My venture into soap making started as a way to provide quality bath products for my family. My son & husband both have Keratosis Pilaris and soaps and lotions that were advertised as moisturizing and nourishing just...weren't. Not only did I take great joy in the process of making it, but the results were far better than I could've expected. There was a noticeable difference in the feel of our sk
in and I knew that could never go back to store-bought soap. I set out to discover why the quality of handcrafted soap was so much better than commercial bath products. What I found was quite a shock. I had been using synthetic detergents all my life! The traditional method of soap making allows conditioning oils and butters, like palm oil, olive oil and shea butter (just to name a few) to be naturally saponified into a cleansing bar with a silky lather while still retaining their naturally moisturizing properties. True soap is such an unexpected luxury and something that can be difficult to find in our area. All of my products are made locally here in Kingsport. I'm truly excited to be able to bring some new (actually, an ancient art) to the table through The Vestige Market Soap Company. In addition to high quality, luxury soaps, I look forward to offering handcrafted lotions, balms, butters, scrubs and much more. I have big plans for VMSC, including custom "catering," spa party bundles and providing natural alternatives to those sensitive to commercial bath products. Join me in this exciting project by choosing to buy local for your luxury bath items. Currently, Vestige Market products will be sold exclusively through Ink Revolution Studios.
