Body Essentials by Chet
Location: Standish, ME
In early 2008, I was given a handcrafted bar of soap from a friend. I could not believe how well it performed and was even more surprised that she made it herself. I was hooked! She shared books, web sites and answered endless questions regarding the soap making process. I began to dabble in the craft myself and I found that my new hobby was very similar to cooking, which is something I also enjoy.
After many attempts, I came up with my own handcrafted soap recipe. I experimented with natural ingredients like lemon grass, oatmeal, honey and cinnamon and then premium grade fragrance oils. I selected goat’s milk as the prominent ingredient because I was impressed with its skin healing and moisturizing properties. I had family and friends try my creations and I received very positive feedback. One thing led to another and I started to experiment with other personal care products. Before I knew it, my hobby blossomed in a business. With the help of my life partner Wayne, we share my full line of personal care products through craft shows, the internet and now Northern Tides.
