The Soap Shed makes 130 varieties of handmade soap including natural soap, herbal soap, 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 lye soap for several years before making it! Handmade lye soap has been eagerly sought here for the wide-ranging uses revered and shared via word of mouth through generations of Southerners: eleviating the itch and rash of poison ivy, cleaning clothes, or repelling bores in dogwood trees. Because they recognized and valued handmade soap, our efforts to create handmade vegetable oil soap or handmade goat milk soap were well received, and The Soap Shed has grown and prospered.
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.
The package arrived. Thanks so much. I could not be more pleased and have already told the members of my old quilt guild from when I lived in Colorado all about you. I will be telling all the women that I teach beginning quilting to here in Michigan all about you. The Quilters Hand Repair Gift set met all my expectations and more. It is on its way to my Secret sister, I have shared a bar of my personal stash with a dear friend and know of one other friend who will appreciate a bar as well.
You have made a loyal customer. Thanks for the samples, great service and a great product. Best wishes and continued success.
