About Us

Or really, about me, since Sunbreak Soaps is currently a one woman show!

My journey into handcrafted glycerine soaps started with a long sickness that was passed around my family multiple times and took us months to recover.  During that time, I read every book I could get my hands on about making soap.  I checked out every book that my library carries on the subject which amounted to about 30 books!  Some I flipped through, others I speed read, and there were several that I sat engrossed with, absorbing the material like a sponge.  Like I said, this went on for several months before I was well enough, or brave enough, to actually give it a try.

Then in February 2012, between illnesses, I went to a local soap supplier and bought my first materials.  And so began my soap making journey!  What started as a passing interest quickly turned into an obsession, and then turned into Sunbreak Soaps!

I make all my soaps using clear or white glycerine base.  I melt this down, add moisturizing and/or exfoliating ingredients, essential oils or fragrance oils, and either natural or FD & C colorants.  Although I have drawn inspiration from a number of sources, the resulting designs are my own.

I love to do custom orders - so if you have an idea for a soap I'd love to hear it and turn it into a reality for you!

In my non-soaping life, I am a stay-at-home mom of twins, a wife, and the kind of person who generally can't hold still for long.  My previous careers have included 10 years of real estate (both residential sales & apartment leasing), factory worker, retail sales, pet shop girl, vitamin peddler, zoo volunteer, and church go-er.  I have an unnerving knack for getting along with "tough customers" and a strong belief that life is what you make of it - so you might as well make it awesome!
