That is our promise! Since joining the Peace Corps in 1996, my wife Dutchess and I have traveled around the world. Whether our travels have taken us to Africa, Europe, Asia, or some beautiful island destination, we are always looking to identify natural local remedies. Different formulas, made primarily from plants, butters, herbs, and oils have been tested in our Soap Shed, and on our small Alabama Farm. We've recreated compounds with our own unique tweaks and variations. Bringing some of these simple yet effective recipes back to our families, friends, neighbors, and pets started off as souvenirs and gifts... but has truly evolved into our life's passion.
