SIGN IN FOR FASTER CHECKOUT
With so many new — and plenty of familiar! — faces around here, we wanted to take a moment to share the story and mission behind Bend Soap Company. Here’s a little back-story to fill you in on where Bend Soap Company started and what’s happened over the years, as written by our Co-Founder, Marilee.
Watching a child suffer is so hard. As Dwight and I watched our son struggle with his eczema, we searched for a product that would help with his pain and itching. When no product was found in the stores, our research led us back to our very own farm.
We learned that fresh goat milk was rich in nutrients. Looking at our goats, we wondered… Could soap made with this milk be the answer to our son’s eczema
True, there were already plenty of soaps to choose from, but we discovered they are laced with toxins and junk! The more labels we read, the more we felt like lab rats who were slowly being poisoned.
“We need a pure soap!” Dwight proclaimed.
Keeping the ingredients simple and pure, he handcrafted his own bar.
Each day our son soaked in a bath of this pure, nutrient-rich soap, and before we knew it, his pain and itching were gone! We were so encouraged by the results, we made more soap and shared it with family, friends, bank tellers... Anyone who was interested.
The word spread and people started asking for more, and more soap. A small family farm business began and the soap was sold at craft shows up and down the west coast.
Wherever we went we always had travel soaps to share. Soon more natural products joined the soaps as we worked to provide natural solutions for more of our skincare needs.
The soap has not changed over the years, for its all-natural goodness is precious. As we grow, we choose not to compromise on the quality of the ingredients, for what goes on our skin is too great of importance to be careless.
To those who give our products a try, we hope you enjoy. It is our mission to make these products available to all. We want you to LOVE your skin… One bar at a time!
Welcome to the Bend Soap Co. family!

My husband and I were tired of the body washes we’d been using. Our skin always felt so dry and itchy after we would shower. We wanted to try something that was chemical free and kinder to our skin. I saw your company on Facebook and was really interested in trying your product so I placed an order. We love it and we are hooked on your goat milk soap! I love receiving it as much as I love using it. The package it comes in is so lovely! It makes us feel spoiled and pampered. We love the complimentary travel size you always generously send us too. You really care about the products you make and sell, as well as the customers who use them. Thanks so much for making products we can trust!
I saw an ad on Facebook for your products. I decided to try goats milk soap because I have excema on the palm of my hand. I currently am using the peppermint goats milk now and love it. I also bought the goats milk soap that makes the foamy bath. I enjoy both of your products very much. I can’t wait to try some more of your products very soon.
I first discovered your products when I was looking for goat milk soap and body lotion. My granddaughter has eczema and I was looking for something other than chemical ointments that doctors were suggesting. After reading articles about the wonders of goat milk products. I discovered your products which I love and have helped her eczema. I love it for what it does for my skin it , has made it softer and I love the lather its heavenly. I will never go back to regular bar soap with ingredients that you can’t pronounce let alone know what they are.
Bend Soap products are truly the best goat milk products on the market today. I’ve tried many other brands and Bend won hands down. The company’s quality, purity and commitment to providing a truly natural product is outstanding.🏅My family will use nothing else now.❤
I first tried Bend soaps because I have really dry skin in the winter and my skin is exposed to the outside elements year round due to I do an 84 mile rural mail route and have for almost 15 years. I struggle with multiple skin issues due to an auto immune disorder. Ive tried all kinds of prescriptions. Without any success and one day I was reading some notes in my grandmothers old cook book, she was very much into pure natural homeopathic things all her life. In her book were notations of things she used over the years to cure different things. Goats milk soap was mentioned for several things, like dry cracking hands, dry flaky scalp, babies with sensitive skin and so on so I started out with a local goat milk soap, it helped but I still continued looking gor that one that was 100% natural and high quility ingredients. Then I seen your ad on facebook about your soap and your sons eczema. I thought what can it hurt to try it….nothing. So I ordered 4 different bars. Well I fell in love with it, and started buying your oyther products too ! I absolutely love your products. I no lobger even look at others. Thank you for giving me my life back. No more itchy dry flaky scalp that left my shirts coated in dry unattractive skin. Thank you to you and your family for all you do to help others live a hestheir and vleaner life style.
