About Us
Liz Handcrafted Soaps is a family operation located in Cross Junction, Virginia. Judy is a former school teacher who fell out of love with writing lesson plans and in love with making all kinds of soap to relax on weekends. Her love of herbs, flowers, essential oils and natural skin care led to the study of soapmaking. Her weekend hobby quickly grew into a full-time business.
Liz Handcrafted Soaps was named to honor the women who have made a positive impact on Judy's life and her creative energy--incidentally, all bear the name Liz or Elizabeth--her mother, daughter, grandmother and step-mother-in-law. Keli Elizabeth, Judy's daughter, created and designed the logo using the family pets as inspiration.
In the spring of 2007, Judy and her husband, Ken, packed up about 400 bars of soap and headed to their first market. Then Judy started selling her soap regularly at The Freight Station Farmers' Market in Winchester, VA. Soon Judy was so busy making soap there was hardly time to keep up with all of the markets. Since then Ken has been a constant support with the weekly farmers' markets, craft fairs and festivals, telephone orders, and wholesale marketing.
We would like to invite you to experience what we call "The Liz Philosophy"--live your life, love what you do, and lather up at the end of the day! After all, why shouldn't you relax and enjoy your bath using a bar of creamy, luxury soap made with natural, therapeutic oils and the aromatherapy of essential oils and fragrances?
