About Jimmie
Hey, I'm Jimmie.
My journey began in the summer of 2022, driven by the desire to create a soap that not only leaves you feeling impeccably clean but also envelops you in delightful scents that linger on your skin throughout the day. Our soaps are made from raw ingredients, harnessing the nourishing benefits of natural oils and butters your skin craves.
Using the traditional cold-process method, each bar is infused with natural exfoliants and vibrant colors from mica powder, a pure, mined mineral. We also offer luxurious options featuring Activated Charcoal and Kaolin Clay, providing deep cleansing and revitalizing benefits. Experience the joy and indulgence of our natural soaps, and let your skin thrive—just as my family and I have. Enjoy a cleaner, healthier, and more radiant you!
