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 Slope Soap protects your facial skin, whether you're walking through the woods or whistling down the ski slopes. Scented with grapefruit and bergamot for an icy, wintery scent.
Our Snickerdoodle Goat Milk soap is sweetened with rich caramel and a bit of buttercream, base notes of Cocoa and Vanilla, and topped off with just a hint of Nutmeg and Pralines for that scent of just-baked goodness.
How did Scarlett O'Hara conquer Rhett Butler and every man in Dixie? Could be the irresistable southern scents of magnolia, gardenia, and a touch of rose in this soap.
Scented with 100% Tea Tree Essential Oil, our Tea Tree Soap is a natural anti-bacterial soap to be used on minor cuts and scrapes, acne-prone skin, or as a deodorant or foot soap.
When we found a scent blend that recreates that 70s classic shampoo, 'Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific', we couldn't pass it up in a handmade shampoo bar of our own.
