Making Soap.
Making Differences.
Ella Marie lived with anencephaly for three and a half of the most beautiful days I’ve ever known, in December of 2015. In the wake of her death I turned to soapmaking, and turned it into a way of loving, remembering and honoring my daughter.
Handmade with organic, natural ingredients in Michigan. 10% of our profit supports anencephaly research and pregnancy and infant loss support.
Each bar is named for a baby who is loved and remembered.
