Premium
handcrafted soap
At Union Street Soapworks, we believe that washing with soap
should be a rewarding experience. We've taken soap back to the
way it should be, using quality ingredients like vegetable-based
oils and pure essential oils. If you're looking for an extraordinary
cleansing experience, we've got just the soap for you. |
Whatever have I been washing with?
You really want to know? Ok...brace yourself. A little history:
prior to World War II, soap was made the old-fashioned way,
with lye and fat, usually lard. A shortage of raw materials
during the war had forced manufacturers to switch to
detergents and artificial moisturizers. Soon after, these
low-cost, soap-like substances replaced real soap altogether.
Don't believe us? Just read the label. |

We're not impressed with
factory-processed bars of detergent packed with chemicals and
preservatives. Luckily we've gotten smarter in
this age of information, and the lost art of soapmaking has
re-emerged better than ever. Our mission is show the world
that true soap is more than just suds. |
