We are a home based, woman-owned business that began out of Susan’s need for natural products for her own skin care issues. After the birth of her son she began having problems with eczema. She went the conventional route (doctor and cortisone cream) without much result. However, after using a natural product to shave with on her legs, her eczema definitely improved. It impressed on her how important it is what you put on your skin.
She decided to start making some of her own skin care products as well as soap. The local health food store where she was buying her supplies wanted to sell her soaps in their store and the rest as they say was history. Today Susan’s Soaps & More makes a complete line of products that include soaps, solid shampoo bars, body scrubs, face care, gift and holiday soaps, massage oils and even pet care. Our products are solid online and in stores across the US and even internationally.
We make all of our products ourselves from formulas created by Susan. We have a commitment to quality and the discovery that started the journey: all-natural skin care products are good for you and your skin. Susan also tries to not only give to her customers the best products we possibly can but also tries to give back both to the earth and to her community.
We use no artificial fragrances, colorants or preservatives. We use no animal fats and no petroleum products and do no animal testing. Many of our products are even vegan. We use pure essential oils so our products are true aromatherapy. They are healing to your body and soothing to your soul.
We recycle all packaging materials possible and all of our own products when possible. For example trimmings from our soap blocks are made into samples that we give away to our customers.
Our employees, so far, have always been women who are either moms with school age children or women of retirement age looking for part-time work. Although we can’t provide large salaries we endeavor to provide flexible working hours that can allow them to pick up kids and grandkids from school as well as acknowledging that family comes first whenever they need time off. Being a small business we recognize that everyone is a person with a life away from the business. We operate as a team while working but try to respect each person’s individuality and personal needs.
No two soap maker’s soaps will be exactly alike just as no two artist’s work is exactly alike. We invite you to experience Susan’s Soaps & More and discover for yourself the quality and differences that make her products truly one of a kind.
