About Me
Artisanal soaps were initially an affordable way to treat myself and indulge in life's little luxuries. However, when the coronavirus pandemic began, the artist in me was searching for a new creative outlet. Fortunately, I happened upon an article about handcrafted soaps and a lightbulb went on in my head.
After many months of research and gathering the necessary supplies and equipment, I felt ready for my first attempt at making cold-process soap. I was instantly hooked. Over the last year, I made a variety of soaps, expressing my creativity through scents, colors, and learning new techniques. The possibilities were endless and Scents of Thyme was born.
My relationship with soap became so much more than a hobby, a pastime, or an opportunity for self-care. It helped me cope with a time of uncertainty, fear, and stress while doing something that brings me joy and satisfaction. And it has been the most gratifying to hear when others are enjoying my soapy creations, too. I’m very excited to share my handcrafted artisanal soaps with you because you deserve something beautiful. Happy Bathing!
About The Brand
Scents of Thyme artisanal soaps are lovingly handcrafted in small batches using ingredients that are nourishing to the skin. Every recipe is formulated with a high concentration of conditioning properties to provide a luxurious and rich lather, preventing that dry, tight skin feeling you can get after using commercial soap. My goal is to use good-for-you ingredients inside and out. Scents of Thyme soaps are all vegan, except for those that contain goat milk and honey which are vegetarian.
I only use oils that have nourishing qualities, including olive oil, coconut oil, sustainably sourced palm oil, castor oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, argan oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter. Each soap contains a specially created blend of extra ‘goodies’ to enhance your bathing experience, such as activated charcoal, a variety of clays, goat milk powder, organic coconut milk, beer, coffee, honey, or other natural exfoliants. All soaps are scented with either essential oils or phthalate-free fragrance oils and colored with natural clays, oil infusions of botanicals and spices, or skin-safe mica colorants. No detergents or preservatives are added. Each bar of soap is hand cut and cured for six weeks. Due to the process of handcrafting cold process soap, there are slight variations in the design and weight of each bar. Every bar is truly unique, as you are.
*Custom orders are available by the loaf (10 bars).
