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!

I was on line searching for products to help eczema for my granddaughter , I found your sight and ordered some for her, it worked so well been ordering since and have given out to friends who have been looking also. I tell everyone I know. I love your products
I started using bend soap because of eczema. Thanks
In the past I ordered your soaps for the pure ingredients along with a wonderful scent. Last summer I started to have blotches on my legs that my doctor said was dry skin, it wasn’t. After trying prescription salves and other lotions, I remembered that I had a bar of your soap left. I have been using it and the itchy, red, bleeding blotches have started to heal. It’s almost time to order more. Thank you!
I love your soap. I found you several years ago from Tiffany at Don’t Waste the Crumbs. The first time I purchased your product was when you had a sale and I got different sizes of soap, by weight I think but even though the information said they were “imperfect” bars they all were great and no one knew that BendSoap said they were seconds. I recently purchased 10 bars at regular price BUT, believe it or not, I had to save up for such a purchase. Being retired, a purchase like that doesn’t really fit into our budget. Nevertheless, I am now saving up, little by little, for our next purchase. I am treating this soap (which we put on the largest organ of our body, our skin) just like I do for food we put IN our body. No junk in our food so no junk in our soap. Thank you for a great product.
I love all your products. I suffer from dry, itchy skin and your products help me tremendously!
Thank you!
