{HOW IT STARTED…}

Lynnel has been crafting luxurious handmade soaps for over 30 years. Being of Scandinavian descent, she has always had delicate skin. In her quest to provide a better option for her family, she explored natural alternatives, which led her to embark on a lifelong journey of natural soap making through cold process techniques. Lynnel is committed to quality, using only the very best ingredients available. It is her and her husband’s passion and privilege to continue to provide exquisite, luxurious handmade soaps to customers all over the globe.

{HOW IT’S GOING}

30+ years later, Lynnel is now certified in various aspects of aromatherapy. She applies this knowledge daily, joyfully swirling delightful blends to create luxurious handmade soaps for her loyal and growing customer base. With ongoing research becoming easier and faster, the information she once scoured historical documents for is now readily available at our fingertips—thank you, internet. With increased global interest in natural soap making, suppliers are much more prevalent. Lynnel’s expanding team of talented individuals is instrumental in helping her vision continue to blossom.

Additionally, she proudly holds memberships at:

• The Alliance of International Aromatherapists

• Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild

• National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy
