Plumera began as a Mom in her kitchen making soap for fun. She was health-conscious and wanted to know what was going into the products that she and her family were using everyday. She also had an extensive background in science, so the process of saponification was quite a fascinating creative outlet. Once she got started, it became a great hobby and it made gift-giving holidays easy and friends and family looked forward to their annual "Holiday soap gifts" . It grew into an Etsy store and now, here we are. Since its inception, Plumera has continued the tradition of all handmade products, always in small batches. This allows us to provide rigorous quality-control procedures and we are able to easily address any problems if they arise, so one bad apple literally doesn't spoil the whole bunch. When you receive your product, we know you are going to love it just as much as we do!
