Lynnel & Michael Olson

{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 With ongoing research becoming easier and faster, the information she once scoured historical documents for is now readily available at our fingertips—thank you, internet.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

{THE FUTURE OF THE OREGON SOAP SHOPPE}

As new research unfolds and we expand our knowledge, you’ll notice new blends of our luxurious handmade soaps continuing to fill the shelves at The Oregon Soap Shoppe. 

Colorants will remain naturally sourced; however, with fresh ideas on the horizon, you can expect bolder color combinations. Look forward to brighter swirls, increased texture, and enhanced visual interest. 

Variety will flourish at The Oregon Soap Shoppe as we strive to meet our customers’ diverse needs. Our new products will be evidence-based, structurally blended with a pinch of imagination, reflecting our commitment to natural soap making. 

As our team grows, you will see new faces at The Oregon Soap Shoppe. Our dedicated team will work collaboratively toward a common goal: to provide the very best, most luxurious handmade soaps. 

With new team members bringing bright ideas and fresh vision, you will witness these changes reflected in our labels, design, store layout, and culture.  A melding of multiple worlds, honoring all past and future generations as we move forward.
