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 have sensitive skin that, for years, required me to use baby bath. Kept hearing about how good goat milk soap is for your skin, especially sensitive skin like mine. Gave it a try and never looked back. I have now officially gave gift sets to everyone in my family, now we’re all hooked. Also, youngest grandson has eczema really bad on his legs and feet, this soap is the only thing that’s helped keep it under control. Thanks Bend Soap Company, keep the good stuff coming. God’s Blessings Always. 😊
I came across your ad on Facebook & read your story an was very intrigued. I have 2 grandsons & a daughter who have eczema & I wanted to try it because I’m always looking for homemade products that are all natural. Needless to say I used the soap & lotion on my hands as soon as I received it and it made my hands so soft & smooth. I also tried the lip balm which also felt good. But the best test was when I used the soap in the shower my skin was so soft I didn’t even have to put any lotion on which made me so happy! I love your products & will definitely be ordering more. I can’t wait to have the grandkids & my daughter use it! I also got the deodorant & love it! Thanks for inventing this line of products! I will be telling everyone I know about your amazing products!
We started using the oatmeal and honey soap because my husband had some dry skin on his ankles and they would itch and break open. After using the soap his skin started to clear up and he also used the lotion to help with the dryness and keep it from itching. The skin is cleared up but we liked the soap so much we continue to buy it! I even gave my daughter in law a bar to use one her eczema and she now buys your soap too!
One day I was scrolling down my social media feed and came across the Bend Soap ad. Looked at the reviews and said let me give it a try. My family has been using your products ever since. I also started making my own laundry soap with the oatmeal bath, and aside from the fact that it saves me money on the long run. My skin is not breaking out in Hives because of the store bought laundry detergent. Thank you for having a great customer service experienced and I will continue to order.
I have used goats milk soap for years from another vendor. They decided to go in a different direction, and stopped making soap. I searched for another source, and found Bend. I am happy that I did!
