My venture into soapmaking began when my son was diagnosed with severe eczema before he was 6 months old. We were able to determine that he had severe allergies that were causing his outbreaks. My husband and I had made a commitment for me to be a full time caregiver to our children, and while I was home with my preschool aged children I began researching ingredients to produce our own soaps and skin care products. Our business was born of this research, and it has enabled me to be home with my children full time, as well as my husband to join our business once he finished his enlistment with the military.
