How I started making handmade soap (why it matters)
Hi, I’m Angelica — the creator of Natural Beauty by Angelica — and I want to share the story of how I started making handmade soap, and why it matters to me… and maybe to you, too.
🧼It All Started with One Question 🧼
A few years ago, I found myself reading the labels on my store bought soap and i couldn't recognize most the ingredients. Harsh chemical. Artificial fragrances. Preservatives I couldn't pronounce. That's when I asked myself:
"Why am I putting this on my skin every day?"
As someone who values wellness and natural living, I knew there had to be a better way- and that's where my soap journey began.
🌱From Kitchen Experiments to Clean Skincare🌱
I started experimenting at home with natural ingredients — things like:
- Shea butter for moisture
- Olive oil for nourishment
- Coconut oil for gentle cleansing
- Lavender and tea tree essential oils for scent and skin-soothing benefits
That first batch of soap made in my kitchen changed everything. It wasn’t perfect, but it was real, and I could feel the difference on my skin right away.
💚 Why Handmade Soap Matters💚
Handmade soap isn’t just about looking cute or smelling nice. It’s about:
- Avoiding toxic chemicals
- Nourishing your skin with real, whole ingredients
- Supporting small, intentional businesses
I create each bar of soap with intention — for people who want skincare that’s safe, simple, and aligned with nature.
👩👧👦 Made for Families Like Mine
As a mom, I care deeply about what goes on my kids’ skin. Every bar I make is something I trust for them — and for you. Whether you’re dealing with dry skin, sensitivity, or just want to switch to a more natural lifestyle, my soaps are made with love and care.

This isn’t just about soap. It’s about self-care, slowing down, and reconnecting with what’s real.
Thanks for being part of this journey. 💛
