I've always been intrigued with the idea of making soap from scratch. I would attend craft fairs and always linger at the soap tables. I finally realized that if I enjoy the idea of it, why not actually do it? So I did. And I loved it. Once I started, I could not stop! I am also a Registered Dietitian and wanted to incorporate the values I have regarding health into soap, body butters, lip butters, tooth powder, pit pastes and any other product I create. I am opposed to adding artificial dyes to my soaps. Basically, I like to "turn healthy food into good clean soap!" I add turmeric, paprika, cocoa, coffee, teas, herbs, spices, vegetables, fruits to add antioxidant value and color to my soaps. Who needs artificial dyes when my kitchen is full of natural colors! I am also a homeschooling mom, so my soapmaking usually happens in the early hours of a crisp Maine morning before the children awake, and my nights are late, as ideas float and churn in my head. I'm so glad I decided to make soap, it truly brings me joy to create and formulate my recipes. Making soap also brings to mind one of my favorite verses in the Bible "The blood of Jesus Christ.... cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7). I love the idea of being clean outwardly, but ultimately, it is most important that I am "clean" inwardly as well. I hope that if you decide to try any of our products, that you will just love them! On an end note, you may have noticed my dog pictured with me in the photo above. I love dogs! Leo, our Rhodesian Ridgeback gets washed with our silky goat milk dog shampoo, and he has an absolutely lovely, silky coat!

5 out of 5 starsThis lovely blueberry scented soap is destined to live in our Maine cabin this summer. Great summer blueberry scent. All the soaps are super moisturizing. I’m done with body wash. These are infinitely better. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsThe soap from this shop is high quality, beautiful, smells great, and super moisturizing. I learned of this shop via Christmas gifts from my son and girlfriend who live in northern Maine. I was a fancy body wash person and worried the soap would be drying. I was so wrong. It’s fantastic and I’ve thrown out my body wash because I only want to use this. I love everything I have tried!

5 out of 5 starsI have been using high-end lip balms that I purchase when getting facials. While they feel great when I put them on, they don’t actually seem to heal my skin. These lip balms are different! Super soothing to chapped lips and seem to be actually healing them. The lemon rose flavor is much more lemon/citrus than rose, but still enjoyable. I will try the other flavor/scents as well. If you need to heal chapped lips, try these!
