About Mount Royal Soaps

Mount Royal Soap Company was founded in Baltimore, MD in the Spring of 2014 by three soap-obsessed friends: Samantha, Matt, and Pat. What started as a hobby and a small farmer's market table has grown into a successful small business that includes two profitable retail stores, a large wholesale operation, and even an FDA registered hand sanitizer. All three founders were newly in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction at the time and were looking for ways to use their new found time and energy. Making soaps, lotions and skincare products proved to be an amazing way to use our energies in a positive way to help us continue our recovery journey. For years we had studied, developed our recipes, fine-tuned our craft, and tested our products on lucky friends and family members as hobbyists. With a passion for handmade artisan goods, a concern for our local economy, and a love of all things great smelling, we decided to offer the fruits of our collective knowledge and efforts to the public. In the end we do this because we love making soap and responsible, effective, skincare products. From the beginning, we have been fully committed to making products which are Palm Oil Free, plant based, cruelty free and as low waste and zero waste as possible. Our goal is to provide the best sustainably sourced bath and body products to as many people as we can while maintaining our small batch production process right here in Baltimore. Read their story
