When I began making soaps in 2013, it was simply a creative outlet for me. But after a few test batches, I fell in love with the process and knew that I was onto something special.

I wanted to share my creations with my family, so I carefully packed a basket to include all of my favorite samples. I can still remember their faces when I arrived that day - and each person’s excitement as they reached in to take a soap. I held my breath as they examined it closely and tested out the different scents. To my relief, their reaction was overwhelmingly positive. They loved them, and their only feedback was simple: "You need to make more." 

And so I did.

Since then, Stella & Throne Soapery has expanded our collection to include a range of hand-made, sustainably-resourced self-care products - from body oils to artisan soaps, whipped body butters, and scrubs. 

As an African American woman-owned business, we take extra care to ensure that our recipes nourish and balance skin of every type and shade, using only the highest-quality ingredients one can find, resulting in the ultimate self-care experience. 

Unlike many commercial bars, we use the traditional soap-making method known as cold process. This method ensures our soap bars are amazingly luxurious, offer a creamy lather with gentle cleansing properties, and are safe to use from your face down to your toes. 

So whether you're unwinding after a long day or pampering yourself before a special occasion, our collection is designed to make you feel your best, every single day.

For the earth, our community, and you.

We believe that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it, which is why we never use harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances in our creations. Our products are gentle, nourishing, and safe for even the most sensitive skin.

Our mission is to combine simple healthy ingredients, environmental consciousness, and social responsibility. Our bath products are 100% free of petroleum, parabens, silicones, and other synthetic ingredients.

At Stella & Throne Soapery, we're not just creating amazing self-care products - we're sharing a piece of our heart with you. We hope that our passion for natural, sustainable, and indulgent bath and body products shines through in everything we create. 

Thank you for checking us out and allowing our brand to celebrate your skin. And to all of you who have grown with me from the start, I sure do love you double!! 

~OX, 

Gabrielle
