We’re all washing our hands more these days – and as long as we’re using more soap, how about if we support local businesses at the same time?
Here are 40+ Canadian soapmakers who sell online. Most are all-natural. Most provide other personal care products as well – like hand-sanitizer. Something for every body.

Would it be possible to show the location of these soap makers on a map? 🙂
That was part of my original plan. I was going to launch the blog in late summer and include a map that showed everyone. But since we started early due to COVID-19, we put the map on hold until later. Long term, we’re planning both a map and an app so you can find local makers on your phone. That’s a little way down the road, though. Sorry. 🙂
