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!

I ordered the beard salve and comb for my nephew for Christmas and ordered the sample pack of soap for myself. He loves the salve and comb and I’m down to 2 bars of the soap. I will definitely be ordering more in a few weeks. Thanks so much for great products!!!

I bought your soap for my grandson who has eczema. He has had it from the day he was born and it has only gotten worse through the years, especially when he is on the grassy field playing sports. His eczema has literally cleared up, and we have you to thank for it! No more toxic creams and prescriptions for him!
Being an eczema sufferer myself, your story resonated with me and I decided I would try your soap myself. It’s great knowing you use ‘pure’ ingredients. Thanks for making this awesome soap! I love it and so does my skin!
I wanted something natural that feels good and combined with essential oils made this a thing I definitely wanted to try.
I think I saw the add on my fb feed. Glad I did.
My husband & I love your products! Your story was one I could relate to as a mom. We live in the Phoenix area and the low humidity and desert heat dries our skin out, making it dry and itchy. We found that your soap has helped with that issue year round for us. No soap scum build up in the shower was an added bonus! Thank you for all the lovely scents, too. We take it with us when we travel. Wonderful products!
