SIGN IN FOR FASTER CHECKOUT
With so many new — and plenty of familiar! — faces around here, we wanted to take a moment to share the story and mission behind Bend Soap Company. Here’s a little back-story to fill you in on where Bend Soap Company started and what’s happened over the years, as written by our Co-Founder, Marilee.
Watching a child suffer is so hard. As Dwight and I watched our son struggle with his eczema, we searched for a product that would help with his pain and itching. When no product was found in the stores, our research led us back to our very own farm.
We learned that fresh goat milk was rich in nutrients. Looking at our goats, we wondered… Could soap made with this milk be the answer to our son’s eczema
True, there were already plenty of soaps to choose from, but we discovered they are laced with toxins and junk! The more labels we read, the more we felt like lab rats who were slowly being poisoned.
“We need a pure soap!” Dwight proclaimed.
Keeping the ingredients simple and pure, he handcrafted his own bar.
Each day our son soaked in a bath of this pure, nutrient-rich soap, and before we knew it, his pain and itching were gone! We were so encouraged by the results, we made more soap and shared it with family, friends, bank tellers... Anyone who was interested.
The word spread and people started asking for more, and more soap. A small family farm business began and the soap was sold at craft shows up and down the west coast.
Wherever we went we always had travel soaps to share. Soon more natural products joined the soaps as we worked to provide natural solutions for more of our skincare needs.
The soap has not changed over the years, for its all-natural goodness is precious. As we grow, we choose not to compromise on the quality of the ingredients, for what goes on our skin is too great of importance to be careless.
To those who give our products a try, we hope you enjoy. It is our mission to make these products available to all. We want you to LOVE your skin… One bar at a time!
Welcome to the Bend Soap Co. family!

Never had a problem with any orders until 2020 when I waited for my order and to my surprise when it arrived it wasn’t even my order. But once I contacted Bend Soap the mix up was taken care of and was given the order I was sent by mistake and received my actual order within days. Love the soaps and customer service.
I had hand surgery almost 2 months ago & started using the Defender Salve on my scars.
It has been incredible for keeping them soft & minimizing the look of them.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Your products have made such a difference to my daughter and son who fight eczema on a daily basis! From the soap, to the lotions, to the milk bath (my son’s absolutely favorite!) your products are AMAZING!!! My son is 3 and has autism spectrum disorder – he is EXTREMELY sensitive to textures and scents so for him to bring me one of the numerous bottles of your lotion running around our house, well it’s a big deal!
long lasting, good fragranced, safe ingredients for happy bathing – thanks, Bend!
I have extremely sensitive skin, I love the unscented and the oatmeal & honey the most! The milk bath is so soothing but I mainly use the soap in the shower. I think I have been using your products for right at 2 years, I will continue to do so from now on! I have purchased birthday gifts for friends & family as well.
