About Us
Welcome to Golden Banks Soapery. We're so happy you're here.
OUR STORY
Golden Banks is no doubt here today because of my son. As a new mom I agonized over the products I was putting on and into my body. Starting with pregnancy I cut out my medical grade skincare like retinols, avoided certain medications and watched the foods I was eating to help my baby grow as healthily as possible. Some changes were easy to navigate -- like drinking more water, eating healthier & taking vitamins. However, I became overwhelmed when looking for products I felt comfortable using on my body.
For my newborn I sought to use the gentlest, most pure ingredients on his delicate skin. I looked up conventional products marketed to be natural, organic, & "safe." I quickly realized that even if products claim to be this way, they often are not. I learned that conventional soaps sold in stores are actually more akin to detergents. Chemically processed, filled with additives & loaded with preservatives. Not ingredients I would want to expose my baby's brand new skin to. Especially when you think of something that should be so nourishing & innate like washing.
There I was -- a mom looking for a solution. So I made one.
Soap was and continues to be our cornerstone product. We have since expanded into formulating other nourishing & fun bath products. Including our luxuriously rich bath truffles, exfoliating & moisturizing sugar cubes, cleansing shampoo bars & more.
Golden Banks products are handmade, small batch, artisan products. We handcraft each batch and infuse our products with luxurious ingredients like silk fibers, essential oils & natural additives. Not only do they provide a pleasurable washing experience, but you can feel good about using them knowing that :
We are committed to using the highest quality ingredients that are free of sulfates, phthalates & parabens.
