OUR STORY

Gabrielle Oakley— The artisan hands crafting the essence of Stella & Throne Soapery

It all started with one humble basket of soaps...

In 2011, I stepped into the world of soap-making, seeking a simple creative outlet but discovering a passion that would transform my life. Each batch was a canvas, each bar a story, and as my hands worked, my heart followed—infusing every creation with love, care, and intention. 

With eager excitement, I filled a basket with my favorite hand-crafted soaps and shared them with  family and friends. The anticipation in their eyes and the delighted smiles that followed as they explored each scent and texture were unforgettable. Their overwhelming encouragement echoed one simple truth: “You need to make more!” And so, I did!

From that pivotal moment, Stella & Throne Soapery was born—a celebration of artful, hand-made self-care. We’ve grown beyond artisan soaps to create a collection of sustainably sourced body oils, whipped body butters, and revitalizing scrubs, all designed to nourish, balance, and honor every type and shade of skin. As a proud African American woman-owned business, our mission is to craft products that deliver more than beauty—they inspire confidence, self-love, and radiant care. 

Our creations stand apart from mass-produced alternatives. Every bar of soap is lovingly crafted using the traditional cold-process method, ensuring luxuriously creamy lathers and a gentle touch that pampers every inch of your skin. Whether you’re seeking a moment of tranquility after a long day or preparing to shine on a special occasion, our collection is thoughtfully designed to make you feel your very best, every single day.

But our passion extends far beyond our products. At Stella & Throne Soapery, we invite you to experience the artistry and joy of soap-making through immersive workshops. Whether it’s collaborative sessions, private one-on-one workshops, or branding and business mentorship programs designed to help budding entrepreneurs bring their visions to life, our community is built on creativity, connection, and shared growth. 

Here, we believe in the power of self-care to transform and uplift—and we are honored to walk this journey with you, crafting beauty, joy, and purpose in every creation. Welcome to Stella & Throne Soapery, where every product tells a story, and every story begins with love.
