Love Your Own Skin 

Hello from Roxanne and Fred Johnson! We are excited to tell you the story of the best handmade soap and body care products in the world!

OUR STORY

I grew up on a farm in Utah. We always had a garden and grew much of what we ate. My father also owned a successful business in Salt Lake City. I was brought up to work at being successful at whatever I did, whether it was riding horses, cooking, sewing, fishing, or caring for animals.

My First Batch Of Basic Artisan Soap

I loved trying new things. When I was twelve, I made my first batch of Basic artisan soap, ruining my mother’s muffin tin in the process. I will never forget that first batch of Basic Artisan Soap. That first batch was a definite failure, but now about twenty years later, I am the owner and master Basic Artisan Soap maker of our growing natural body care company.

Fred grew up in Arizona. In sixth grade, he and the other top students in his class were chosen to go with their teacher, an avid outdoorsman, to hike down the Grand Canyon on a fishing expedition.

The Basic Artisan Soap Journey

Their journey took them down Soap Creek Canyon to the Colorado River. The canyon got its name from the first pioneers traveling through. They had caught a badger and tried to cook it in the alkali water trickling down the canyon.

The greasy badger meat boiled in the alkali water left soap floating in the top of the pan and an inedible pot of food. Fred liked the area a lot and has gone back many times. Thus, the name of Soap Creek Company was born.

Summer Of 2000

Fred and I were married in the summer of 2000. Fast forward to 2010 when our son Fielding was born. He gained less than a pound in the first six weeks of his life and was getting sicker every day.

After many trips to the doctors and emergency room with no results, I was inspired to ask them to check his thyroid as I had had troubles with mine in the past. The test came back that his thyroid was barely at discernable levels of functioning. He was placed on medication and immediately started to feel better and grow.

We couldn’t stand the thoughts of having our little boy on medication the rest of his life. I started researching natural ways and methods to treat the problem, discovering that thyroid problems plague most of America and are known as a silent epidemic and a major contributor in most other health problems.

Lifestyle Change

To treat him we had to make an entire lifestyle change — from diet to natural supplements to natural body care, as synthetic fragrance, dyes, and chemicals all take their toll on the body’s ability to function properly. Fielding has been off the thyroid medication for four years now!

In my search for more holistic health — not satisfied with the supposed natural body care products readily available on the market, I began to study and formulate my own basic artisan soap. Every ingredient was studied with making the very best in mind, becoming an expert in the use of natural ingredients.

First Successful Batch Of Basic Artisan Soap

My first (successful this time) batch of bar basic artisan soap was four simple lavender bars on the kitchen table after my kids were asleep. The passion for this project grew and so did the piles of ingredients in our home’s closets, cupboards, etc.

As batch after batch was made, there was basic artisan soap piling up all over the house. We gave it out to family and friends. One particular family friend had suffered from his childhood with rheumatic arthritis. His skin was constantly itching and hurting as side effect of years of prescription drugs.

After a week of using the basic artisan soap he called on the phone really excited as he had just experienced his first week in thirty-plus years that he got a restful night’s sleep without waking up to his whole body itching.

Testimonials 

Testimonial after testimonial of life changing experiences encouraged us to work hard on this project. It was about then we decided we had to bring our products to market. The road has not been an easy one.

Fred stayed at his job as a journeyman electrician, to support our project. The project grew from the basement to a shop and now to a larger GMP facility. Now Soap creek’s production is up to 400,000 bars and counting, making the world better, one bar at a time.

Quality Of Basic Artisan Soap
