ABOUT US

Hi, and welcome to Cherry Ridge Soaps!  My name is Renee, and I began my search for cleaner soaps after two of our grandchildren struggled with extremely sensitive skin.  It seemed as though "regular" soaps would dry out and irritate their skin. I stumbled upon a "soap store" while on vacation where I found a small section of unscented goat milk soap.  I decided to get a bar to see if it would improve their skin, and it did!  We noticed a difference the very next day.  Soon after,  I decided to try my hand at making it.  I read several books, researched the different oils and fats, bought some supplies, and when I got brave enough, I attempted my first batch of Cold Process soap! I tried several different cold process soap recipes, and finally settled on around 5 different ones, to which I tweaked a bit to make them my own.  Cold Process soap making involves lye, fats, and oils and when mixed together, it goes through "Saponification" (which is a fancy term for the process that it goes through to make soap).  After waiting 4-6 weeks, the finished product is usable!  Trust me, the results are definitely worth the wait!  I truly hope that you will fall in love with my soap like many others have!  Thank you so much for looking!  Check out our testimonials from all over the country, not just my family members!  :)
