As we close out 2025, we're reflecting on a year of small-batch soapmaking, sustainable ingredients, and the customers who trusted us to care for their skin naturally.
This year, we featured three exceptional soaps—each crafted to cleanse without stripping, nourish without synthetic additives, and bring a moment of peace to your daily routine. Here's a look back at the soaps that defined our year.

- Purpose-driven formulas - Each soap addresses specific skin needs

What We Learned This Year
Seasonal needs are real. From the anti-aging focus of winter to the soothing needs of summer, your skin's requirements change throughout the year. Our rotating soap selection honored that rhythm.
Small batches mean better quality. Making soap fresh, in limited quantities, ensures you get a product at its peak potency. No preservatives, no sitting in warehouses—just pure, effective skincare.
Looking Ahead to 2026
We're entering the new year with the same commitment to handcrafted quality and ingredient integrity. Expect new seasonal soaps, returning favorites, and the same dedication to formulas that actually work.
