In 2014 I learned how to make natural soap using simple, natural ingredients and time-honored methods: coconut oil, olive oil, and tallow.  I stirred in a dash of citrus vanilla fragrance and dried rosemary from my own garden.

 

24 hours after stirring the simple ingredients together and pouring it into a mold, I cut it up into 12 lovely bars. It "cured" on my dining room buffet for 30 days after which my family and I began using it at our sinks and in the shower.

 

Our skin felt better! We had been using pump hand washes and shower gels - each with a list of 50 ingredients we could not pronounce. Quite a difference from the handful of natural ingredients I used for my soaps.

​

I decided to make a few batches as a handmade contribution to a family wedding shower. Friends asked to purchase extra bars. Another friend encouraged me to set up a table at a local Art Fair. Within a few weeks from my first batch of soap South Street Soapworks was born!

​

Staying true to my beginnings with the use of simple and natural ingredients, I've expanded over the years with Lip Balms, Deodorant, Room & Body Spray, Shave Soaps, Shampoo Bars, Bath Bombs, Lotions and Pet Shampoo. Many of these products and ideas have come from requests from my wonderful clients.

I hope you enjoy your South Street Soapworks purchases and always feel free to contact me with suggestions, comments and questions!
