Natural from the Beginning
1924 CUSTOM SOAPERY is a Wisconsin-owned, small-batch soaping business driven by the love of chemistry, art, and soft skin. We have worked hard experimenting and testing dozens of recipes to create our own custom recipe that brings out all the qualities we love about handmade, cold-process soap. When you use our soap, you get a total sensorial experience. Each bar is a wonderfully smelling piece of art that lathers bountifully and leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Our soaps combine only the purest, natural oils, including skin-loving coconut and olive oils. We aim to have as small of an impact on the environment with our product packaging as possible by restricting the use of plastics.
The name, 1924 CUSTOM SOAPERY, is a tribute to the soap-maker’s beloved grandfather, Orville, who was born in 1924. He wasn’t a soap-maker, but he could have been. He was capable of learning and building nearly anything, despite having only an 8th grade education. Orville was among the artisans and skilled workers of the past who were great in their trades and provided valuable goods and services to their communities. Soaping is one of those lost skills we are reviving.
