AbbyLou Soap Co. uses the old-fashioned cold process method of soap-making. All soap is hand poured with much care, making each bar unique, and with ingredients made from natures oils, butters, milks, and earth clays. AbbyLou soaps are also carefully scented with pure essential oils, but at times or at request will offer soaps with clean and carefully sourced fragrance oils, which will be clearly labeled with each soap ingredient list.

Soap making is an incredible art. First, Sodium Hydroxide is used to transform the oils and butters by a chemistry process called saponification. After the 24-48 hour immediate saponification process, your soap is carefully cut and allowed to rest for the curing phase. During this phase, the excess moisture in your soap will evaporate. Although the soap will shrink somewhat, it also allows the bars to become harder because the fatty acids used to make the soap become crystalized. This 4-6 week phase also enables the bars to last longer. Once fully cured, the bars are banded with their own special label and ready for you to enjoy.

AbbyLou Soap Co. believes in purpose, integrity, and transparency. I believe you must always serve with great intention and of course, a great deal of passion goes a long way. I focus on the details of each beautiful product I bring you. With each natural oil, butter, earth clay, and added scent, no soap is left unturned. If something is not working or needs a bit of a tweak, I rework it with hyper-focus. Perhaps it is the critical care nurse in me, but I believe life always demands a rebalance, and in business I believe it is just as critical. Lastly, transparency is a must. You will always know the ingredients in my products. Why? Because your trust and health matters! Every product AbbyLou offers contains detailed information to help you select the perfect product for your needs. Additionally, as you navigate around the site, you will see product reviews by Judge-Me. With this program, product reviews are unaltered and automatically generated to this site once you write them. These reviews not only help you with your decision-making, but help me to make changes if needed. In all, product reviews help to bring the AbbyLou business model together with purpose, integrity, and transparency. A beautiful balance.

Everything in life has a purpose. Down to the lemon in AbbyLou's logo, it has a purpose. Let me explain.

Sometimes life happens. The good, the bad, the painful, and the grieving in life all have a purpose. In my case, I experienced grief so strong, I thought it could finish and erase my mere existence. At this time I had made a choice to move forward and embrace the pain. Personally, I have always found great comfort in creating, but how could I gather all I love and am passionate about into one sweet package?

Enter, AbbyLou Soap Co. and life changed, by choice. My love for the beautiful natural elements in life is created in each new soap recipe. Whether it was a healing oil, a therapeutic butter, a reparative earth clay, or a medicinal essential oil, I was paralleling element properties I desperately longed for in my own life. Over time and by surprise, I began to heal, within. The sour in life once again became sweeter.

Enter, the lemon in the AbbyLou logo. The ever-so-gentle reminder the lemons in life will always make themselves known. It is your choice to sweeten those lemons and allow these times to mold and change you. Embrace it. Welcome to AbbyLou Soap Co.
