Benefits of Handcrafted

Quality, Health & Safety: Handmade products use natural, food-grade ingredients. These are typically gentler – especially for those with allergies or skin sensitivity. Because they are handcrafted in small batches, the maker is directly involved in the quality and safety of each item.

Environmental Impact: Handcrafted products are more sustainable from start to finish. Makers typically source raw materials that are more natural and are often local. Small batch, handmade production generates a smaller carbon footprint, while final packaging reduces plastic and paper waste.

Economic Power: While online sales offer access to makers around the world, most handcrafters are small businesses. Your purchase puts money directly back into a community, supporting jobs and local economic development.

When you use a bar of handcrafted soap, you know it was made with the personal touch of a local soap maker.

    —Jake

  • "Laura, I gave your soap as a hostess gift, and I received a message that initially they were going to put it in their guest bathroom, but loved it, especially the smell , so much that they decided to keep it in their personal bathroom. That friend has sensitive skin and she was excited about the natural ingredients too. "
