Janet’s Organics has been making hand-crafted soaps, lip balms, herbal salves, and body lotions using as many USDA certified organic ingredients as possible since 2022.

​

Janet began her soap and cosmetic making journey when she took a class in Herbal Medicine Making at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden in 2019—which led her to infusing oils with herbs to make her own herbal salves and lip balms.

​

Combining a keen interest in fragrance-free and natural products and a lifelong search for the perfect soap, she decided to learn cold process soapmaking by watching YouTube videos, reading soapmaking books and manuals, gathering ingredients and equipment, and working up the courage to handle lye.

​

Finding soapmaking a fun creative outlet, she experimented with different oils, butters, essential oils, and natural colorants to create fabulous soaps and share them with others. Encouraged by the positive feedback, she established Janet’s Organics to sell her soaps, salves, and lip balms to the general public.

​

Through continued self-study, she also learned hot process and liquid soapmaking, and in October of 2025 earned a Basic Soapmaking Certification through the Handcrafted Soap and Cosmetic Guild—the only international non-profit trade association serving the handcrafted soap and cosmetic industry—of which she has been a member since 2022.

 

Creating these soaps, lip balms, herbal salves, and lotions has been a wonderful experience, and Janet’s Organics has grown “organically.”
