Mindful Materials For Modern Makers

Think of us as your creative co-pilots in the soap studio! At Nurture Handmade, we're a fun-loving, family-run team with a massive passion for everything bubbly and crafty.

Founded in 2012 by long-time soap artisan Carrie Jack, our goal is to bring you top-shelf supplies you can actually trust. Carrie puts every product through its paces before it ever reaches you. If it doesn't pass the ultimate "maker test," it's out.

We care deeply about our craft, our neighbors, and the Earth. That's why every product we carry is vegan, ethically sourced, and cruelty-free. It's also why we make tons of products in-house, source locally whenever possible, and recycle practically everything in our building.

Bottom line? We're here to supply your spark, protect the planet, and celebrate every single creation you bring to life. Welcome to the family!
