A few years ago, a boy and his soap were reunited for the first time
since high school chemistry. No, we don't mean that he had a
decade-long hygiene problem -- a quest for a creative vent sparked a
distant memory of being the only kid in class whose bar of soap
actually floated. Years later, he decided to give his master soap
making skills another try. A few failed experiments, several
mediocre attempts, and a handful of squeaky-clean relatives later,
the soaper got his groove back.

In 2006
Union Street Soapworks made its first appearance at the Old Monterey
Farmers Market in California, and the rest is history.
A common series of questions is: "So, where’s Union Street? Is this
Union Street in San Francisco? Is this Union Street in
Alexandria?" In truth, this particular Union Street has its humble
roots in the Heritage Hill district of Grand Rapids, Michigan, where
it served as home for a time. It was also the home of former
President Gerald Ford (though unfortunately there is no evidence he
ever tried the soap.)

There is something special about a bar of true handcrafted soap.
Maybe it's the rich, frothy lather you get when you use it...or
maybe it's the way it makes your skin feel, clean in a way that
nothing out of a pump could ever hope to achieve. And until
scientists find a cure for dirt, we'll keep making soap!
And
as always, our products are never tested on animals----just relatives!
Your friends in soaping,
Union Street Soapworks |
