Beauty by Francesca

Beauty by Francesca is a California-based handmade soap and natural skincare company founded by Francesca Thomas, a certified soapmaker, skincare formulator, and HSCG Certified Soapmaking Instructor with more than 14 years of hands-on experience.

Francesca creates small-batch handmade soap and skincare products using thoughtfully selected ingredients, with a focus on ingredient transparency, quality, and practical everyday self-care. Beauty by Francesca offers handmade soaps, body butters, lotions, scrubs, bath products, lip care, facial products, and gifts.

Education is also an important part of the Beauty by Francesca brand. Francesca teaches cold process soapmaking, melt and pour soapmaking, skincare and body care workshops, private classes, and group experiences. Her teaching style focuses on helping students understand not only how to make a product, but why each ingredient, technique, and step matters.

Through both her products and classes, Francesca's goal is to make handmade soap and natural skincare approachable, enjoyable, and accessible to people who want to better understand what they use on their skin or learn how to create products of their own.
