A little bit about us

We are artisan soap and cosmetic makers based on the Canadian prairies. We offer a selection of hand made soaps and cosmetics including vegan and fragrance free options. We use high quality ingredients sourced from reputable suppliers that are pure and never tested on animals. Our ingredients are sustainable.

Established in 2010 to help our grandchild with skin sensitivity issues, we embarked on our journey of learning while sourcing ingredients to create a simple bar of soap for him, our grandson.

Since that time we have continued to develop our range of hand poured soaps, bath bombs and mineral soaks along with lotion and many other items.

We offer simplicity and luxury that we feel you will love as much as we do.    

Essential oils

Essential oils are extracted from a single plant — from its flower, roots, stem, leaves, or fruit. They’re the volatile aromatic molecules of plants, they are the reason we can smell and taste herbs, flowers, spices and so on. Essential oils affect our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, and take effect via topical application and inhalation. Long term use of essential oils — in small quantities — can have a great impact on our overall health and state of wellbeing.

History of Soap making

 

Beginnings of Soap

The first concrete evidence we have of soap-like substance is dated around 2800 BC, the first soap makers were Babylonians, Mesopotamians, Egyptians, as well as the ancient Greeks and Romans. All of them made soap by mixing fat, oils and salts. Soap wasn't made and used for bathing and personal hygiene but was rather produced for cleaning cooking utensils or goods or was used for medicinal purposes.

Soap is a product for cleaning made from natural ingredients that may include both plant and animal products, including items like animal fat, such as tallow or vegetable oil, such as castor, olive, or coconut oil.

The Ebers papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) reveals that the ancient Egyptians mixed animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to produce a soap-like substance. The Celts made their soap from animal fat and plant ashes and they named the product saipo, from which the word soap is derived.
