My Story

My name is Angela, I married my highschool sweetheart and ended up with a pretty amazing man to conquer this world with. We have 3 beautiful daughters whom I homeschool. I create my soap with my oldest daughter Malia.

When Malia turned 5 she was given a soap making kit for her birthday. She grew her curiosity and started selling her soaps at the end of our driveway. so the mother-daughter soap journey began!

It turned into something we really enjoyed and I knew I needed to figure out how to make cold processed soap. For 5 years we played around with our recipe, and made many mistakes along the way. Our favorite was when our soap EXPLODED! We called it Volcano Soap. It's become a very vivid memory we laugh about often.

My husband and I always grabbed the bull by the horns and charged through life. I stopped making soap because a life trial smacked us down, and all of a sudden we were burnt out and fell apart. We were not only dealing with outside pressures but also mental health. A whole new uncharted area never talked about. It was a year of pain, suffering, loss of hope, and loss of direction.

I started making soap again with my daughter to bring some joy back. I couldn't believe how fulfilling it had become. I decided my daughter and I needed to start a business together and see what happens. So here came Foggy Valley Soaps, in the middle of a storm, and as it calmed, out came talent and persistence. I know there are still many uphill battles ahead but let's see what happens!

  • What is natural soap?

    Natural soap is made with natural ingredients. Our soap is made with blended butters and oils derived from various plants. This will give you a product rich in vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants; which the skin and hair need to grow. skin is the largest organ and is the first to come into contact with toxins and chemicals. The skin is designed to absorb. We want to bring awareness to this and be a voice to not only put healthy things in our bodies but on them as well. Oftentimes those toxic ingredients will have long names you can't pronounce, or are hidden on a small label. you will be able to read all my natural ingredients and see that there is a minimal amount. Less is more!
