Our Story

Silkywaysoap was founded by Luz and her husband Michael. We enjoy spending time together as a family, especially with our son, Sebastian. My background is in Business Administration and my husband studied Chemistry.

Silkywaysoap was born from everyday wonders in our life. What are you doing here in this world? What is your purpose in life? What are the things that make you happy and love the best? What motivates you to wake up and do it all over again the next day? What can you offer to other people? All these questions were on our minds until we started this journey of handmade soaps in March of 2021. We have never felt so connected with nature.

I grew up in the state of Trujillo on a rich agriculture mountain of the Andes of Venezuela and sometimes I miss being in contact with nature and my husband too, he loves to learn about plants, he is a local Michigan guy, we love to immerse ourselves into the countryside and explore nature. In summer we love to participate in a small garden community and grow some summer vegetables and herbs to enjoy with family and friends.

Nature has so much to offer, and that is what inspired us to begin using organic plants to take care of our bodies. Through making soaps and other products, we have learned how to carefully utilize plant materials to avoid abusing the natural gifts that they provide by buying from reliable sources.

SilkyWaySoap is fully licensed and insured and we would like to welcome you to our small business and offer you a variety of products made in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The mission of SilkyWaySoap is to offer a variety of products that are made in small batches and the method that we are using for our soaps is a cold curation process. We carefully formulate soaps, baths and body care with the highest quality and ethical ingredients on the market. These ingredients are good for your skin and the future of our planet. We want to offer our clients the best soaps that they have ever used before. We want them to experience something new and healthy, while feeling confident in the safety and quality of our products. All the products that we are offering will nourish the skin and promote relaxation. 

The ingredients that we are using are sustainable, unrefined, pure, organic oils, sustainable palm organic oil, grass fed beef tallow, butters, natural clays, salts, sugars, milks, honey, herbs, botanical powder, spices and essential oils. The aroma of our soaps comes from all of this fantastic combination of these natural ingredients. All these ingredients that we are using to formulate our products are ingredients that we can recognize, pronounce and are part of our natural environment. The ingredients that we use in our products are packed with vitamins, antioxidants and minerals which benefit our body. This is in contrast to commercial soaps, which are commonly made with chemicals that you don't know much about and are not designed to promote healthy skin. 

SilkyWaySoap is free of toxic chemicals, parabens, phthalates, artificial colors, synthetics fragrance and micas. Our products are eco-friendly. We make sure that they are good for our environment. It is also important for us to buy from suppliers that are ethically sourced. We are making less waste in this process, so the packaging of our products is recyclable and reusable. We are not using plastic in our products.
