The Soap Shed makes 130 varieties of handmade soap including goat milk soap, lye soap, shea butter soap and castile olive oil soap. Our handmade soap is created from scratch from raw ingredients imported from around the world, and uniquely combined with recipes created by us.
The handmade soap tradition is still well known in the Appalachian region, with many families still sharing first-hand memories of family members making their own soap in this geographically isolated and financially poor region. Not surprisingly, we heard requests for old fashioned, handmade soap for several years before making it. Because locals and regional visitors recognized and valued handmade craft, our efforts to create handmade soap using vegetable oils, goat milk and shea butter were well received, and The Soap Shed has grown and prospered since 1998.
Made with stoneground cornmeal grits, coffee grounds and pumice to tackle the extreme challenge of removing the toughest grease and grime from mechanics' hands.
