Living Simply Soap is a small business owned by the Brown family and located at 112 E. Main St. Tipp City, Ohio. The Brown's have always had an affection for the old fashioned make it yourself lifestyle so when Tanya Brown mentioned she would like to make homemade soap they were on board. On a snowy day in 2001 she gathered up her shortening, olive oil and lye to take on the challenge. She was instantly hooked. Using her family and friends as guinea pigs she spent the next several years learning the craft and experimented with formulas, fragrances and packaging. Her goal was to create a formula that would be conditioning yet still deliver tons of rich creamy lather, smell incredible, be affordable enough for everyday use and packaged beautifully enough for gift giving. In 2007, with her family's help, she was ready to introduce her product to the public. She set up a little stand at the local farmer's market in Tipp City, OH. The soaps were a huge hit and business has taken off from there. Tanya still enjoys selling soap at that farmer's market but now the Brown's are also selling soap from their soap shop and through their website, all over the country. �It�s important to me to create something special for our customers. I want our soaps to be conditioning, beautiful, smell incredible, and feel creamy and textured. The fact that our soap is handmade, with attention to every detail, adds a quality you cannot find in commercial products. In our fast paced lifestyle we can loose touch with the simple things. For me, making soap is a way to stay in touch with a simpler time and a simpler way of living. I love making soap and hope anyone that uses them feels that joy in each bar.� ~ Tanya
