The Soap Cauldron

January 9, 2013

 

Three Sister’s Apothecary, also know as The Soap Cauldron have been creating artisan soap since 1999. Their handcrafted bar soaps are made in the time honored tradition of the first soap guilds of 7th century Europe. Now just as it was then each bar is handmade in small batches with only natural botanicals, pure essential and vegetable oils. From the early recipes coveted by these guilds, these beneficial ingredients nourish and support skin on a daily basis.

They named their company Three Sisters Apothecary after the three Yniguez sisters, Emma, Marlo and Pandora, of which Emma Mann is the youngest. These girls all  two years apart in age, grew up together and spent many lazy Sunday afternoons harvesting herbs for their grandmother, a nurse. They learned early that nature can truly be therapeutic. The passing of Marlo in 2010, was the catalyst that inspired Emma to go forward and follow her dream of bringing back an all natural alternative to those seeking truly natural personal care. We hope you enjoy their products.

The Soap Cauldron attends our Farmers’ Market on Saturdays.
