IT STARTED WITH BAR SOAP
I’ve had itchy, sensitive skin for as long as I can remember. I used a particular commercial brand for most of my life, because it was the only soap that didn’t make me break out in a head to toe rash. In 2009, my mother bought me a big hunk of natural soap from Whole Foods for Christmas. It was amazing! It didn’t cause me to break out and my skin didn’t feel tight like the other soap always made it feel. Being a true do-it-yourself type, I started to research how soap was made. What went in it? What was the process? After reading books and watching videos online, I took soap making classes from another soap maker in the state. I spent about a year tinkering with recipes to create one that had all the properties I wanted. In 2011, I launched Nutmeg Naturals LLC, focusing primarily on soap and other body products.
