Hi! My name is Jarelis. I'm 35 and I'm a certified artisan in oils and saponification ( which is the art and science of creating soap from scratch).
My journey started almost twelve years ago, in 2010, when I attended my first artisan & agricultural fair and discovered handmade soap for the first time. I bought my first bar in search of helping my mother's sensitive diabetic skin. She had ulcers and having very dry skin wasn't helping. Changing to a handmade soap made a huge difference on her skin, so her medications could do its job properly. ( Years later learned that soap doesn't cure any ailments but if you use the right one for your type of skin, your skin will thank you)
I became fascinated and as a full time caretaker of my mother I couldn't work a regular job. With the money gifted to me and my husband on our wedding day, I paid for a soap making class and started my neverending, continuous learning in the world of soapmaking. By 2012 I was certified by Fomento in Puerto Rico and later in 2014 became certified by Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña.
Soapmaking has become a getaway from very difficult life experiences. It has become more than a hobby to me. Everything that I continuously learn is so that you can have a wonderful, relaxing, self-care ritual in your everyday shower. A small getaway that you so truly deserve.
I hope my products, a small piece of me, brings your daily shower rituals the same feeling I get when I create them. Thank you for being here and taking the time to get to know us better!
