One day I realized my skin felt dirty. The “soap” I was using was not getting me clean. I went to the grocery store to seek a product called “soap”…not “cleanser” or “beauty bar” or “body wash”. I found “soap” then read the ingredients and found soap was merely an ingredient. I wanted Soap without all the chemicals added. I researched soap and discovered not only could I make it — I LOVE MAKING SOAP! I love researching the benefits of the various natural ingredients (including amazing essential oils) on skin. I love the beauty of handcrafted soap and how incredibly clean and moisturized my skin feels when I use it. I love the uniqueness of each small batch of soap I create and love sharing these incredible products through El’s Handcrafted Soap products! Every El’s Handcrafted Soap bar is unique because it is made in small batches. Every ingredient has been selected because of its quality and incredible benefits to your skin so it feels clean and moisturized. Variety is a key component in the making of El’s Handcrafted Soap — Every handcrafted bar has a unique design, colors, fragrance (phthalate and paraben free), oils, butters, natural ingredients and […]

About the owner Starting my professional career as an elementary school teacher, to being a full time stay at home mom, then back into the workforce in my latter years, I am constantly being challenged and learning new skills.
