Here's how it began.....

The first time I used handmade soap was all the way back when I was a college student. I bought a goat milk soap for myself but didn't care for it at that time because I didn't see any immediate result, it was expensive, and of course, it didn't help much on my eczema in which I had it for a while. It wasn't until 2009 my friend in Taiwan gave me a set of handmade soap as a gift made by her sister.


It took me forever to use it because I was so stingy to use such good stuff, needless to say, my eczema problem still persist, but I did like the idea behind it how it uses only natural ingredients in it. My friend's sister eventually open her own soap business later on and I started browsing through her website, what really impressed me were how she put so much thought and creativity into making soap, not only she made different soap for all kind of skin type, she presented her soap in nice and creative packaging that I can't stop looking at it. I started asking her about my skin condition and she said it's important to use soap for a period of time to really see the result, I listened to her and started using it again continuously, I can see my skin condition gets better and better, I have no more eczema on my arm and leg now. In 2011 when I went back to Taiwan, I asked my friend to teach me how to make soap, I was amazed to see she did everything from scratch and by her own hand, there's so much hard work and thought into it, now I know why handmade soap cost so much, it's worth every penny, I really enjoyed it and here's how it all began :)
