I've been busy making soap all summer and have been selling samples and full-size bars to various customers. My Goat Milk Soap is now at three farmer's markets and my beer soap will be at the new Tröegs facility in Hershey. If you are interested in trying any of my all natural soap, let me know and I'll bring some along when I see you.
Soaps that are available in stores are really detergents. The ingredients list is full of chemicals and the "soap" strips the skin of all natural oils. Handmade soap is much more gentle to the skin and are a healthy option to the harsh bars in the grocery store.
I use all vegetable oils in the old fashioned, traditional method of soap-making. These bars are superfatted to give your skin a clean feeling with plenty of moisturizing oils. My soaps lather nicely and are great at the kitchen sink, guest bathroom or for your daily shower! The ones with additives such as ground coffee beans, oatmeal, or spent brewer's grain add an exfoliant for a fresh feel. All fragrances are from pure essential oils (EO). Some soaps are unscented for a more natural bar.
Full-sized bars are all $4. I do have $1 and $2 sample sizes of some of the soaps. Read the list below and let me know if something interests you.

I have been making my own soap since 1999 and specialize in cold process bath & body bars. This blog will help me to record my new soapmaking efforts and share them with you. All soaps are available for purchase.
About Me

- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
