We make soap the old fashioned way - at home, using the cold process method. This means that every bar we make has only a few ingredients. Our recipe is vegan and we super fat the combination of oils and lye which results in a moisturizing soap that lathers well and keeps your skin feeling soft. Using cosmetic grade fragrance and essential oils, we are able to create amazing scents that linger in the bathroom long after you’ve finished washing up. Our soaps cure for a minimum of three weeks, which creates a solid bar that lasts and lasts in the shower.
Our goal is make a great bar of soap that smells amazing and is good for your skin. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.

Our store is located in beautiful Jewell, IA. We are one of seven shops in town. If you like unique items, vintage goods, and handmade everything, we highly recommend a day trip. Stroll Main Street, grab a coffee, and let our small town charm you.
