Why Make Handmade Soap?

​

​

​

My soaping journey started back in 2016 when I became interested in handcrafted products. I wanted to created my own mini spa experience at home, stealing some time for myself to relax and unwind. But, I also needed a remedy for my skin problems. I have always had very dry skin and keratosis pilaris (or chicken skin). I have tried a lot of products, both prescription and over the counter and could never find a solution. I began researching the "hard-to-pronounce" ingredients in these products I was using and became frustrated by the harsh chemicals and detergents in them. Because I had such a hard time finding anything that worked for my skin, I decided to see if handmade products could help me. I set out to try and make handmade soap and handcrafted items on my own, and The Essential Oils Soapery was born!

​

We started The Essential Oils Soapery with several goals in mind:

 

1) Helping others (especially busy mom's) experience their own spa time, sneaking a few minutes to unwind and rejuvenate themselves.

​

2) Share custom made products hoping we are able to help those who struggle with troubled skin. **Medical Disclaimer: Our soaps and other body products are meant for you and your skin to enjoy!
