About Us

Growing up amidst the lush farmlands of rural Kentucky, I had firsthand experience with homemade lye soap thanks to Mamaw Evelyn. Butchering season meant new batches, used for everything from the sink to laundry. Showering was a must after a day on the farm – dirty toes weren't allowed in Mamaw's bed!

The fresh smell and feel of that big cake of soap left a lasting impression. Inspired by this, I started making soap in 2002, beginning with Mamaw's hog lard lye soap, now known as "Homesteader" soap. Real soaps, made from plant, mineral, and animal-based oils, along with water and lye, provide natural nourishment and hydration to the skin.

Using real soap, free from detergents and fragrances, ensures healthy, itch-free skin. My journey expanded to crafting soaps for various skin conditions, from eczema to acne. Today, we offer a range of products with natural ingredients, therapeutic essential oils, and botanicals under the name "Essence of Eden."
