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!

Hello. I seen an advertisement of your products on Facebook. At the time I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. I am healed today because of Jesus Christ my Savior. I was looking for something that was safe for my body and I found you. After reading about your son I knew I had to try it. I and my daughter are hooked. We Love the Eucalyptus Spearmint soap. I wish you all well and am very grateful for you. God Bless!!
I wanted my son and daughter-in-law to try this on my grandson’s skin. I’m hoping for great results!
We just started to use so we are hoping it works. My grandson has been fighting eczema since he was around 2 years of age.. So let as know if we should try something else with what I just ordered..
Thank you!
I have excema in a few places. But mostly an angry scar , red , sore and just ugly. I tried the sugar scrub and soap my scar is barely noticeable and excema is cleared up. I love this and give it as gifts plus smells wonderful! Thank you!
Love these goat soaps. I’ve shared with family and friends and will definitely order again.
