A story of freshness

Meet Shamus

To me, REAL means NATURAL.

​

Real. Soaps started in 2012 with an Etsy Shop and a dream....

After learning that most commercial 'soaps' are actually detergents (a cheap, synthetic version of the real deal) I learned how actual soap is made from natural ingredients. 

We don't use any dyes, preservatives, Palm Oil, Sulfates (SLS), Parabens, Phthalates or any other questionable ingredients

We only make small batches & use only our own blends of Pure Essential & Food Grade Oils.  Each cruelty-free product is handmade sustainably with intention & care. 

We've grown over the years into an ever-expanding line of All Natural Bath & Body products carried in stores nationwide!  We're very proud to have been the first Chicago brand selected for West Elm's LOCAL initiative, featuring makers from across the country in local West Elm retail stores. 

Our products have been featured on MSN, Kickstarter, Time Out Chicago and in West Elm Stores, Midway International Airport & The Chicago Botanic Garden.
