In an environment of constant stress and crisis, we struggle to do good in the world, and to remain healthy enough to continue doing good for ourselves and our families. It is in this spirit that we offer ugly soap and other products for beautiful people, and weird little things for off-beat people.
Our Story
In 2010, I was in a transition period after leaving an office job I’d had for fifteen years. During the down time that immediately followed, I was cleaning out my house; purging old stuff for a fresh start, and looking for direction. I found a soap-making book and kit I’d received as a gift years before. As a working mother with two young children, I’d never gotten around to using it. I almost tossed the kit into the donation pile, until I realized that finally, like Burgess Meredith’s character in my favorite episode of The Twilight Zone, I had time (as long as I didn’t break my glasses). So began my foray into the world of cold-process soap.
As a kid, I always loved to make “potions” from grass, flowers, and wild herbs, stirred with sturdy sticks in castoff pots from my maternal grandmother’s kitchen. This part of me awoke, rubbed her hands together, and quickly (with myriad grave errors early on) learned to make additions to the soap to change and improve it, and fell more and more in love with the hobby. As the results of my new passion began to overflow the household, I gave soap to family, neighbors, and friends, and eventually began to sell it. Tilted Haggis Soap Company was born. Eleven years later, we are changing our name and expanding the boundaries of what we offer.
At this juncture, we wish to offer a sincere thank you to all those who’ve supported us from the beginning, and all those who are just discovering us. Special thanks to Percy, Dakota, and Caleb, who have been our best testers, sniffers, tech support, salespeople, designers, and marketing advisors over the past decade. Your patience and dedication are greatly appreciated.
We do our best to create products that enrich your lives in small ways, and we hope that we make you smile every day.
“Wash Your Hands. Use soap.”
