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!

We as a family want to only put health food and vitamins in our body and safe chemical free creams and soaps on our bodies . Thank you for having a company that feel like we do and cares about our bodies and our hair
I have been using Bend soap for a while now, and added the lotion a few months ago. I can’t believe the difference the combination has made in the softness of my skin! My hands get chapped and dry every winter, but not this year! I have also started using it on my face as my moisturizer, after washing it with the soap and it is working great! I gave my daughter some soap recently, and she loves it too! Thank you so much for a great product!
Bend Soap Company is my life-saving Angel! After 4 years with a rash that NO ONE can diagnose correctly, I have finally found a soap, lotion, and salve that have saved me! I’m not totally healed, but without you, BEND, I’m not sure I would have any skin left! With no chemicals, being all organic/natural, my skin is now recovering and is hydrated! Thank you SO much! I’ve recommended you to all I encounter and have given your information to my doctors! You are my ANGEL!
I saw your ad on Facebook and decided to give the soap a try. I had been wondering about goat milk soap for awhile and I’m so glad I ordered. They all smell devine and suds up really well. My daughter saw the soaps on my bathroom counter right after they arrived and loved how they smelled. She ordered soap for all of her grown children for Christmas.
I bought a set for my sister who suffers from psoriasis
She loves it.
