How our story began
It all started with a little breeze…
Growing up on farms all over the South, I spent my days outside, running through fields, picking wildflowers, and soaking in the beauty of nature. I was captivated by their colors, textures, and scents—each one a little piece of inspiration. And from those southern fields, my journey began.
As a teenager, I struggled to find beauty products that worked for me. Most perfumes and fragrances triggered awful migraines and rashes. One day, sitting by our pond, I breathed in the crisp scent of pine on the breeze and thought, Why can’t I put this into a bar of soap? I knew that long before me, pioneers had crafted their own essentials using nature’s bounty. So, I grabbed my sketchbook and made a list of my favorite plants on the farm—lavender, pine, peppermint, rosemary—then got to work researching.
I started making small batches of soap using only organic ingredients: safflower oil, sunflower oil, sustainably sourced palm oil, and the finest organic essential oils. I infused them with dried herbs and botanicals, filling my mom’s kitchen with fresh, earthy aromas. For the first time, I had a product I could use without fear of breakouts or irritation. My goal was simple: to create a bar of soap that nourished the skin rather than harming it. Each bar is crafted not just to cleanse but to heal—gently, naturally, and effectively.
Every batch is handmade with care, using 100% natural, certified organic ingredients sourced from southern fields and their farmers. Once poured, the soaps are hand-cut, stamped, and left to cure for six weeks. When they’re just right, I personally wrap and package each bar, ready to bring a little bit of nature into your home.
We like to say there’s a little love in every bar. My hope is that when you pick one up, you smile—knowing you’re supporting local farmers, choosing a product that’s safe for you, and making a choice that’s kind to our planet. 💜
With Love,
