business to sell my soap.
I need to make more soap! I need to make room for more soap, and making money to support my passion would be great. That's why I'm here.
I have an addiction, soap making, and I need your help to keep it going LOL. 

Change matters to me too. During my pregnancy with my son in 2013 to 2014, I changed from synthetic detergents (store bought soaps aren't real soap) to real soaps, and my skin loved it. I never switched back. I'd like you to use less chemicals on your skin and to experience the benefits of natural skin care: healthier skin, real clean, a cleaner footprint, supporting small business, and enjoying plastic free, almost zero-waste products. I want to share all these benefits with you. 

I forgot to use the word eco-conscious; no harmful detergents are released into our water system when I do my soap-making dishes. And none will be released into your septic or sewer when you use natural products. Your skin wins, the environment wins, small business wins. That feels really great!

Thank you for reading this far. Join me on TikTok to watch “making” videos. Maybe I'll join YouTube at some point. I'm also on Facebook and Instagram where I mix up the content I share. I hope you'll choose to shop with me. 

Best Wishes

Nancy

P.S. the soap is good to the last little sliver! You can save your slivers and add them to s soap saver bag.
