About Corner Soap Shop

My name is Jackie Turbot and I have been a professional soapmaker since 2000. I love making soap! It is magical. It can transform a person's life--from kids with acne, to adults with dry skin issues. It transformed my life as a 30 something who was looking for my bliss -- or at least for a way to make a living that did not seem like selling my soul. It worked and now I have been doing it over 2 decades. My soap is the soap you can use anywhere you have skin. It is meant to be more rustic than pretty--I want you to rip it open and use it from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. I don't want it to sit on a shelf because it is too pretty to use. Pretty soaps are often just that. Pretty, but if you try to use them your skin cries because they are drying, the soaps fall apart, or they turn the shower or your washcloth colors--they just aren't great soap. My soap doesn't require you to use chemical laden lotions right out of the shower. Even in the harshest of winters, I rarely use my lotion. The soap is that good! I started playing around with scent, color, ingredients and techniques in 1998. It started in my tiny kitchen in Orlando, Florida and has grown into a dedicated production space now located in Killen, Alabama.Read their story
