Hi! I'm Em and welcome to my Soap BAR :)
As someone who has always had a passion for skincare and body products, taking care of my skin has always been a ritual for me. I have a collective 7 years experience working in retail cosmetics...but I found myself let down by the industry.
Over the years, my awareness and knowledge concerning the ingredients that are found in our cosmetic and personal care products expanded and I found myself discouraged and disappointed.
Our skin is our largest organ and it IS important what we put on it. A lot of the products I loved using were filled with harsh chemicals and nasties and this was NOT okay with me. My first concern went to the products I used DAILY.
I knew I wanted a quality product and a beautiful product that stimulated my senses. But I also wanted peace of mind. I didn't want to trade quality and practicality with experience and pleasure.
Yes, I wanted it all!
So, I channeled my passion for personal care products and my desire for a new creative hobby and started to make my own products from scratch!
My soap making journey began after finding inspiration in Mexico in 2018.
I experimented with the cold-process traditional method for 2.5 years, making everything from scratch and enjoying this hobby for myself and gifting to friends and family. During this time, I did A LOT of research, made mistakes, experienced some wins and also created my own unique recipes without palm-oil or animal fats (often used in soaps). Near the end of 2020, I officially launched my Soap BAR!
I am so happy to share these handcrafted pieces of luxury with you. Your skin is your largest organ and it deserves THE BEST. I believe we can have a product with clean ingredients that is effective AND a joy to use! I hope my handmade creations bring you some joy to your everyday routines.
- create handcrafted products with high quality, nourishing and natural ingredients
- offer products that are practical, effective, and beautiful
- use minimal packaging and ensure all packaging elements are either reusable, recyclable or compostable
- bring joy to your everyday bath and shower routines
Happy and healthy skin = Happy life (the lesser known happy life saying ;))
Thank you for being here!
Love,
Em
