Welcome Here!

I'm so glad you are visiting my blog. My Grandfather would heartily say to you, "Welcome Here!", and so I welcome you! I am the soap maker for Greenfield Soap Co., and this blog is one way I hope to be available to friends and family and fans of Greenfield Soap Co.

Greenfield Soap Co. is dedicated to the memory of my grandparents, David and Kathrina, who lived well and simply in a small house. They laughed a lot and their gentleness was evident; I believe they learned to walk joyfully through life, with thanksgiving*...

My Grandmother did not teach me how to make soap, though she made it on a regular basis out of necessity years ago. I remember how youthful she looked; her skin was soft and creamy, and this has been a bit of a curiosity for me as I've experienced various skin sensitivities and troubles over the years. Thankfully, it is becoming clear that the chemically-based ingredients present in many modern day skincare products are detrimental, and in my own quest to find helpful products for sensitive skin, I've discovered the power and beauty of a simpler, more natural way.

And that is why I make Greenfield Soap Co.'s beautiful bars of soap thoughtfully and carefully, in small batches with naturally occurring and plant-based ingredients only. I do NOT use artificial colorings or synthetic preservatives or fragrances, and I make Greenfield Soap using the cold process method, so each bar retains glycerin, a naturally occurring moisturizer. Each bar of Greenfield Soap also contains a high percentage of olive oil for its moisturizing, healing, and gentle cleansing qualities. Coconut oil imparts a generous lathering quality, and palm oil helps to make the soap long-lasting and stable. It is my desire and joy to infuse each bar of Greenfield Soap with nature's aroma and conditioning qualities, and the results are beautiful bars of soap, gentle and sudsy and especially good for sensitive skin!

If you have questions or a special request or you wish to give a unique gift to honor a special occasion, please don't hesitate to communicate your ideas. I am willing to personalize labels, and I have some great gift-wrapping options as well. Just ask! Your feedback and suggestions are also important to me, so please stay in touch. I would love to hear from you about your Greenfield Soap experiences!

Do keep in my that soap likes to live "high and dry", so please keep your Greenfield Soaps in well-draining soap dishes throughout your home. And when you walk by or stop to lather up, may they be a reminder to you of good things. May you walk joyfully, with thanksgiving where you are, and
may all your showers be showers of blessing!
