The Full Story
ABOUT OUR SOAP
I began creating my own soap in the winter of 2019 after being gifted a handmade bar by one of my student’s parents. I was immediately inspired and delved into the world of soapmaking. I chose the cold process method, spending countless hours watching tutorials, reading soapmaking books and researching the properties of oils, clays and other natural ingredients to craft a high-quality bar of soap. During my research, I discovered the harmful chemicals and additives often found in store-bought soap, which motivated me to create SaThree Rivers Soap. My mission was to produce all-natural, cruelty-free and chemical-free soaps that prioritize both quality and sustainability. I began growing my own herbs and flowers, incorporating them into my creations. Over time, I mastered making soap with unique ingredients like beer, wine, cider, teas and plant-based milks, focusing on moisturizing formulations to clean and heal dry or eczema-prone skin. As the years have passed, the quality and artistry of my soaps have continued to evolve. I now use more ingredients sourced directly from our small farm in Three Rivers, OR or from my parents’ farm and orchard in Bryte, California. The dream for SaThree Rivers Soap is to provide high-quality, affordable bars crafted with care and locally grown ingredients. My goal is for every customer to fall in love with the quality of our soap and feel the love, dedication, and sustainability that goes into every bar.
OUR MISSION
At SaThree Rivers Soap, we recognize that the skin is the body's largest organ and absorbs everything applied to it. Our mission is to nourish and hydrate your skin while preserving its natural oils and balance. We are committed to using only the finest ingredients, which is why we never include chemicals or artificial fragrances in our soaps. Our approach is simple and pure: we use high-quality oils, butters, dried herbs, flowers, and essential oils. To ensure the highest standards of quality, we grow most of our herbs, flowers, and botanicals on our farm, sourcing locally when necessary to bring you the best nature has to offer.
OUR PACKAGING
At SaThree Rivers Soap, we are dedicated to being an environmentally responsible company. While we understand that beautifully wrapped and packaged soap can be appealing, we believe that the focus should be on the quality of the soap itself. All packaging, no matter how attractive, ultimately ends up in a landfill. That's why we choose to wrap our soaps in recycled paper and create each label in-house, knowing that these items will eventually be discarded. We purchase our raw materials in bulk to minimize packaging waste and make a conscious effort to source from suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability.
