Meet the Maker
” My new handmade soap “hobby” has turned into quite an addiction 🙂 A dear friend introduced me to making my own soap and I’m so grateful to her for sharing this wonderful craft.
Initially, I wanted to make my own soap to give away to family and friends (which they love!). However, once I experienced the benefits of using homemade soap and how it felt on my skin, I knew I needed to learn how to market to a broader audience and share all the lovely benefits.
My husband and I live in Courtenay on Vancouver Island and with the ocean, in our backyard, I wanted to incorporate what’s in the sea into my homemade soap.
My signature seaweed and sea salt soap “Friendly Fishermen” is abundant in minerals, including magnesium, calcium, and potassium, and sea salt is a super-efficient cleanser, absorbing dirt and toxins and bringing natural antibacterial properties to your skin. Along with my signature seaweed and sea salt soap, I also incorporate other nourishing ingredients into my soap including, colloidal oatmeal, kaolin clay, and calendula extract. They contain simple and few naturally sourced ingredients, sustainably sourced.
People are becoming more mindful of what they put on their skin, and it’s very rewarding and satisfying when you share something you love to do knowing you can make a difference in someone’s life.
When researching the ingredients that go into my soap it’s also important to find products that are ethically produced and eco-friendly. I’m still learning, and truthfully, amazed sometimes that I’m creating a product people love to use! “
