Our Beginning
We at Cedar Hill Soaps are a husband and wife team. The concept was born out of a desire to do something about our personal suffering with cracked hands and dry skin. Our professional and other life interests require that we wash our hands many times a day.
We discovered that pretty much all commercial soap was actually detergent with many other additives included as well. All these products tend to strip natural oils from the skin. Thus we began to research hand crafted cold process soap making to see if we could make a soap that would be gentler on our skin. We created some recipes that seemed very skin friendly and did not contribute to the drying effect we had been experiencing from the commercial brands of soap we had been using all our lives. In a very short time our skin felt much better, so we began to share our soap and our story with others.
It didn't take long for friends and family to inquire about our soap and want to give it a try for themselves. And, voila, Cedar Hill Soaps was born.
