About Us
It all started as a crazy idea...
... and it grew! I'm Tiffani and I live in the suburbs of Southeast Portland, Oregon. I've always been crafty and have enjoyed making random things, and I have gone through many different avenues of expressing myself. A few years ago I started to explore more natural alternatives to products that we all use on a daily basis, and I kept coming back to soap. Once I started making soap, everything else naturally followed, and soon I found myself researching different oils, butters, herbs, and essential oils to find the best blends for butters, balms, scrubs, and more! I aim to use the most natural and organic ingredients and support local businesses whenever possible. The essential oils I use are high quality, fragrance oils are always phthalate free, and I only use RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certified Palm Oil.
Portland, Oregon a.k.a. Stumptown
I'm born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest runs deep in my blood. When I first started invisioning what I would want my brand to represent, I knew I wanted to keep everything as local as I could. And what is Stumptown you may ask? In the mid-19th century, the growth in Portland led residents to clear a lot of land quickly, but the tree stumps were not immediately removed. As a result, there were so many stumps in some areas that people would jump from stump to stump to avoid the muddy and unpaved roads.
Family owned and operated
I couldn't do this without the support and love of my family! My husband Marc is amazing and extremely creative as well. He has wonderful suggestions and ideas, and loves the fact that he can build me things! We have two daughters Hope and Hannah together, and their ideas are amazing. Some of my best selling soaps have been produced as a result of their creative input for colors, scents, and overall design. They love helping out in any ways that they can, and I appreciate them all greatly. I'd say we're all a pretty good team! There is always plenty going on around here too with our dogs MJ, Micco and Shadow aka Puppy, 3 tortoises, 1 rabbit, and 4 chickens!!!
