About our soap

Our small-batch, 100% natural soaps are crafted using the cold process method, allowing us to experiment with various essential oil blends and natural additives like dried flowers, poppy seeds, clays, and salts. This method lets our creativity shine in each bar of soap we produce.

Our soap recipe incorporates a blend of natural oils including extra virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, and sunflower oil. This combination ensures each soap bar is moisturizing, soothing, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This oil is packed with vitamins and antioxidants, which contribute to the moisturizing, anti-aging and relief from sun damage effects this oil is known for.

Virgin Coconut Oil

This oil is super hydrating. It also has the ability to be a protective layer that sits on the

skin which locks in the moisture.

Rice Bran Oil

Rice bran is an amazing oil that heals, repairs and soothes the skin due to its richness in fatty acids, vitamin E and mineral salts.

Caster oil

Castor oil is a versatile oil that keeps skin hydrated and moisturized. It also adds to the lather factor of the soap.

Sunflower oil

This oil is rich in vitamins E and antioxidants that help skin to keep skin looking moisturized and refreshed.

The combination of these oils in our soap creates a bar with a creamy lather, while cleaning and moisturizing, which your skin will say thank you for!

For me, in my youth, I was always engaging in creative activities, specifically flower arrangements, corsages, boutonnieres, weddings, proms, funerals and I had tons of fun getting paid for what I liked to do. Yet as a career, I chose a safe route: accounting for the government. Super safe and not the most creative outlet. While I have enjoyed my career in government, learned a great deal and excelled at project work, as it is, for me, the most engaging side of government work. How will this product or program fit within the confines of the existing structure and budget??! Always a challenge and which, if I am honest, is creative work in and of itself! As I am nearing retirement those creative urges have returned in the form of soap making and this time, I plan to fully honor my creative side.

I have been retired for a few years and have completed a cooking and a pastry program at La Table des trois Vallées, from the Ecole hoteliere de l'Outaouais in Buckingham, where I have greatly improved my culinary skills, for which I constantly spoil family and freinds with delectable meals and delightful desserts. People are always querying what is this made with? ....for which I answer...the first ingredient is 'love', always love. I love making things for those I love! This also represents a creative outlet for me, as I explore various essential oil combinations. Who knows what new soaps, bath bombs or shower steamers are to come!

In addition to soaps, we offer shower steamers (in seasonal and signature scents), sea salt decontructed bath bomb fizz, and salt scrubs in our signature scents. Each product is crafted with natural ingredients, focusing on skin health and overall well-being.

Our products represent not just our journey into retirement but a promise to honor our creativity and share our love for natural, handcrafted soap making. We hope you find as much joy in using our products as we do in creating them!

Our Process

At the heart of our soap making is a commitment to natural and sustainable practices. From sourcing ingredients to crafting each product, we ensure every step reflects our dedication to quality and environmental responsibility.

Ingredient Selection: We carefully choose high-quality, natural ingredients for their skin-nourishing properties and environmental sustainability. Our selection process emphasizes local sourcing to reduce our carbon footprint and support the local community.

Crafting Method: We use the traditional cold process method for soap making. This time-honored technique allows for greater control over the soap's composition, ensuring a gentle and effective product. By avoiding heat, we preserve the integrity of our natural ingredients.

Creative Blending: Each soap batch is a canvas for our creativity. We experiment with different oil blends, essential oils, and natural additives to create unique scents, textures, and skin benefits. This process is a fusion of science and art, resulting in soaps that are as delightful to use as they are effective.

Curing and Quality Assurance: Once crafted, our soaps undergo a curing period to ensure they are mild, long-lasting, and of the highest quality. We perform thorough checks at every stage to guarantee that each product meets our stringent standards.

Packaging and Presentation: We believe in eco-friendly practices, extending to our packaging. Our soaps are wrapped in biodegradable materials and labeled with recycled paper, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.

Through this process, we strive not only to create exceptional natural soaps but also to make a positive impact on our environment and community. Our journey in soap making is one of continuous learning, improvement, and a deep respect for the natural world
