The Buff City Story

We are on a mission to create handmade products that are free of harsh ingredients and full of nourishing plant-based goodies to make your skin and nose happy.

Why We Make Soap

Most of the trusted brands you wash with are made with detergents, chemicals, and tallow, which is just another name for cow fat. Sulfates, artificial detergents, and parabens can cause irritation, trigger allergies, and have other unpleasant side effects.

That does not exactly say “refreshing” shower or bath to us. That is why we set out on a mission to make bath and skin care products locally without harsh chemicals and preservatives.

We use simple ingredients that are safe for your skin and contain ingredients you can actually pronounce.

Our Soap Makery

We handcraft each bar of soap and our many other products in what we call our Soap Makeries. Each of our locations makes these products onsite right in front of our guests in a very transparent process that allows our guests to see what they are putting on their body and using for their clothes. 

We keep our Makeries stocked with ingredients like essential oils, shea butter, sugar and charcoal.   What you will never see are those artificial detergents, surfactants, dyes or other harsh chemicals.

We even have our fragrances manufactured for us to ensure they are free of phthalates, parabens, and formaldehyde containing/forming ingredients.  You can also customize your products with the scent (or non-scent) of your choice.

Plant-Based. Handmade Daily. Smell Wonderful!
