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.
One of our favorites since 1998, our luscious Pumpkin Cream is made with goat milk and colored with carrot juice and the brown that a touch of vanilla gives the bar - it LOOKS healthy and smells sinfully delicious!
Our Rose Shea Butter Gardeners soap is made in our shea butter and cocoa butter hand soap recipe, with stoneground cornmeal grits for removing grime and oil, and scented with Rose.
Dear Karen, Hi there. I wanted to take the time to thank you for the samples of your soaps and I also wanted to tell you that I absolutely love the quilter’s hand repair soap. I particularly like the scent. I have introduced the soap to my cousin who said that she wants to buy it,also. I did write a brief thank you on my order form, but I wasn’t sure if you read it so I took this time to write. Thank you again. Sincerely,
