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 son has very sensitive skin. He is 22 and breaks out in a rash after he shaves.
I thought I would try your soap. My son LOVES your soap. He doesn’t break out after shaving. He is satisfied which makes me happy.
Thank you for your soap..
I think I first heard about your company from Jennifer on The Daily Connoisseur YouTube channel. I wanted to try goat milk soap and ordered some from you. My family all really likes it. My grandson calls it fancy soap. I appreciate that you use safe, natural ingredients.
I started using your soap, lotion and lip balm do to dry skin living in Arizona especially dry itchy legs. I’m a nurse in on my feet a lot wearing compression stockings knee-high stockings and they’re very drying to the lower leg your soap is made a big difference in my skin. I give it to everyone for gifts my daughter is now using it and my best friend who son has a bad case of eczema with stage four liver disease he even likes it.
We found Bend Soap online when we still lived in the U.S. We loved it and continued to purchase it when we moved to Germany. The water here in Germany is very harsh and the oatmeal soap and been a true blessing. We’ve tried lots of your products and love them all. My husband especially loves the lotion. There are so many companies that no longer ship to an APO address, so we really appreciate Bend Soap continuing to ship here.
I love your goat milk soap! A few years ago, it popped up on my feed, and we’ve been using it since then! It’s very creamy and great to shave your legs with too!😊
