handmade soaps and pottery by BlipAndBranch on Etsy

Welcome to our shop! We make skin nourishing handmade soaps and other body care products with carefully sourced ingredients. I prioritize the use of local, natural and sustainably sourced oils and butters that are good for our bodies, communities and planet. As a potter, I also enjoy creating colorful and whimsical ceramic soap dishes to use with our handcrafted soaps.

With a dedication to slow, eco-conscious living, I originally started to make soap to ditch single use plastics and to know exactly what we put on our bodies and what we wash down the drain with each use. The upstream and downstream ecological impact of our process is carefully considered and remains central to how and why we make handmade soap. We do not want to add any more toxins to our bodies, air, or waterways, so we only use natural ingredients in our soaps and choose to omit synthetic fragrances and colorants. Our packaging is plastic free and made from 100% recycled paper.

We strive to ethically source our ingredients, which for us means that we prioritize local, regional, fair trade, organic and sustainably harvested ingredients. And many of the herbs in our products are homegrown. I make all of our soaps and other skincare products in small batches to ensure quality and to keep our stock as fresh as possible.

We make all of our products in our home in Kent, Ohio. We have a young son and enjoy getting outside together for hikes, bike rides and kayak adventures. We also have a bit of a bird obsession around here, so a tiny bird photo (taken by me) flies out with every order.

Thank you for supporting our efforts to make washing-up natural and fun!
It truly means the world!

Amazing scent - very subtle but uplifting. I wash my hands a lot these days and love this soap because my hands don’t dry out or crack from frequent use.

I’ve purchased a number of different soaps from BlipAndBranch and Tangerine and turmeric is another favorite. And, as usual, the delivery was quick and the eco-friendly packaging was appreciated. I’ll definitely order this soap again!

This Gritty soap was better than expected. Some do not have enough grit to make a difference. Not this one. Even on the first use the delightful smell and the rough grit came through. I got what was promised and it was even better than I thought.

I ordered half size soaps to use as Bridal Shower favors and they were a big hit! Everyone loved them and they smell so nice. I talked to Rebecca about what I wanted and she went over and above to make these perfect!! Beautiful, great quality soaps!!

This review is long overdue because I’ve ordered this soap again and again—my husband and I both use it. I also love the quick shipping, the environmentally conscious ingredients and packaging, and the sweet note and sample bar of soap that’s in the box. And it smells so good!

I will continue to order this soap again and again. Shipping is incredibly fast and the packaging is a eco-friendly and thorough. As far as the soap, it's fantastic. Great lather, natural ingredients, and pleasant smell. I absolutely adore the soap ends. This is an artisanal product made with great care. So happy with my soap!💗

I love the smell and the way my skin feels after I’m done using it. The poppy seeds are little exfoliators. It’s also great during the summer to use for my dirty gardening hands.
