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.
Our Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil lip balm is just as delicious as it is moisturizing! Available in Unflavored, Brandied Pear, Mountain Mint, Lemon Cheesecake and Chai Tea.
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.
I found you several years ago when my motorcycle club was traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway. I came into your store to buy a gift for my girlfriend, but ended up buying a bunch of your men;s soap for myself. You have even more manly soaps on your web site now, the best selection of soap for men on the Internet. I think the reason my girlfriend - who is now my wife - encourages me to go on my week with the guys every Summer is because she knows I’ll be stopping at your place, and bringing her back more soap! Hope to visit the Blue Ridge - and you - again this summer.
