Him: Libra. Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Virginia Tech. Sings and plays guitar in a punk rock band. Software engineer by day, enthusiastic Soapist on evenings and weekends. Enjoys long walks on the beach, thunderstorms, and reading by the fireplace.
As a society, we’ve become far too dependent on mass-produced products. Large corporations are interested in only one thing: Profit. Chemicals like Tetrasodium EDTA and 2,6-Di-t-butyl-p-cresol have no business in bar soap. These chemicals are used because they’re cheaper than using natural ingredients and time-tested methods.
Once you try real soap, you’ll never go back to the grocery store brands.

Her: My grandma had beautiful hands. Her secret? Years of kneading bread dough that was slathered in olive oil. So, when my husband suggested making our soap using a castile soap recipe (primarily olive oil), I wholeheartedly agreed.
After graduating VCU in History & Art History, I laid my roots permanently in Richmond. The charm, history, architecture, and neighborhoods made it “easy to love” (to quote a recent downtown marketing campaign), and also made it the perfect muse when creating our soap fragrances.
I hope you’ll love the way our soap cleans and conditions your skin AND the way it evokes some of our favorite Richmond places.
