About Us

We made the bar we couldn’t find.

I’m Phillip (1991). My wife Sierra (1993) and I moved from humid Brooklyn to dry-ass Bend with very different skin. Her skin is dry and sensitive, mine is oily and resistant. But even Bend dried me out. We kept buying soap that cleaned fine and left us both reaching for lotion before we’d toweled off.

We complained about it to my sister Sky (1989). She’s been making her own shampoo, deodorant, and supplements for years. She told us big soap brands strip your skin on purpose. They extract the glycerin during production and sell it back as lotion. The shower makes the problem. The cabinet sells the fix.

Then she taught us how to make soap.

We went through our family’s and friends’ gardens for ingredients. We made our first bar. Then a second. Eventually six different kinds.

We wanted to sell them. Making them for ourselves was fine. Making them at scale wasn’t.

So we found a small cold-process soapmaker. Rainforest Alliance certified, member of the Organic Trade Association, twenty years doing this. They suggested adjustments, we said yes. Now they hand-pour each batch matching Sky’s spec, cure it the slow way, and ship the finished bars to us in Bend. We package them, send them out, and run the brand.

The bars are crafted. We’re the people who decided what crafted means here.

We don’t make wellness promises. We don’t fix you. Comfort in your own skin shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be how showering already works.

Lose the grime. Keep your shine.

— Phillip, Sierra, and Sky
