About Us

Hemlock Springs Soaps began with a simple idea: everyday self-care should feel approachable, comforting, and actually useful — not complicated, performative, or full of ingredients you can’t pronounce.

What started as handcrafted goat milk soap grew into a broader collection of botanical body care, herbal products, candles, sprays, and small-batch self-care essentials rooted in practical herbal traditions and real-life experience.

In 2018, I purchased Tangled Roots Herbal, where I spent years deepening my work with herbs, natural wellness, and community education through classes, products, and one-on-one connection. Over time, the line between the two businesses naturally started to blur — soaps led to herbal body care, herbal body care led to teas and tinctures, and eventually everything began growing toward the same shared purpose: helping people reconnect with themselves through simple, grounded rituals and plant-based support.

As Tangled Roots Herbal transitioned away from its standalone storefront, many of its core herbal offerings found a new home here at Hemlock Springs Soaps.

So while the name on the door may be different, the heart behind it is very much the same.

Today, Hemlock Springs Soaps blends handcrafted soapmaking, herbal traditions, botanical wellness, and a healthy dose of humor into products made for real people living real lives — stressed, overstimulated, exhausted, hopeful, healing, messy, human lives.

Everything is still made in small batches with intention, care, and the belief that small rituals matter.

And honestly? Sometimes a good cup of tea, a hot shower, or lighting the right candle can help more than we give it credit for.
