Why choose "handmade soap"?

Simply, once experienced, you never want to go back to regular soap! Our customers say this over and over again!

Here at Simply Soap in San Diego, CA, we're hand-stirring new life into this ancient craft, lost to 20th century + generations who sadly, only grew up with modern detergent bars...not true soap.  We craft soap cakes of premium pure ingredients with artisan flair!  YOU RINSE TRULY CLEAN! Think of us as your (on-line) village soapmaker...made in the USA, and ALL done personally by hand, no machines...just our own caring hands, each and every batch! Cruelty free - no animal testing with our soap, nor are any ingredients tested (certifiably) on animals by our ingredient suppliers independent of our own manufacturing. And, we function in as green a manner as possible!

Call me a "rebel", but in an ever-complicated world racing to outsource & find short-cuts to make products ...I take a stand and do a complete reversal! I do things THE OLD FASHIONED WAY--deliberately, from start (choosing each ingredient), to finish (hand-packing your order personally). It may take longer, and each piece produced hold a lil' piece of me in it, so yes, call me a throwback...but I do take pride in my methods, and hope to never let them become extinct. I hope you find pleasure in re-connecting with "the old ways" as well, and make them your new ways! I've been in-business for seventeen years because so many of you have discoverd the pleasure in what I make and embrace it over and over again!

Most companies become known for how they brand themselves with a certain catch-phrase, theme or style. We have become known for not following that business protocol and NOT branding with any one special schtick, as is reflected in the many specialty lines of soaps we've developed over the years, meeting customer needs & requests! And this has opened a world of doors for us! We derive as much pleasure and sense of purpose to be creating product for cancer patients with extremely delicate chemo skin, to teenagers seeking fun and fabulous bath soaps, to high-end gifts, special herbal intentions, and every skin type and gift need you can imagine. We are the soapmaker behind many, many unique private label brand soaps in some of your favorite soap shoppes and boutiques today! Thank you, and thanks for visiting us here at our home site!
