Back in 2010, we had one simple goal: make Christmas gifts that wouldn't end up in someone's regift pile.
At the time, gift cards felt a little... well... boring. So we decided to try our hand at making handmade soap for our coworkers, family, and friends. We figured if things went horribly wrong, at least everyone would have something to wash their hands with.
To our surprise, everyone loved them.
Then the questions started...
"Can you make lotion?"
"What about bath bombs?"
"Do you have something for beards?"
"Can my dog smell this good too?"
Our answer was almost always, "We haven't yet...but give us a minute."
Before long, our little Christmas gift experiment had completely taken over our lives... in the best possible way.
Today, we make everything from handmade soaps, bath bombs, bath salts, body lotions, lotion candles, body sprays, lip balms, and plenty of other goodies that make gift-giving ridiculously easy (or make it really hard to give away because you'll want to keep them for yourself).
And because we firmly believe self-care isn't just for the ladies, we've got the guys covered too. Whether you're rocking a mountain-man beard, a perfectly groomed masterpiece, or a baby-smooth shave, we've created beard oils, beard balms, shave soaps, aftershaves, and our Men's Maintenance Kits to keep every face looking its best.
Fast forward a few years, and what started in our home has grown into a full-blown soap obsession. You can now visit us at 104 S. Main Street in China Grove, North Carolina, find our products in hundreds of retail locations across the country, or shop online anytime (yes...even while wearing pajamas).
One warning before you visit...
You'll probably spend way longer smelling everything than you planned.
With hundreds of fragrances to explore, choosing just one favorite is nearly impossible. (Don't worry—we still can't do it either.)
