A Little Bit About Me and How This All Came To Be........
L's Handmade Soap Co. started with a passion for patchouli oil. Growing up I was raised listening to Pink Floyd, roller skating to the Beatles and smelling the sweet earthy scent of patchouli oil my lovely mother would wear. You could say I grew quite a fondness for the scent. As time grew, I not only wanted the oil, but also wanted the natural soap to accompany it. As a consumer I like to smell before I buy so to avoid waiting through a long Minnesota winter to buy from a festival I taught myself how to make soap. Of course my first batch was patchouli (who would have guessed) and it turned out not so great. But I kept at it until I got it right and then I just kept going. Making more scents, exploring with colorants, new oils, butters, herbs and just having fun with a newfound hobby I truly love. After two weeks of using my soaps I noticed what a difference my products make to my skin. I have had allergies and eczema my whole life and my skin never felt better after using my own soaps. It felt softer, smoother and my complexion improved ten fold. So I started making more soap and spreading the love, giving my soaps away for others to try. Christmas of 2012 brought on many praises from family and friends to start my own business as they were also seeing a noticeable difference in their own skin and voila here we are with L's Handmade Soap Co.!
I truly give thanks to my family and friends who helped me get this together. One especially to my cousin, Dede, without the extra push and praise this would have never happened and without my charming husband, soul mate and mentor, Clint, I wouldn't be the creative and confident artisan I am today. All my soaps are made using the Cold Process method, using the best base oils & butters, the best all natural colorants and oxides paired with the most excellent essential oils and fragrance. Get your soap on and feel the difference!
