Mindful Materials For Modern Makers
Think of us as your creative partners in the soap studio. At Nurture Handmade, we're a family-run team with a real passion for everything bubbly and crafty.
Founded in 2012 by long-time soap maker Carrie Jack, our goal is to bring you quality supplies you can trust. Carrie tests every product before it reaches you, and if it doesn't pass her "maker test," we don't sell it.
We care about our craft, our neighbors, and the Earth. That's why every product we carry is vegan and cruelty-free, and our mica is ethically sourced. It's also why we make many of our products in-house, source locally whenever we can, and recycle as much as possible in our building.
Bottom line? We're here to supply your spark, protect the planet, and celebrate what you create. Welcome to the family!
