Hi there! My name is Deb and that's my husband Mike. I am a soapmaker among other things, but mainly <----get it? Mainely Soap...I just love to make soap. Mike doesn't make any products (yet) but he makes all my molds, cutters, soap dishes, and displays and he totally supports everything I do. He keeps me sane! Tough job, but someone's got to do it, right?

Mainely Soap is a small family owned business started in 2003 from an obsession with soapmaking and other bath and body concoctions. The house began to fill up with huge amounts of soap and creams and balms, and not enough family and friends to share it all with. That and the fact that our skin felt so much better and softer and we wanted to help others experience the same thing. It also helps to earn money for supplies in order to keep doing what we love. And when I say 'love' I mean it. It makes such a difference in one's life when you have a passion for what you are doing. Mainely Soap has made a difference in our lives and we would like to make a difference in yours.

Located in the beautiful state of Maine, we try to get as many supplies locally as we can. Lots of dairy farms for our fresh goat milk soaps and an abundance of land for growing herbs and flowers. It is important to us that we use the freshest ingredients possible to make our products. There are situations when it is impossible to locate a local source for an ingredient. An example would be shea butter. We only purchase our shea butter from Fair Trade companies. The women in Africa who make the shea are the ones who get paid for it. There are other exotic oils and butters that we just can't get locally but we try in every instance possible to support our local companies first, which means better prices for you because eliminating shipping charges lowers our cost to produce.

We hope you give our products a try and love them as much as we do. Our focus will be on our customers and we will do our best to make you happy.

Thank you so much for visiting Mainely Soap!
