Outdoor inspired soaps. Handmade with love and created with stories behind the soaps.
View Full Description
My soaps are all outdoor inspired. A tribute to my late husband James Brown (JB), co-founder of Cowboy Soap Company. Soap is a blend of liquid artistry and evocative scents, each crafted to awaken memories and emotions. Many of them carry stories of their own, created in tribute to JB’s legacy and the magic he brought through his storytelling.

Because soap should be more than just functional!
View Full Description
Jennifer Hofmann is the owner of Jennifer’s Handmade Soap based in Ayer, MA. The endless design possibilities captured her love for soapmaking. “Soap should be more than just functional” sums up her stance on soap! Color and design guide everything she does.
Jennifer has been making soap since 2009 where she fell into it by accident. Once she made her first batch of soap she found she couldn’t stop. She was fascinated by the science of soap making, but it was the design possibilities that captured her love for soap making. In 2012 Jennifer officially started Jennifer’s Handmade Soap. Jennifer continues to study her craft and experiment with new designs. She’s learned a lot, but there’s so much more still to learn and she knows she’ll be a soap student for life.
Jennifer’s goal is to always make a great bar of soap (or bath product) that is also visually fun. Her business tag line is: “Because soap should be more than just functional.”Color and design guide everything she does—from products to label design it has to have color and it has to make people smile.
Her soaps are visually appealing, but also natural, gentle, and moisturizing. She makes a range of bath products from balms, scrubs, butters, and facial items to help all skin types, to soothe, and to moisturize. She prides herself in making high quality handmade soaps and bath products that leave customers always coming back for more.(www.jennifersoap.com)
Jennifer has dedicated herself to learning her craft and has passed the Soap Guilds master test (a two year test encompassing all aspects of soap making) to receive her Masters CP/HP Soap Making certification. She is also a HSCG certified teacher.

Handcrafted Skin Care Products and Aromatherapy Candles. Smart by Nature is committed to making handcrafted products that are wonderful for our skin and are environmentally responsible. Products are made with natural and/or organic ingredients.
View Full Description
Nestled in Southwestern Colorado, scenic Telluride should be on everyone’s “bucket list.” This idyllic mountain community became our inspiration for abandoning the high stress of corporate life and branch out to focus on taking care of ourselves and helping others do the same. Not surprisingly, Telluride offered many opportunities to learn more about natural ingredients with input from like-minded artisans and handcrafters.
Previous work with a mid-size skin care company led us to discover how difficult it is to adequately eliminate harsh chemical preservatives and synthetics from sourced ingredients and base products. Locating labs willing to formulate without these additives was difficult. It became clear that working in-house on a smaller scale was essential to bringing authentic, truly natural products to market.
Hence, Smart By Nature was born. Starting with small batch soaps and evolving into a full line of bath and body products, our company is inspired by nature and passionate about sustainability and reducing environmental impacts.
