I made this.
Hi, I'm Jen. :) After being a potter for about ten years, professionally for the final five, I decided I had finished that chapter of my life and started a new one with another love of mine - soap.
I want to tread lightly through this life, and I believe that we as humans are to be stewards, not conquerors, of the natural world. My north star with this business is to source ingredients in the most caring way I can, to both the environment and the people in the supply chain, and then to make a phenomenal and delightful array of soaps for you. It's not easy to be low-impact, and there is a lot to learn, but I know with effort, we can make good and better choices everyday.
I grew up about an hour outside Toledo, and it was where we always went for the exciting things. Now I live right in the heart of the city, and am thrilled to be part of the hardworking, proud, and caring city that is Toledo.
Welcome to the Toledo Soap Co. I hope you love it.

Sustainable Sourcing
My goal with this business is to make simple, high-performance bars of soap that contribute to the ethical treatment of the earth and the beings who call it home. Each ingredient has been studied and its sourcing impact has been considered with care. I feel I have made choices that both you and I can feel good about, and I will continue to do so at every step of the way.

What is Cold Process Soap?
Cold process is the traditional method of soapmaking. If your ancestors made soap, this is the essence of what they did. The cold process method combines oils, butters, and fats with sodium hydroxide. The reaction that then happens is called saponification.
Through saponification, the mixture transforms into an entirely new substance - soap! Soap is basically a salt (the part that cleans) and glycerin (a gentle humectant that holds water in your skin). The cold process method requires no synthetic detergents or other cleaning agents, and is one of only a few ways of making true soap. A real 'from scratch' bar for you and yours, and really pretty cool.

Natural Ingredients, always Palm-Free
The ingredients used at Toledo Soap Co. are organic, sustainably sourced, and/or fair trade certified wherever possible. The two oils that make up the soap recipe are organic extra virgin olive oil and organic and sustainably sourced coconut oil. The coconut oil provides big, cushiony lather while the olive oil is gentle and moisturizing. A winning combination.
This base of olive and coconut oil is then scented with essential oils and colored with natural clays and charcoal, making a beautiful rainbow of soft, earthy tones.
Palm oil is not, and will never be used. That's a promise.
