Hello everyone! My name is Jordana and I am the shop owner and soapmaker extrodinaire of The Marigold Soap Shop. I started making my own soaps and skincare products about 5 years ago when commercial, nonorganic and non-natural products started to seriously irritate my skin. Suddenly, all of my favorite lotions, soaps, scrubs, bubblebaths, the deodorant which I had used for years, were too harsh, and left me with redness, rashes, and inflammation. Now this caused a serious problem for me. Not just because of the skin irritation, but because these products were part of my self care routine. I firmly believe that self care is a major component of a happy, balanced lifestyle; This notion had been proved to me time and again when, after a long day, I could come home and relax in a bubblebath, or give myself a mini spa treatment with a body scrub and a luxurious lotion and feel pampered, or take a shower with one of my "fancy soaps" and just feel good! One of my favorite mantras is, "Self care is not selfish. It's necessary." And I stand by that statement everyday. But when my skin wasn't having any of it, I made the switch from commercial soaps, to all natural, chemical free products and saw a complete turnaround in my skin. No more rashes. No painful redness. With my new, natural products, my skin was feeling sumptuous and silky!! But my wallet was feeling decidedly less so. And that's when I began making my own soaps, lotions and scrubs. I wanted to make amazing quality self care items, that could inspire others to care for themselves AND our planet and that wouldn't break the bank. And thus, The Marigold Soap Shop was born!! What started as just little ol' me, making deodorant in my kitchen has become a true passion of mine, one that includes loving yourself and our Earth and one that I am so, so happy and GRATEFUL to share with y'all today.
