Butter & Lye
Natural, Environmentally-friendly Soap

“After leaving a ten-year post working in cancer immunotherapy as a biochemist, I decided to combine my knowledge of chemical reactions in the human body with the importance of using great ingredients. I entered the fascinating world of soap making and spent the next year developing a gentle formulation made with high-quality, fragrance-and-harsh-chemical-free ingredients that would promote healthy and balanced skin. With sustainability in mind, I developed packaging made from post-consumer recycled content that’s easily recyclable and compostable. Additionally, shipping can wreak havoc on the environment so I wanted to provide a carbon-neutral shipping option to further ease our impact.”
