INTRODUCTION

Similar to most Canadian success stories Rolling River Soap Company was started over a Tim Hortons coffee, on the shore of Lake Superior between two good friends. We talked that day about how we were interested in making safe products for our family that didn’t require us to translate the mumbo-jumbo all body products were touting. We wanted to know what we were putting on our bodies and feel good that it was part of a bigger community of people who wanted to add to the environment, rather than take away. We knew that our safe-product-family beliefs didn’t fit into the marketing mogul of pushing a product out without concern just to generate sales; and that we would have to fight to bring awareness but we KNEW it would be worth it. Natural ingredients that worked, were safe, and labels that didn’t confuse, it was a combination that was so simple.

Jessie G. became interested in making natural bath and beauty products when she realized so many products on the market today irritated her already sensitive skin. After some research and trial and error she started creating bath and beauty products for her family and friends for gifts. The quality exceeded main stream standards and people wanted to know where she bought them from so they could buy more (she now tells them www.RollingRiverSoapCompany.com). She loves her dog Cash, has beautiful soft skin because she uses Rolling River Soap Company Coconut Body Butter; she loves reading a good book, and when she can, takes l o n g naps. Because sleeping is GLORIOUS!

Zenith L. had eczema as a child and has gone through the gambit of medically recommended treatments with no avail. She started experimenting with natural bath and beauty products when finding skin sensitive products became almost impossible. She started using Rolling River Soap Company foot butter and hasn’t seen a her eczema in over a bazillion years. She’s not even sure what eczema looks like, her skin is perfect now. She enjoys snuggling with her cats Henry & Francis, cheese, reading, her bike, and has been known to sing really loud. Because she has an awesome voice.

All products are locally made and when possible so are the ingredients we are ALL about reducing our carbon footprint.
