Heritage Soapbox LLC

Hello!!

My name is Anne Marie, and my husband is Gary. We live in the small town of Shelton, Washington, at the base of Hood Canal, my favorite place in the world! Together Gary and I have 6 amazing children ages 16-25, and 2 chickens. We love road trips, hiking, camping, and being on the water! We love the great outdoors! We also enjoy simple, holistic, self-sustainable living, and making our own soaps and other face and body products is just one way that we express that lifestyle.

I began my low-waste/zero-waste journey in 2016; and I was vegan from 2017-2021. I now embrace a simple Biblically clean diet as responsibly and respectfully as possible. I love and adore my vegetarian and vegan communities, and I understand how hard it can be to source really great products that adhere the animal friendly guidelines, so the majority of our soaps are vegan. And we never test on animals! (I don't think my chickens would like that!) A few soaps may contain a bit of raw honey from a friend's bee hives, in which case, I will state that information clearly in the product description, so you can make the best decisions for your lifestyle.

More about Heritage Soapbox! We are a multi-generational company that first started in 2013 by my mother, under the name Larsen's Lavender and Bees! In 2019 She retired, and I was given the honor of continuing on. We changed the name to reflect the heart and tradition of my mother's business, and we work hard to keep up her amazing 5 Star reputation!

Fun fact- my first soaping journey began in 2000! I had a small soap business called "Small Inspirations." My logo was a little heart containing my babies' tiny handprints!

I absolutely love the process and art of melting and mixing the oils and butters and pouring and cutting my soaps! Revealing the swirls within, and experiencing the fragrances that float in the air as they cure.... pure bliss! Not to mention the way a freshly cured soap bar feels in your hand when you hold it under the water and build that lather for the first time... I just love it! Yeah, I'm a nerd and a sucker for soap! I hope you'll join me!

Shalom- Peace!
