Because soap should be more than just functional!

View Full Description

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. Jennifer continues to study her craft and experiment with new designs. Her goal is to always make a great bar of soap that is also visually fun. 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. She prides herself in making high quality handmade soaps and bath products that leave customers always coming back for me. Jennifer sells her soaps and body products at many local farmers markets, craft fairs, and online. Jennifer has her Advance CP and MP Soap Making certification as well as her Teacher Certification offered through the Handmade Soap and Cosmetic Guild. She has been teaching soap since 2013.

Address:
210 S Main St
Goshen, IN 46526 United States

Specializing in buttermilk soaps, and bath and body products. Online, wholesale, private label, custom manufacturing, recipe development, corporate gifts, favors, beer soap, wine soap

View Full Description

We are an independent boutique shop and manufacturer in Goshen, Indiana, specializing in handcrafted soap and body care products made in our workshop. We strive to be a cozy, welcoming place and our soap lines reflect that.


Unlike other similar stores and businesses, we choose not to market our soaps as “beauty” products. We believe that everyone is beautiful and refuse to profit from letting our customers think otherwise.


We make our products with premium ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado oil. We never use palm oil or oils that can contain GMOs like soy, canola, or corn oil.


We make and carry three house brands: Soapy Gnome, Dandewilde Affirmation, and Kettle Lake Forest.


We sell direct to consumer at our website. SoapyGnome.com.


Wholesale customers can purchase from our direct link on Faire or from our wholesale site.


Soapy Gnome can help you with your private label and custom manufacturing needs.


Services we provide:

  • Private label soaps with our recipes and scent combos.
  • Private label soaps with your provided recipes and scent combos.
  • Recipe development.
  • Beer soap, wine soap, tea soap, coffee soap, honey soap, etc.


Private label is only available to licensed resellers.


Private label soaps with our recipes and scent combos.

Choose soaps that we currently have in stock from our wholesale line and we will create a custom label for you. One time design fee applies for label design. Minimum order 144 soaps.


Private label soaps with custom scent and color combos. 


Brewery, wine, tea, cider, honey, etc. private label soaps.

You provide the liquid from your business and we create a soap based on the flavor profile. We've had great success creating brewed soaps for various businesses. We've made soaps for breweries, wineries, and tea companies. It's a fun, consumable item to sell as part of your merch. Soapy Gnome would love to partner with you to make custom beer soaps, custom wine soaps, custom cider soap or custom tea soap.


Set your brand apart from the rest with a fully customized soap recipe!

If you would like to develop a soap line as part of your brand, we recommend this option so that you will own your soap recipe as our recipes are proprietary. Recipe development starts at $600 and includes sample batches to test. Minimums are 144 soaps per scent. The recipe development charge is a one-time fee. 


Cost per bar depends on the ingredients you use. If you use all organic oils, specialty oils, expensive essential oils, etc. the cost will be higher. In general, these prices will reflect comparable wholesale pricing.


Developing specialty products in collaboration with brands is our favorite thing to do. It's a lot of fun! We love bringing our expertise and combining it with your expertise to create something better than either of us could have done alone!

Telluride, CO 81435 United States

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.
