As a girl, I was intrigued
by my Grandmothers' stories of making their own handmade soap back in the 1930's. "Lye Soap,"
they called it. I was amazed that my Grandmas actually made soap... I was only familiar with the "store-bought"
soap that we used at home.
As an adult I became a fan of handmade soap, and wanted to learn more about the
soapmaking process. I did some research and decided to try my hand at it. (I'll be the first to admit that
my initial batch of handmade soap was less than ideal!)
I kept at it, modified my recipe quite a
few times and soon produced some pretty nice soaps. I gave my them to family members and friends to try, and
to my surprise they were soon coming back for more! They loved how it made their skin feel: "moisturized" and
"really soft" were words I heard again and again.
I decided to make my soap available to the public, and
Heirloom Soapworks was born.
I love soapmaking, and I personally test each batch of
soap to maintain the fabulous quality Heirloom Soapworks has become known for. I hope you'll try a
bar or two, and experience the difference for yourself!
Not sure which handmade soap is right for you?
