Hello

I'm Mindy. Thanks for stopping by today. Currently, the soap shop is closed while we rebuild our home. This past April, we suffered a major house fire and are in the process of rebuilding. It has been a long and emotional time. Construction has officially started, and we are extremely grateful we are to rebuild our home. I'm sharing the plans as we go. Thank you so much for stopping by, and the soap shop will be coming back this spring.

I started making soap six years ago and opened the Honey Locust Home online shop in 2015. All soaps are made with love using the cold process method with skin-loving ingredients. Each batch of soap created is unique and one of a kind. Soap is made in 4 lb batches, hand-cut, and each bar is labeled by hand. All soap is palm oil-free and phthalate-free. Using quality ingredients and always using minimal packaging is important. You can also find many other products, such as body butter, bath soak, lip butter, and dry shampoo in the Honey Locust Home shop. I hope you will check them out.
