I started Mad Sass Soap Co in 2018 as a way to find skincare that wouldn't inflame my twins sensitive eczema-prone skin. I started working in my basement once my twins went to sleep, and spent hours researching and trying recipes to find ones that would fit my family's needs. Through a lot of reading, experimentation, and long nights, I finally refined and perfected my recipes to be soothing, hydrating, and nourishing for even the most delicate skin types. 

In 2020, after two years of selling out at local markets, I decided to open up my own shop in a quiet corner of Portland called Multnomah Village. Right as we signed the lease, the world shut down with COVID-19 and all of my plans suddenly were uncertain. Despite this, I was able to build a small team and found a safe way to welcome customers and keep production moving. Three years later, we're still here and are so grateful to have such a supportive community!
